A thermal system for a vehicle seat. The thermal system includes a seat insert: a connector having a first portion at least partially located within the seat insert; and an air mover connected to the seat insert via the connector. The air mover is adapted to generate an air flow within the insert. The first portion of the connector includes one or more air directors within the insert that are configured to change a direction of the air flow within the insert.

Connector for thermal system of a ventilated vehicle seat

An air distribution device that includes a seat plate. The seat plate includes one or more cushion engaging features. The one or more cushion engaging features are configured to engage one or more corresponding plate engaging features provided on a seat cushion of a vehicle seat.

Vehicle seat air distribution device

A comfort assembly for a vehicle seat cushion, the comfort system includes a carrier having a thermal device; a spacer layer attached to the B-side of the carrier; and an effector device attached to the spacer layer so that the spacer layer is between the effector device and the B-side of the carrier; the effector device is attached to the carrier before the comfort assembly is installed onto an A-surface of the cushion of the vehicle seat.

Comfort assembly for a vehicle seat

A distribution system for a vehicle seat. The distribution system includes one or more plenums that each have a cap layer, a support layer, and an open space formed between the cap layer and the support layer. The support layer is a generally rigid material and the cap layer is a generally flexible material that is connected to the support layer. The open space includes one or more baffles that assist in directing fluid between a blower connected to the one or more plenums and one or more ventilation holes.

B-side distribution system

A distribution system for a vehicle seat The distribution system includes one or more plenums that each have a cap layer, a support layer, and an open space formed between the cap layer and the support layer. The support layer is a generally rigid material and the cap layer is a generally flexible material that is connected to the support layer. The open space includes one or more baffles that assist in directing fluid between a blower connected to the one or more plenums and one or more ventilation holes.

An air distribution system that includes a plenum, which has a bottom wall, a peripheral wall connected to the bottom wall and extending around a periphery of the plenum to define one or more open spaces in the plenum, and one or more connection recesses in the bottom wall adapted to connect to a blower. A top surface of the peripheral wall is configured to contact a bottom surface of a cushion of a vehicle seat to enclose the one or more open spaces.

Single piece plenum

A distribution system that includes a plenum. The plenum has a top layer, a bottom layer, an open space formed between the top layer and the bottom layer, and one or more ventilation holes within the top layer. The plenum includes a duct extending from one or more of the one or more ventilation holes that couples the plenum to a cushion hole within a cushion so that the plenum and the cushion are in fluid communication.
