A vehicle seat back comprising a seat back frame with a pillar, an airbag device and a side airbag, the airbag device comprising at least one airbag and an airbag support for attaching the airbag to the seat back frame, and the side airbag comprising a side airbag trim and at least one side airbag trim support for attaching the side airbag to the seat back frame, wherein the trim support and the airbag support comprise at least one assembly point for their attachment to the pillar of the seat back frame.

Vehicle seat back provided with an airbag device and method of assembly such a seat back

A backrest of a vehicle seat comprises a backrest armature, at least one central upholstery module and two side upholstery modules each arranged on a respective side of the central upholstery module. Each of the at least three upholstery modules is fixed to the backrest armature independently of the other two upholstery modules.

Vehicle seat backrest

A backrest of a vehicle seat includes an armature and an upholstery fixed to the armature. The upholstery has a slit for accommodating a headrest support rod by relative movement of the upholstery with respect to the armature in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat. The backrest further includes first and second trim elements. Each trim element forms a notch. The notches of the first and second trim elements define a passage for a headrest support rod. The second trim element partially covers the slit in the upholstery. The first and/or the second trim elements is/are in contact with the upholstery.

A suspension mat for a vehicle seat comprises a spring element, and a guiding support for at least one electrical cable. The guiding support is molded onto the spring element.

A hinge assembly for a vehicle seat includes: a first plate and a second plate, mounted rotatable relative to each other about a transverse direction; a hinge arranged between the first plate and the second plate; and a tilt sensor configured to measure an angle formed between the first plate and the second plate about the transverse direction. The tilt sensor is arranged next to the hinge and at least partially between the first plate and the second plate.

Hinge assembly comprising a tilt sensor

The present disclosure relates to a seat member comprising a first shell, a second shell fixed to the first shell, and a padding covering the second shell such that the second shell is sandwiched between the first shell and the padding, the padding being configured to support a user, and a ventilation system comprising a fan and a duct, the duct being defined by the first shell and the second shell and forming an air passage placing the fan and padding in communication via holes in the second shell. The duct comprises a housing able to receive the fan, and the first shell comprises a door through which the fan can be placed in the housing, the fan having a first orifice for the passage of air between the exterior and the fan, the door having a hole located facing the first orifice.

Seat element with a ventilation system

A seat element having a cover and padding configured to serve as support for a user, and having a ventilation and thermal control system that includes a thermoelectric module, a blower, and a conduit delimiting a passage for air connecting the blower and the thermoelectric module. The ventilation and thermal control system is configured for passing a flow of air coming from the cover towards the blower, and the thermoelectric module is configured for cooling and/or heating the airflow.

Vehicle seat and seat element equipped with a ventilation and thermal control system

An adjustment mechanism for a motor vehicle seat includes first and second sensors, which are mounted on a first component of the adjustment mechanism, and protuberances provided on the second component of the adjustment mechanism. The first and second sensors are mounted facing the protuberances, with the sensors being positioned so that there is a phase difference between the signals detected by the two sensors. The mechanism includes an electronic control unit that determines a direction of movement of the components, based on the detected phase difference.

Adjustment mechanism for motor vehicle seat

A seat element includes a supporting structure, padding resting on the supporting structure and configured to serve as a support for a user, and a ventilation system having at least one fan and at least one duct placing the padding and the fan in communication. The duct is formed of a flexible material which preferably comprises a foam of polyolefin and/or ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) and/or acrylonitrile butadiene (NBR).

Vehicle seat and seat element comprising an ergonomic ventilation system

A seat element that includes a supporting structure, a padding configured to serve as a support for a user, and a ventilation system having at least one fan and a duct defining an air passageway placing the fan and the padding in communication. The duct has a first member and a second member fixed to one another, the first member being arranged between the supporting structure and the padding.
