The present disclosure relates to a vehicle seat comprising a seating portion, a backrest with a front face and which extends in a main direction Z and which has a hole for the upward exit of a seat belt from the backrest and a support which the seat belt bears against in order to descend along the front face of the backrest, and a headrest mounted on the backrest and slidable relative to the rest of the backrest along the main direction Z. The support is slidable relative to the rest of the backrest along the main direction Z, and the seat comprises a drive mechanism capable of simultaneously causing the headrest to slide along the main direction for a first amplitude Aand the support for a second amplitude Adifferent from the first amplitude A, and an actuator able to actuate the drive mechanism.

Vehicle seat with simultaneous control of the headrest and belt support

A vehicle seat having a pivoting function about a vertical axis (Z). The seat includes a base configured for connection to the floor (PL) of the vehicle via longitudinal rails, a support frame mounted so as to rotate on the base by means of a pivot joint (JP) of axis Zand three curved slide connections (G,G,G), a seating portion frame connected to the support frame directly or via a raising mechanism, and a motorization device interposed between the base and the support frame and configured to cause rotational movement of the support frame relative to the base. The axis Zof the pivot joint is eccentric with respect to a central area of the seating portion frame.

Vehicle seat with motorized pivoting movement

A seat back includes a backrest formed of a first polymeric material for supporting an occupant. A bracket formed of a different material than the first polymeric material of the backrest is anchored to the backrest for coupling to a seat cushion. A reinforcing composite layer is connected to the backrest and is formed of a second polymeric material and a plurality of fibers impregnated in the second polymeric material. The first polymeric material of the backrest is mechanically engaged with the bracket free of melt bonding between the first polymeric material of the backrest and the bracket. The first polymeric material of the backrest is melt bonded to the second polymeric material of the reinforcing composite layer integrating the backrest, the bracket, and the reinforcing composite layer.

Seat back including integrated backrest and reinforcing composite layer

A vehicle seat includes a seat bottom and a seat back extending upwardly from the seat bottom. A cushion is included in each of the seat bottom and seat back. A stream of air is provided to the seat bottom and back to reach a passenger seated on the vehicle seat.

Vehicle seat cushion with integrated ventilation

A headrest for mounting on one or more vertically extending posts positioned on the backrest of a vehicle seat, the headrest comprising one or more mounting sleeves positioned on the headrest and adapted to surround a portion of a respective one of said posts, pivot means extending between each mounting sleeve and the respective post to mount the mounting sleeve on the respective post in pivotal relation thereto about a pivot axis substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the post, each mounting sleeve being shaped and otherwise dimensioned on an internal surface to resist pivotal motion of the headrest between first and second positions below application of a directed threshold force to the headrest.
