Abstract
The present invention is directed to a heating and ventilation inlay for a vehicle seat that is adapted to be placed in a recess in a seat cushion or backrest of the vehicle seat underneath a seat trim. The heating and ventilation inlay comprises an arrangement of layers including an air permeable heating mat having a heating conductor running on the heating mat. Underneath the heating mat an air permeable layer of spacer material is connectable to a fan or suction fan for transporting air through the heating and ventilation inlay. The heating mat and the layer of spacer material are connected to each other and form a composite that can be handled as a unitary component, by a plurality of rivets which are distributed over the area of the heating and ventilation inlay. The rivets are pierced through the heating mat and the spacer material layer.
