Abstract
An adjustable vehicle seat comprises a structurally fixed part, at least one adjustable part mounted for moving relative to the structurally fixed part, and an inflatable cushion positioned between the adjustable part and the structurally fixed part. The inflatable cushion is operative for pneumatically adjusting the position of the adjustable part relative to the structurally fixed part. The pneumatic adjustment of parts of the vehicle seat has the advantage that the compressed air supply which is already available can be shared, making additional electric motors for adjustment purposes unnecessary.
