Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 A seat frame is shown comprising two side portions of bases (1) and (2) connected by cross members (3) and (4). Each of said side parts comprises two plates (5), (6) and (7), (8). The rear support frame has three columns (9), (10) and (11). As shown, the section is hollow and reinforced by including stiffening members (12) and (13) in the locations of the base portions (10) and (11) of the seat belt mounting points (14) and (15) . The rear section columns (10) and (11) are also provided with reinforcements (16) and (17). The reinforcement at (17) may provide strength at the upper mounting point of the seat belt.

[0026] figure 2 is a schematic view of the rear panel of the rear seat comprising two metal plates (18) and (19) with hollow sections (20) and (21). image 3 Reinforcing parts (22) are shown which can be inserted into the hollow cavity of the plate (19) and reinforcements provided in the plate (23) are shown.

Abstract

Vehicle seat frames of increased strength at constant or lighter weight are provided by including a foam reinforcement (15) within the hollow sections (10) that make up the seat frame. The foam may be provided on a carrier which can be designed to provide additional reinforcement to the seat frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to seats, in particular to seats for use in sports environments where protection against impacts and / or speed changes is required. The invention is particularly advantageous for seats used in transportation, such as in motor vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks and buses, and in trains and aircraft. Background technique [0002] Seats, especially those used in motor vehicles, are usually based on hollow metal frames comprising tubular, box or open sections (eg U, C, I, G, W) or other shaped sections which The frame is made of stampings welded together. These frames are designed such that they can carry accessories such as reclining mechanisms, mechanisms for moving the seat back and forth, heating and cooling elements and associated electronics. These frames can also be designed in such a way that they can carry the various required seats and cushioning materials, and said frames can ...
