Abstract

The vehicle seat includes a seat back having a support frame coupled to the seat base. The seat back also includes a deformable seat shell adapted to assume a variety of shapes between initial and final positions in response to variable rearward loads exerted by the torso of a seated passenger. The seat shell is coupled to the support frame via a compliant shell motion control via an upper motion control connection and a lower motion control connection. The motion control link allows for pivoting movement, and at least one link includes a ball joint. A connector base extends between and interconnects the upper motion control connector and the lower motion control connector, the connector base being coupled to the support frame such that the connector base is in the seat The shell does not move during deformation. The housing motion control may be pre-installed as part of the backrest, or the motion control connector may be formed after the connector base is attached to the support frame.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to vehicle seats, and in particular to seats including expandable and retractable portions. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a vehicle seat including a seat back having a variable shape. Background technique [0002] Vehicle seats typically include a generally horizontal seat bottom and a generally upright seat back. The vehicle occupants sit on the seat bottom, which typically includes comfortable cushions. The seat back may also include comfort padding, but due to the upright position of the seat back, the weight of the occupant is not always useful in ensuring a comfortable, consistent fit of the seat back to the occupant's body. Furthermore, not all vehicle occupants sit in the same posture. Some occupants sit in a relatively upright posture, while other occupants may sit in a slouched posture. These different positions place the occupants' bodies in different physical orientations from each ot...
