Abstract

A vehicle seat includes a cushion and a seat back connected to the cushion and rotatable between a folded position and an open position. The seat back includes a first inflatable bladder located inside the seat back, a pneumatic actuator fluidly connected to the bladder and configurable between a compressed state and a retracted state, and a pneumatic actuator connected between the actuator and the cushion for A control cable that links the configuration of the actuator to the position of the seat back.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a folding vehicle seat having a retractable portion of a seat back. In particular, the seat back includes a fluid actuator to cause contraction and expansion of the collapsible portion. Background technique [0002] The vehicle may include a foldable seat, wherein the seat back can be rotated in a downward direction into contact with a corresponding seat cushion. A folding seat may be used in conjunction with, for example, a rear seat of a vehicle such that its seat back can be folded to expand the cargo area provided by the vehicle's luggage compartment when not occupied by an occupant or the like. Thus, the degree to which the seat back can be folded affects the available cargo area achieved by such folding. Due to ergonomic and other issues, the seat back and cushion may have a profile and thickness that limits the folding of the seat back such that the rear surface of the seat back supporting the cargo ...
