[0001] SEAT ARRANGEMENT WITH A SEAT COVER TENSIONING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE AND VEHICLE WITH THE SEAT ARRANGEMENT
[0002] Technical area:
[0003] The invention relates to a seat assembly for a vehicle, wherein the seat assembly has a seat cover tensioning device. The invention also relates to a vehicle with the seat assembly.
[0004] Background:
[0005] Vehicle seats typically consist of a seat cushion and a seat cover, with the seat cover stretched over the seat cushion. Without further measures, however, the seat cover can slip relative to the seat cushion, resulting in reduced seating quality and being perceived negatively by the user.
[0006] US Pat. No. 6,899,399 B2 discloses a vehicle seat with a cover material fastening assembly for fastening cover material to the upholstery of the vehicle seat. The fastening assembly has a fastening strip with a V-shaped cross-section, wherein a section of the cover material is received by the fastening strip and connected thereto. Furthermore, the fastening assembly comprises a receiving element connected to the upholstery. The receiving element has retaining tabs that engage around the fastening strip on both sides, so that it is held in a form-fitting manner toward the cover material.
[0007] Description:
[0008] The object of the present invention is to propose an improved fastening of a seat cover to a seat cushion. This object is achieved by a seat assembly having the features of claim 1 and by a vehicle having the features of claim 13. Preferred or advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims, the following description, and the accompanying figures.
[0009] The subject matter of the invention is a seat arrangement that is suitable and / or designed for a vehicle. The vehicle is designed, in particular, as a passenger car, truck, or bus. The seat arrangement can be an integrated seat arrangement for the vehicle; alternatively, the seat arrangement can be designed as an additional assembly.
[0010] The seat assembly includes a seat cover. The seat cover forms a seat surface and / or backrest for the user of the seat assembly. The seat cover is made, in particular, of a flat material, such as a textile material, leather, plastic, etc.
[0011] The seat assembly further includes a seat cushion, which is formed, for example, from foam or another elastically flexible material. The seat cushion can be designed as a reclining seat cushion and / or a seat cushion and / or as a standing seat cushion and / or a back cushion. The seat cushion is arranged, in particular, on a seat frame of the seat assembly, with the seat frame forming an optional component of the seat assembly.
[0012] The seat assembly has at least one or exactly one seat cover tensioning device. The seat cover tensioning device has the function of tensioning and / or securing the seat cover on the seat cushion. In particular, it forms a securing device for the seat cover.
[0013] The seat cover tensioning device comprises a connecting bar and two end connecting devices. The connecting bar can be connected to the two end connecting devices either detachably or permanently. For example, the connecting bar is designed as a solid bar. The material for the connecting bar can be, for example, a particularly dimensionally stable plastic or a metal alloy.
[0014] The seat cover has two end flap sections, wherein the end flap sections have receiving pockets for receiving the connecting strip at the end. The connecting strip can be inserted into the receiving pockets and held in place by the receiving pockets in a form-fitting manner towards the seat cushion. In addition, the receiving pockets receive the connecting strip in a slidingly coupled and / or form-fitting manner in the longitudinal direction of the connecting strip. In particular, the receiving pockets form an end stop in the longitudinal direction for the connecting strip. The receiving pockets form blind holes, in particular in the longitudinal direction, so that the connecting strip cannot be pushed through the end flap sections, but is held and / or limited in a form-fitting manner at each end.By accommodating the connecting strip in the receiving pockets, the receiving pockets are coupled to the connecting strip in a sliding manner and / or held in a form-fitting manner in the longitudinal direction of the connecting strip. Thus, if the connecting strip is displaced in the longitudinal direction, the receiving pockets are moved along with it. Alternatively or additionally, it is provided that the connecting strip is received in the receiving pockets in a form-fitting manner in one direction at a time. Particularly preferably, the spacing of the end tab sections and in particular of the receiving pockets and the length of the connecting strip are selected such that the connecting strip is securely held in the receiving pockets.
[0015] The end flap sections and in particular the receiving pockets together with the connecting strip form a holding group which is connected to the seat cover.
[0016] The end connecting devices are fixed relative to the seat cushion. The end connecting devices engage the connecting strip on the inside adjacent to the end tab portions and hold it, particularly with respect to movement toward the seat cover.
[0017] The distance between the end connecting devices and the adjacent end link sections is selected to be small enough that the end connecting devices hold the holding assembly in a slidingly coupled and / or positively locking manner. In particular, the end link sections, the end connecting devices, and the connecting strip are coordinated with one another in such a way that when the holding assembly is moved from an initial position into a first displacement direction along the longitudinal direction of the connecting strip, the rear end link section abuts against the end connecting devices and the movement in this direction is limited by a slidingly coupled and / or positively locking arrangement. If the holding assembly is moved from the initial position in the opposite direction, the other end link section abuts against the other end connecting device, so that the holding assembly is connected to the end connecting devices in a slidingly coupled and / or positively locking manner in the opposite direction.
[0018] In particular, this adjustment ensures that when the connecting bar is displaced in the first direction of displacement and in the opposite direction in the second direction of displacement, a restoring moment is generated for the connecting bar, so that the connecting bar is always returned to its original position. The invention is based on the consideration that, although known tensioning devices sufficiently pre-tension the seat covers in a direction perpendicular to the seat surface, it cannot be ruled out that the seat cover is displaced along the fastening bar with the fastening bar as a whole, thus remaining deflected from its original position and causing the seat cover to wrinkle.
[0019] The seat cover tensioning device according to the invention ensures that the holding assembly, comprising the end flap sections, in particular the receiving pockets, as well as the connecting strip, and thus the seat cover, is coupled and / or positively connected to the end connection devices and thus relative to the seat cushion in the longitudinal direction of the connecting strip. The sliding coupling and / or the positive connection achieves the restoring moment for the holding assembly and thus for the seat cover relative to the end connection devices and thus relative to the seat cushion, so that the seat cover is pre-tensioned in the correct position not only vertically and transversely, but also in the longitudinal direction of the connecting strip.
[0020] Preferably, the connecting strip is arranged in the receiving pockets in a form-fitting manner, but not in a material-fitting manner, in particular, it is captured. This configuration allows the seat arrangement to be manufactured particularly cost-effectively and easily. Particularly preferably, the end flap sections are designed as loops, so that the connecting strip can be inserted into the loops and is held in a form-fitting manner in the direction of the seat cushion by the loop shape. In a preferred development, the end flap sections are sewn at the ends in order to accommodate the connecting strip in a slidingly coupled and / or form-fitting manner. Alternatively, the end flap sections can also have the loop at the end and be sewn to support the connecting strip.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the seat cover has a seat fastening strip, wherein the seat fastening strip is formed as a fold of the seat cover. In particular, the seat fastening strip extends parallel to the connecting strip. It is provided that the end tab sections are arranged on the seat fastening strip and / or are formed by it. For example, the end tab sections can be designed as separate end tab sections which are permanently connected to the seat fastening strip. Alternatively, the end tab sections can be formed by the seat fastening strip and thus be integrally formed with the seat fastening strip without a separating region. The seat fastening strip acts in particular as a reinforcement of the end tab sections and thus as part of a guide for the connecting strip.The arrangement of the end tab sections on the seat fastening strip ensures that the connecting strip can be securely received in the end tab sections parallel to the seat fastening strip and in particular adjacent to it.
[0022] It is further preferred that the seat cushion has a cushion channel open to the seat cover, wherein the connecting strip is accommodated in the cushion channel. The connecting strip is recessed into the seat cushion through the cushion channel, so that it does not present a nuisance to the user and does not limit seating comfort.
[0023] In a first possible alternative, the end connecting devices are attached in or to the seat cushion. For example, they can be foamed into the seat cushion and / or attached by a material bond. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, however, the end connecting devices are attached to the seat frame. The first alternative has the advantage that the end connecting devices can be arranged elastically and thus contribute to the overall damping of the seat cover. The second alternative has the advantage that a solid base for the end connecting devices is formed on the seat frame.
[0024] It is particularly preferred that the end connection devices are designed as snap-in connections. In particular, the connecting strip can be snapped into the end connection devices, in particular clipped, so that it is secured against displacement in the direction of the seat cover. It is particularly preferred that the end connection devices completely overlap the connecting strip on the side facing the seat cover. In this way, the connecting strip is positively secured in the direction of the seat cover, so that a particularly strong attachment of the connecting strip and thus of the seat cover is achieved.
[0025] In a possible further development of the invention, the seat cover has at least one intermediate tab section for receiving the connecting strip. The intermediate tab section is designed, in particular, as a loop, which can also be arranged, in particular attached, to the seat fastening strip or formed integrally therefrom. The intermediate tab section is arranged between the end tab sections and forms an additional support point when attaching the retaining assembly via the connecting strip. The intermediate tab section tensions the connecting strip more evenly in the direction of the seat cushion.
[0026] In a preferred development of the invention, the seat cover tensioning device has at least one intermediate connecting device, wherein the intermediate connecting device is fixed relative to the seat cushion. In particular, the intermediate connecting device can be constructed identically to the end connecting devices and / or fastened in the same way. The intermediate connecting device is arranged adjacent to, in particular directly adjacent to, the intermediate tab section in a holding direction along the longitudinal direction of the connecting strip. Through this arrangement, the intermediate connecting device holds the holding assembly in a slidingly coupled and / or form-fitting manner in the holding direction. In particular, this prevents displacement of the connecting strip in the longitudinal direction and / or holding direction.
[0027] It can also be provided that such an intermediate connecting device is arranged on both sides of the intermediate link section, so that the intermediate connecting devices hold the holding assembly in a slidingly coupled and / or form-fitting manner in both directions along the longitudinal direction of the connecting strip.
[0028] In one possible embodiment of the invention, the seat assembly has a plurality of seat cover tensioning devices. In particular, these extend in a seat direction and / or backrest direction of the seat assembly. The seat cover tensioning devices can be arranged parallel to one another or, for example, diverging in the seat direction or backrest direction. In particular, the seat assembly can have a side cushion on each side and a seat surface located therebetween, with one seat cover tensioning device being assigned to each side cushion and another seat cover tensioning device extending centrally through the seat surface.
[0029] In one possible development of the invention, at least one intermediate functional layer is arranged between the seat cover and the seat cushion, wherein the intermediate functional layer is designed in particular as a seat heater and / or a seat occupancy sensor mat for detecting seat occupancy of the seat arrangement. By restricting the displaceability of the holding assembly and thus of the seat cover, the relative movement between the seat cover and the intermediate functional layer is also restricted, so that they are less stressed by the relative movement, e.g. in terms of friction. In one possible embodiment of the invention, the seat arrangement is designed as a child seat, which can be arranged as an accessory in the vehicle.
[0030] Another subject of the invention relates to a vehicle with at least one vehicle seat, wherein the vehicle seat comprises the seating arrangement as described above and / or according to one of the preceding claims. In particular, the vehicle seat is designed as a driver's seat, a passenger seat, or as part of a rear seat bench.
[0031] The seat arrangement thus creates a solution that is particularly robust and durable, while at the same time making the installation of the vehicle seats particularly simple, robust, quick and therefore cost-effective.
[0032] The seat cover tensioning device, in particular, constitutes a fixing device that meets the requirements described above and eliminates the known disadvantages of the prior art. The seat cover essentially rests over a large area on the foam padding of the vehicle seat cushion. The seat cover is secured to the foam padding of the seat cushion, for example, using fleece as end flaps, which are attached to a seat fastening strip (also called a listing) or are formed by it.
[0033] The listing is connected to the connecting strip in the form of a profile strip, which forms a permanent snap-in connection with the end connection devices, for example, in the form of clips foamed into the upholstery foam. The end tab sections prevent the seat cover from slipping on the seat cushion by holding the connecting strip at its ends in a form-fitting manner through their positive coupling with the end connection devices, in particular the foamed-in clips of the seat cushion as end stops. Due to the flexibility of the connection, the seat cover tensioning device adapts exceptionally well to the corresponding geometries of the seat cover and the seat cushion, and optionally to the heating mat and / or the seat occupancy sensor mat.
[0034] The positionally stable end connecting devices form a first support shoulder. The use of end flap sections, in particular designed as fleece, is proposed as the end stop of the seat cover tensioning device. The end stop is thus designed like a flap, wraps around the connecting strip and forms a second support shoulder. After the seat cover has been fitted, the second support shoulder (end stop) is supported on the end connecting devices foamed into the seat cushion to ensure a stable position, and both support shoulders together form a support system. This eliminates horizontal relative movement, i.e. slipping, between the seat cover and seat cushion. The flap-like end stop, as one embodiment of the end flap sections, is therefore part of the seat cover fastening (listing) and can be connected detachably (by hook and loop fastening) and / or permanently (e.g. by sewing).
[0035] The seat arrangement provides at least one pair of end flap sections / end connecting devices, particularly a pair of end stops / clips, for support. However, it has been shown that two or more pairs of end flap sections / end connecting devices provide improved fixation. This is particularly advantageous when using seat covers with different material properties (textile, leather, synthetic leather, Alcantara, mixed fabric) and can be specifically adapted to the specific circumstances during seat development.
[0036] The relative material flexibility of the end flap sections advantageously compensates for manufacturing and assembly tolerances. This seat arrangement is therefore particularly suitable for implementing multiple fastening systems, i.e., multiple pairs of end flap sections / end connection devices on a seat cover.
[0037] This seat assembly can be used if the seat assembly includes seat heating. This design also allows the advantages described above to be achieved. Furthermore, the elimination of relative movement significantly reduces the stress on the seat heating and its electrical heating tracks and connections.
[0038] The seating arrangement can be alternative or supplementary if the seating arrangement includes a seat occupancy mat. The seat occupancy mat has a particularly similar structure to the seat heating mat. However, instead of the heating tracks, pressure sensors are installed which detect the seat occupancy of passengers or child seats. Using this technology, restraint systems (airbags) can be switched ON or OFF. The seating arrangement has the advantage that it is applicable to all seats and seat types, such as individual seats and bench seats. The seat cover tensioning device can be used to fix the seat cover in the area of the seat cushion and / or in the area of a especially a seat back
[0039] Instead of the fleece, the seat assembly can also use a flat textile as end flap sections and / or as intermediate flap sections. The textile can be spun, woven, knotted, or knitted. Synthetic fibers or natural fibers are available as raw materials on a large scale.
[0040] Possible advantages of the invention include:
[0041] Stable fastening of the seat cover in the seating arrangement;
[0042] Long-lasting attachment of the seat cover by reducing relative movements with the surroundings (seat cushion, seat heating, etc.)
[0043] Long-lasting effects on seat heating
[0044] No noise due to deformation when the user sits down
[0045] No wrinkling of the seat cover
[0046] Quality improvement
[0047] Higher customer satisfaction
[0048] Simplified assembly process
[0049] Tolerance-compensating seat cover tensioning device as a fixing system Cost reduction
[0050] Further features, advantages, and effects of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention. These show:
[0051] Figure 1 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a seat arrangement for a vehicle as an embodiment of the invention;
[0052] Figure 2 is a schematic plan view of the seating arrangement in Figure 1.
[0053] Corresponding or identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals in the figures.
[0054] Figure 1 shows a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a seat assembly 1 for a vehicle 2 as an exemplary embodiment of the invention. The seat assembly 1 comprises a seat cover 3 and a seat cushion 4, wherein the seat cover 3 is stretched over the seat cushion 4. The section of the seat assembly 1 shown can form a seat region of the seat assembly 1 and / or a back region of the seat assembly 1. The seat cover 3 provides a seat surface or back surface and is made of a flat material, such as a textile fabric, synthetic leather, genuine leather, plastic, or a composite material. The seat cushion 4 can be formed, for example, as a foam or as another elastically flexible material.
[0055] The seat arrangement 1 has a seat cover tensioning device 5, wherein the seat cover tensioning device 5 has the function of tensioning the seat cover 3 onto the seat cushion 4 in an initial position and holding it in the tensioned initial position.
[0056] The seat cover tensioning device 5 has a connecting strip 6, which is designed, for example, as a profile strip made of plastic. In Figure 1, the connecting strip 6 is shown in dashed lines in the concealed area.
[0057] The seat cover 3 has two end flap sections 7, wherein the end flap sections 7 are arranged at the ends of the connecting strip 6. The seat cover 3 forms a seat fastening strip 8, which is designed as a fold and / or as a double-layered region of the seat cover 3. The seat fastening strip 8 is aligned in the same direction and / or parallel to a longitudinal direction L of the connecting strip 6 and arranged adjacent to it. The end flap sections 7 are sewn to the seat fastening strip 8 via connecting seams 9 and are thereby permanently connected to it. Instead of the connecting seams 9, the end flap sections 7 can be connected to the seat fastening strip 8 via detachable connections, such as hook-and-loop fasteners. In alternative exemplary embodiments, the end flap sections 7 are formed integrally and / or from a single material with the seat fastening strip 8.
[0058] Receiving pockets 10 for the free end regions of the connecting strip 6 are formed in the end flap sections 7. The receiving pockets 10 are formed in the direction of the seat cushion 4 by a loop of the end flap sections 7 and are each delimited in the longitudinal direction L by end seams 11. The ends of the connecting strip 6 are thus positively captured in the receiving pockets 6 in the longitudinal direction L and in a thickness direction D. In particular, the connecting strip 6 is captively arranged in the end flap sections 7, in particular in the receiving pockets 10. As a result, the connecting strip is slidingly coupled to the end flap sections 7 and thus to the seat cover 3 with respect to the longitudinal direction L.
[0059] The end flap sections 7, in particular the receiving pockets 10, form with the connecting strip 6 a holding assembly 12 for the seat cover 3.
[0060] The seat cover tensioning device 5 has two end connecting devices 13, wherein the end connecting devices 13 are fixed relative to the seat cushion 4. Optionally, the seat assembly 1 can have a seat frame 14 on which the seat cushion 4 is arranged, wherein the end connecting devices 13 are fixed to the seat frame 14. Alternatively, the end connecting devices 13 are fixed to the seat cushion 4; for example, they can be fastened by a material fit or arranged in a form-fitting manner in the seat cushion 4. The end connecting devices 13 are thus positioned stationary or at least quasi-stationary relative to the seat cushion 4.
[0061] The end connecting devices 13 are arranged on the connecting strip 6, viewed in the longitudinal direction L, on the inside of the end flap sections 7. The end connecting devices 13 are positioned directly adjacent to the end flap sections 7. For example, the end flap section 7 and the end connecting device 13 can each be arranged in contact with one another. Alternatively, a tolerance range, in particular less than 10 mm, preferably less than 5 mm, can be provided between the end connecting device 13 and the end flap section 7 in the initial position of the seat cover 3.
[0062] With this arrangement, the holding assembly 12 is supported on the end connecting devices 13 in a form-fitting and / or sliding manner. In particular, the end flap sections 7, and more specifically the receiving pockets 10, are arranged in a clamp-like manner around the end connecting devices 13. This arrangement ensures that when the seat cover 3 is displaced relative to the seat cushion 4, the holding assembly 12 is carried along. Depending on the direction of displacement in the longitudinal direction, one of the end flap sections 7 is pushed against the adjacent end connecting device 13. Once the end connecting device 13 is arranged stationary relative to the seat cushion 4, the end connecting device 13 creates a restoring moment for the holding assembly 12 and thus for the seat cover 3. This ensures that the seat cover 3 is always returned to its tensioned initial position.
[0063] Optionally, the seat cover 3 can additionally have at least one intermediate tab section 15, wherein the intermediate tab section 15 is designed like a loop and wherein the connecting strip 6 is guided through the loop. The intermediate tab section 15 forms part of the holding assembly 12. The intermediate tab section 15 is connected to the seat cover 3, for example sewn via a further connecting seam 9 or formed integrally therewith. Without further measures, the intermediate tab section 15 forms a further support of the seat cover 3 in the thickness direction D. Optionally, an intermediate connecting device 13 can be arranged adjacent to the intermediate tab section 15 on one side or even on both sides. The relative positioning between the intermediate tab section 15 and the intermediate connecting device 13 can be designed like the relative positioning between the end tab section 7 and the end connecting device 13.In this embodiment, the interaction of the intermediate link section 15 and the adjacent intermediate connecting device 13 also generates a restoring moment when the seat cover 3 is displaced in the longitudinal direction L, which returns the seat cover 3 to its initial position.
[0064] The end connection devices 13 and / or the intermediate connection devices 16 are designed, for example, as locking devices. In particular, the connecting strip 6 can be clipped into the end connection devices 13 and / or the intermediate connection devices 16. In one possible structural design, the end connection devices 13 and / or the intermediate connection devices 16 completely overlap the connecting strip 6, thus providing a positive connection in the thickness direction D.
[0065] The seat cover tensioning device 5 and in particular the connecting strip 6 are arranged in a cushion channel 16 so that it is positioned recessed relative to a usage surface of the seat cover 3 and is not perceived by a user.
[0066] Figure 2 shows a schematic plan view of the seat arrangement 1 with a total of three seat cover tensioning devices 5 for a common seat cover 3 on the seat cushion 4. For example, Figure 2 can show a seat region or a back region of the seat arrangement 1, with a side cushion 18 on the left and right each separated from a center cushion 19. A seat cover tensioning device 5 is arranged in each case in the transition area from the side cushions 18 to the center cushion 19. Furthermore, a third seat cover tensioning device 5 is arranged centrally in the center cushion 19. It can be seen from the illustration that the seat cover tensioning devices 5 tension the seat cover 3 in the transverse direction Q and in the longitudinal direction L and hold it in the initial position. Optionally, an intermediate functional layer 20, such as a seat heater and / or a seat occupancy sensor mat, can be arranged between the seat cushion 4 and the seat cover 3.
[0067] While at least one embodiment has been disclosed in detail above, it should be appreciated that numerous variations of the invention exist. It should also be appreciated that the at least one embodiment is merely exemplary in nature and does not represent a limitation on the scope, areas of application, or configuration. Rather, the present disclosure is intended to be a convenient roadmap for implementing at least one embodiment. Thus, it should be appreciated that various variations in the function or arrangement of the elements of the at least one embodiment may be implemented without departing from the scope of the claims and their legal equivalents.
