One depression is on one side of the centerline and the other depression is on an opposite side of the centerline. A third permanent depression is on the centerline and spaced apart from the axis that passes through the pair of spaced apart permanent depressions and is closer to the rear edge of the seat than the pair of spaced apart permanent depressions. | 01-22-2015 |
20150048666 | SEAT - A seat for use in a passenger vehicle, e.g. for prisoner transport, comprises a molded piece having at least one first contact zone at a periphery of the molded piece and at least second contact zone located inward of the periphery of molded piece. The second contact zone may comprise a multi-surface formation that is configured to engage a multi-surface formation of a vehicle body. The molded piece may comprise one or more recesses designed to accommodate the body of a passenger. The at least one second contact zone may be disposed in an area of the seat that receives the buttocks of a passenger, thereby providing additional support in a load bearing area of the seat. | 02-19-2015 |
20150291070 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat is obtained capable of suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles in natural leather employed in a cover while suppressing a reduction in seating comfort of the seat. A non-woven fabric is disposed between a foam member and a foam member, so as to cover a portion of contact with the buttocks of a seated occupant, as viewed from above. The non-woven fabric suppresses extension and contraction of natural leather at the pressed portion, thereby suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles in the natural leather at the pressed portion. By only suppressing the extension-contraction amount of the natural leather at the portion where wrinkles are liable to occur, the occurrence of wrinkles in the natural leather can be suppressed while suppressing a reduction in the seating comfort of the seat. | 10-15-2015 |
20160058193 | FLEXIBLE SEATING SURFACE - A seat has a first ischial region, a second ischial region, a tailbone region and a thigh transitional region, each having at least one slot. Each slot generally opens outward, away from a center of the seat. Each slot may have an elongated central portion and two distal portions extending from the central portion. The central portion and distal portions may have a specific configuration relative to each other to provide desired support characteristics. The slots may allow flexing and cantilevering of portions of the seat to dynamically contour the seat based on the weight of the user. | 03-03-2016 |
