SEAT SUPPORT ELEMENT COMPRISING A VENTILATION DEVICE FOR A BEARING SURFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034209 titled 'SEAT SUPPORT ELEMENT COMPRISING A VENTILATION DEVICE FOR A BEARING SURFACE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a seat support element that includes a frame and padding. The support element has a ventilation device, which includes a fan mounted on the frame and a bellows that transmits the gas flow from the fan to the padding. The bellows is attached to the frame using a fastening tab.

  • The seat support element includes a frame and padding.
  • A ventilation device is integrated into the support element.
  • The ventilation device consists of a fan and a bellows.
  • The fan is mounted on the frame and emits a gas flow towards the padding.
  • The bellows extends between the fan and the internal surface of the padding.
  • The bellows transmits the gas flow from the fan to the padding.
  • A fastening tab is used to attach the bellows to the frame.
  • The fastening tab passes through an orifice in the frame.

Potential Applications:

  • Automotive seating systems
  • Office chairs
  • Stadium seating
  • Airplane seats

Problems Solved:

  • Improves ventilation and airflow in seats
  • Enhances comfort for occupants by reducing heat and moisture buildup
  • Helps prevent discomfort and potential health issues associated with prolonged sitting

Benefits:

  • Increased comfort for seat occupants
  • Improved air circulation and ventilation
  • Reduced heat and moisture buildup
  • Enhanced overall seating experience


Original Abstract Submitted

a seat support element having a frame and a padding mounted on the frame, extending between an internal surface, near the frame on an external side of the frame, and an external surface, opposite the internal surface and defining a bearing surface for an occupant of the seat. the support element includes a ventilation device for the bearing surface which includes a fan mounted on the frame and arranged to emit a gas flow toward the padding, and a bellows extending between the fan and the internal surface of the padding to transmit the gas flow of the fan to the padding. the bellows has a fastening tab passing through an orifice passing through the frame on the external side to an internal side of the frame, the fastening tab being attached to the frame on the internal side of the frame.
