ENHANCED VEHICLE SEAT VENTILATION AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253542 titled 'ENHANCED VEHICLE SEAT VENTILATION AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES
The abstract describes a patent application for a vehicle seat with enhanced ventilation, utilizing an air permeable mesh exterior, molded foam with holes for air circulation, a rigid duct with additional holes, and a fan to draw in air from the outside.
- The vehicle seat has an exterior made of an air permeable mesh material.
- Below the exterior, there is molded foam with holes that allow air to pass through.
- A rigid duct is connected to the molded foam, featuring additional holes that align with the holes in the foam.
- A fan is included in the design to draw air from the surrounding environment through the mesh exterior and into the rigid duct.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for car seats - Public transportation seating - Office chairs for improved comfort
Problems Solved: - Addressing issues of discomfort and sweating during long periods of sitting - Enhancing air circulation for improved comfort and hygiene
Benefits: - Increased ventilation and airflow for a more comfortable seating experience - Reduction of moisture and heat buildup for improved hygiene - Enhanced overall comfort for users
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Ventilation Vehicle Seats for Improved Comfort This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as automotive seating, public transportation seating, and office furniture to provide enhanced comfort and ventilation for users.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of a fan improve the ventilation of the vehicle seat? - The fan draws in air from the outside through the mesh exterior, creating a continuous flow of fresh air within the seat. 2. What materials are typically used for the air permeable mesh exterior of the vehicle seat? - Common materials include polyester, nylon, or other synthetic fabrics that allow air to pass through easily.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle seat with enhanced ventilation, and construction techniques for the enhanced ventilation, are described herein. an example vehicle seat includes an exterior formed of an air permeable mesh and a molded foam below the exterior. the molded foam has first holes which allow air to pass therethrough. the vehicle seat further includes a rigid duct connected to the molded foam, with the rigid duct having second holes which line up with the first holes. the vehicle seat further includes a fan, with the fan drawing air from an ambient source through the exterior and into the rigid duct.
