No. 793,039 Claims priority, application Germany Feb. 20, 1958 14 Claims. (Cl. 297-312)
- the present invention relates to a seat, especially for motor vehicles, provided with a synclinal or troughshaped seating surface and an upholstered backrest.
- the seating surface is provided with an inclined support surface for the pelvis inclined against the backrest and that the backrest consists of several cushions or groups of cushions which are movably secured in the backrest frame independently of each other in the swinging direction of the seating surface.
- the vertebral column of the seated person is supported on a pelvis which is supported in a stable manner, i.e., which is effectively supported, and an approximately straight shape of the vertebral column is enforced thereby whereby tilting movements of the pelvis about the ischium tuberosities are prevented.
- the seating support consists of a troughshaped member for the pelvis and an adjustable support for the thighs pivotally secured thereto.
- the support for the thighs is thereby adapted to be adjusted in several planes and at different angles of inclination whereby the possibility exists to adapt the support to the anatomic departures of the length of the upper thighs, of the volumes of the upper thighs and to orthopedic defects.
- the support for the thighs is retained by means of a hinge joint having a locking mechanism adapted to be locked in a continuous manner so as to retain the same in any selected position.
- the most favorable rest position for the pelvis results if the lower-most point of the trough-shaped seat member is disposed ahead of the inclined support surface and forms the support for the ischium tuberosities of the pelvis.
- the supporting surface of the seat is inclined against the backrest by an angle of about 20 whereby the correct anatomic shape of the spine is enforced.
- the support surface may be made, depending on the structural conditions, in one piece with the trough-shaped pelvissupport member or with the lowermost backrest cushion or may be formed in part by both the trough-shaped pelvis-support member and the backrest.
- the seating support may also be formed by a dish-shaped bowl-like member for the support of the pelvis connected with the seating frame and subjected to a spring effect.
- This seat construction oifers the advantage that the most favorable angle of inclination of the ischium tuberosities with respect to the sacrum is maintained at all times for both the front as well as the rear seat position.
- the dishshaped bowl member for the pelvis includes, starting at the lowest point thereof serving as support for the ischium tuberosities, a support surface inclined against the backrests whereby a parallel spring system acts under the support for the ischium tuberosities which is constituted by progressive, possibly adjustable coil springs.
- the back est consists of pillows of different depth whereby, for purposes of providing any desired shape for the contour thereof, they are interchangeable among each other in any suitable manner.
- the backrest may be adapted to the most different anatomic conditions which may be required of the backrest by the Weight and shape of the seated person.
- An anterior curvature of the backrest during the assembly thereof within the region of the lumbar vertebra does not serve thereby, as in the known constructions, as thigh support, but instead as a counterpressure against the formation of a round back with the aim to obtain an erect spine.
- Each of the backrest cushions or pillows is secured at the backrest frame in a springy manner in the vertical direction thereof and adjustably in the horizontal direction thereof.
- the individual pillows or cushions may be readily displaced in the vertical direction under the friction effect between the body and the backrest during swinging movements of the body so that the entire backrest surface corresponds to the seat support in the swinging behavior thereof.
- the pillows are preferably retained in their normal position by pre-tensioned coil springs which are anchored in the pillows and in the backrest frame.
- the pillows or cushions consist of deformable material such as foam rubber, or any other suitable material and are provided with a cover.
- the backside of the backrest is provided with apertures for the passage of air to the pillows whereby a draft-free ventilation of the backrest is produced.
- Another object of the present invention is the provision of an adjustable seating arrangement for motor vehicles which may be readily adjusted so as to conform to the particular anatomic characteristics of the seated person.
- Another object of the present invention resides in the provision of a seat which provides a most favorable support for the various parts of the vertebra to assure maintenance of the proper positions thereof even during swinging movements which may occur with the person seated while driving over unevennesses in the road.

- FIGURE 3 is a side view of a modified embodiment of a seating arrangement for a motor vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- FIGURE 4 is a plan view of the seat illustrated in FIG- URE 3 on a slightly smaller scale
- FIGURE 5 is a side view on an enlarged scale of the hinge joint for purposes of adjustably stopping the pivotal thigh support in accordance with the present invention
- FIGURE 6 is a cross-sectional view of the seat illustrated in FIGURE 1 taken along section line VIVI;
- FIGURE 7 is a cross-sectional view of the hinge joint illustrated in FIGURE 5 taken along section line VII-- VII.
- reference numeral 1 designates the vehicle floor on which an adjustable seat generally designated by reference numeral 2 is adjustably secured in any manner known per se.
- the seat generally designated by reference numeral 2 consists of a seat cushion or seating surface 3 and a backrest 4.
- the seating surface or cushion 3 includes a trough-shaped member 5' for the pelvis and a thigh support 6 pivotally secured thereto.
- the trough-shaped member 5 is formed by a covered wedgeshaped foam rubber piece and is so constructed that the lowest point 7 in the outer upper configuration thereof is disposed in front of a support surface 8 which is inclined against the backrest 4 under an angle a of about 20.
- the thigh support 6 is adjustable, as indicated in dotted line in FIGURE 1, in several planes and under different angles of inclination.
- a hinge joint 9 is provided which is arranged on both sides of the seating surfact 3.
- the hinge joint 9 consists of an angle lever 10 (FIGURES 5 and 7) suitably secured at the thigh support 6 by supporting plate 10' and of a double-armed lever 11 suitably secured at the trough-shaped support member 5 by supporting plate 11.
- the lever 11 is provided with a guide groove 12 into which extends the pin 13 of a clamping nut member 14. Both levers 10 and 11 are prestressed against each other under the effect of a suitable spring 15 such as, for example, a volute buffer spring.
- the backrest 4 includes, for example, six individual cushions 16 of different depth which are arranged one above the other in the backrest frame 17.
- Each of the cushions 16 also consists of a foam rubber piece which is covered with a cover 18 of any suitable material resistant to wear.
- the cushions 16 abut snugly with the side surfaces 19 and 19' thereof at the backrest frame 17 and are movably retained in the frame 17 by means of coil springs 20 and 20' arranged on both sides thereof which are pre-stressed.
- These springs 20 and 20 are anchored in the cushion rear side reinforced by means of a terminal sheet-metal member 21 and are tensioned with respect to the backrest frame 17.
- the backrest frame 17 includes several securing apertures 22 arranged at a distance from one another for receiving therein the anchoring ends of the springs 20 and 20' of the individual cushions 16, as well as apertures 23 on the rear side of the backrest for the passage therethrough of air serving to ventilate the backrest.
- the springs 20 and 20 are at first lifted out of the respective apertures 22, whereupon the cushion 16 is displaced manually and thereupon the springs 20 and 20' are again inserted into other apertures, for example,
- the other backrest cushion 16 may be adjusted in the same manner, and more particularly in the same as well as in the opposite direction thereof so that any desired contour of the backrest 4 may be obtained. Furthermore, it is possible by loosening the securing nut member 14 to adjust the thigh support 6 corresponding to the upper thigh volume so that local pressures at the soft body parts are avoided. The arrangement is thereby selected in such a manner that upon opening of the nut member 14 the support 6 is forced automatically against the thighs by the force of the spring 15. Furthermore, the thigh support 6 may be stopped and retained in each and every plane favorable to the desired seating position with respect to the backrest inclination.
- FIGURES 3 and 4 a modified embodiment of a seating construction in accordance with the present invention is shown which distinguishes itself from the embodiment of FIGURES l and 2 primarily by the provision of a dish-shaped bowl-like pelvis-support member.
- the same parts are, therefore, again designated by the same reference numerals, however, with the use of corresponding primed reference numerals.
- the seat generally designated by reference numeral 2' secured to the vehicle body 1 also includes a seating surface 3' and a backrest 4'.
- the seating surface or cushion 3' consists of a bowl-like member 24 for the pelvis and of a thigh support 6' pivotally secured thereto.
- the bowl-like member 24 is shaped concavely whereby, as in the embodiment described hereinabove, a support surface 8' inclined against the backrest 4' is provided which begins at the lowest point 7 of the external upper contour of the bowl member 8.
- the supporting surface 8' passes over into an abutment or rest 25 for the thighs which is supported against the lowermost backrest cushion 16.
- the bowl member 24, properly speaking, which is made, for example, of synthetic material, is supported by coil springs 26 and 26 arranged parallel to each other which act thereon at the lowest point 7, i.e., within the region of the ischium tuberosities.
- the coil springs 26 and 26 are provided with a pitch which becomes increasingly smaller in the direction toward the seat frame 27 and are secured at the bottom thereof on the seat frame 27.
- the progressive coil springs 26 prevent, by the increasing spring force thereof, an excessive seat inclination and simultaneously maintain, together with the pelvis bowl member 8, the optimum seating conditions for the spine.
- any other securing means may be selected in the place of the one shown herein utilizing the spring 20 and 20, as long as the cushion movement is resiliently supported and aided.
- the individual cushions 16 or 16 of the backrest may be subdivided in any suitable manner and may be manufactured for that purpose of any suitable material.
- the pivotal connection of the thigh supports 6 or 6' may be realized by other types of hinges while the bowl member 8 may be inserted as pressed or stamped part, for example, between suitable spring means and the seat cover, properly speaking.
