Motor vehicle seat has base cushion made with deployable front structure to provide additional thigh support

摘要

The seat consists of a base cushion (1) with a central zone, two side zones, and a front zone. The latter has a spring-loaded nose structure (11) that can be deployed to give the seat extra length and thigh support. The deployable structure is covered by adjustable front (4) and side flaps that match the seat cushion covering material, and can be deployed by an inner inflatable bag or a mechanical system and retracted by springs.
