Method and apparatus for comfort evaluation of the seat -, - and cushions, in particular for vehicle seats

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for the comfort evaluation of cushions, in particular in the case of vehicle seats, in which by means of at least one test plunger (11) in a planar manner in the form of a compressive force is applied to a padded surface. It is here by way of a displacement measuring system (6) the deformation in the case of a predefined force acting in the following quasi-statically and the dying down of the padding in the case of abrupt termination of the application of force via the movement of the test plunger (11) is recorded, wherein for the comfort evaluation of the deformation in the case of quasi-static application of force during the swinging out and be evaluated. The device has a drive (10) and a separately from this, which is constructed as a ram guide (8) with release mechanism for the test plunger (11) on.
