Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the art of vehicle seating and more particularly to ventilated seating wherein air may be forced upwardly from the seating surface or draw downwardly therethrough to enhance occupant comfort. More specifically, the present invention relates to a ventilated seating system which is easy to install into a seat in a single operation and which is easy to adapt to a wide variety of seating designs. f00031 DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART.
- Many different types of ventilated seats are known to the art. They typically are designed to enhance occupant comfort by passing air through the covering of the seat or horizontal through the seat itself. In warm weather the air flow moves in the vicinity of the seat contacted by the occupant's body and assists in cooling and reducing sweating. In cold weather, ventilated seats can help warm the occupant if heated air is forced through the seat or the seat covering. It is known therefore, that air flow in ventilated seats can be in either direction.
- ventilated seats can be ambient air (i.e., air of the same temperature as the vehicle interior) or cooled or heated air.
- a ventilated seat can be coupled to a vehicle's air conditioning system.
- known ventilated seating can include flow control to increase or decrease total air flow, as well as direction, such as by having low, medium and high flow settings.
- Ventilated vehicle seating while being known for some time, is not widely used in the industry and is usually an expensive option or standard equipment in luxury priced vehicles.
- One reason is cost of manufacture, and as noted in many of the patents provided with this application, ventilated seating systems can be complex in design and difficult to install. In many cases providing a ventilation feature becomes a dominant consideration in overall seat design and may force the seat manufacturer to compromise comfort or styling details. In most cases the ventilation components must be carefully located within the seat, and the duct work and air moving apparatus must be accounted for before the final layer of seat cushioning and trim is sewn to the other components. Increased time in assembly equates to increased cost for the manufacturer, the OEM and the ultimate customer.
- a ventilated seating system which works effectively and provides even air flow at the portions of the seat to be ventilated, and which is less costly to manufacture than prior art ventilated seats, would represent a substantial advance in this art.
- a primary feature of the present invention is to provide a ventilated seating system which overcomes the above-noted disadvantages of prior art ventilated seats.
- Another feature of the present invention is to provide a ventilated seating system which is relatively inexpensive and which can be easily adapted to a variety of seat designs.
- a different feature of the present invention is to provide a ventilated seating system which produces a substantially uniform air flow in all of the areas of the seat where ventilation is desired.
- Yet another feature of the present invention is to provide a ventilated seating system which may include a heating layer to enhance occupant comfort during cold weather.
- Another feature of the present invention is to provide a ventilated seating system, the performance of which is not impaired by heavy occupants.
- the ventilated seating system which is located beneath the trim (for example, perforated leather, cloth, etc.) and is installed at the plant of the seat manufacturer.
- the ventilated seating system includes a bag having upper and lower sheets of non- permeable material which prevent the passage of air except at locations determined by the manufacturer.
- a three dimensional, expanded spacer material preferably one which includes upper and lower layers of netting and fibers located therebetween which are stiff and which extend between the upper and lower netting layers. Expanded plastics can also be used.
- the spacer material is sufficiently stiff to avoid blockage of air flow when the seat is occupied, even by heavy occupants. Holes are provided in the upper surface of the bag, and preferably the holes are provided in a pattern matching the contact area of the occupant.
- the bag for a seat cushion may include holes arranged in a U-shape, while a seat back might include a linear array of holes extending from the lower part of the seat to the upper part.
- An air movement system e.g., a fan or a duct coupled to the vehicle's air conditioning system
- the air movement system is in a suction mode, air is drawn through the holes, into the spacer material and out of the bag. In a pressurization mode, air is forced into the bag and outwardly through the holes.
- An optional heater pad may be employed as a layer between the seat trim layer and the upper layer of the bag, or heating may be accomplished by coupling the air mover to the vehicle forced air heating system. For cooling, ambient air may be used, or the fan may be coupled to the vehicle's air conditioning system.
- FIGURE 1 is a perspective, schematic view, with portions broken away, showing the main components of the ventilated seating system according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention
- FIGURE 2 is a perspective, schematic view of the ventilated seating system of the present invention (with the upper trim and the optional heating layer removed) showing the placement of two ventilated seating bags on the cushion and seatback and illustrating the coupling thereof to a single fan; and
- FIGURE 3 is an exploded view of the major components of the present invention.
- the ventilated heating system of this invention can be used with a wide variety of seats, including the sport or bucket type seat illustrated in FIGURE 2 or in bench seating.
- the ventilation system may be occupant selective, i.e., may have separate controls for different portions of the same seat, or may have a single bag system with one control.
- the ventilated heating system of this invention is shown with an air-permeable optional heating pad over the upper layer of the bag and beneath the trim of the seat.
- Other ways of seat heating may be employed, such as coupling the air space within the bag to the vehicle's air heating system.
- the ventilated seating system of the present invention be sewn along with seat trim and cushioning components to enhance manufacturing efficiency.
- the bag may be assembled as a separate component and then placed in the seat and coupled to the fan as a separate unit.
- cushioning and other comfort layers which are not illustrated or described in detail in the specification may be used. If cushion layers are placed over the top of the bag, they should be open pore to permit air to readily pass through them.
- the materials used for constructing the trim, heater pad and the bag itself may be selected from a wide range of materials.
- air-permeable materials should be selected, such as cloth or perforated leather, but the thickness, color, etc., may be widely varied.
- Other spacer materials such as expanded plastics, can be employed within the air-impermeable bag, so long as air flow is permitted to occur in any direction, i.e., longitudinally, laterally, or vertically within the spacer material itself.
- the preferred spacer material to be used herein is a series 5900 spacer material manufactured by Mueller Textile of Wiehl, Germany.
- This material in addition to providing air distribution benefits, also provides comfort benefits and includes an upper netting layer, a lower netting layer and a plurality of stiffened resin fibers extending between the netting layers. It may deform slightly when an occupant sits on the seat, but the material is sufficiently resilient that it will not be crushed to the point the air flow is blocked, thereby impairing the effectiveness of the seat ventilation.
- the upper layer of the bag is made of a dual layer material having a first lower layer consisting of an air-impermeable resin film, over which is placed a thin foam layer.
- a suitable material is PladilonTM material, manufactured by Foamex International, Inc., of Southfield, Michigan, U.S.A.
- FIGURE 1 shows in schematic form with portions cut away, a ventilated seat assembly 1 0 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Assembly 1 0 includes a number of different layers which, in various aspects of the invention can be varied and/or eliminated as mentioned above.
- the upper layer of seat assembly 1 0 is the perforated trim which preferably is cloth or perforated leather.
- Located beneath the trim 1 2 is an air- permeable heater layer 1 4.
- Located beneath heater layer 1 4 is the top layer 1 6 of a bag 1 8.
- the bottom 20 of bag 1 8 is also shown in this Figure, as is the joining of the top 1 6 and bottom 20 to form an air-impermeable bag, except for a plurality of holes 22 formed in the bag top 1 6. It can be noted in FIGURE 1 that a hole can be formed in the heater pad 1 4, but if the heater pad material is air permeable, it is not necessary to do so. It will also be noted in FIGURE 1 that the size of the holes 22 located near the lower portion of the FIGURE are larger than holes nearer the heater pad 1 4. More will be said in this regard later.
- the final component of assembly 1 0, as shown in FIGURE 1 is a spacer material 24.
- the preferred spacer material is the Mueller Textile material which includes an upper netting layer, a lower netting layer and a plurality of fibers extending between them. This material has sufficient resiliency to prevent crushing of spacer layer 24 when an occupant sits on or leans back against a ventilated seat assembly 1 0.
- FIGURE 2 illustrates the use of two bags attached to a seat 30 comprised of a seatback 32 and a seat cushion 34.
- One bag 1 0 resides along the center area of the seatback 32, while another bag is located at the center portion of the cushion 34.
- the bags each extend through the bite line of the seat and the bag impermeable layers are suitably coupled to a fan 35 located below the bite line.
- FIGURE 2 also illustrates in greater detail the aspect of the preferred embodiment of the present invention which varies the size of the holes 22 as the distance from the air mover increases.
- three openings are provided in the bag extending up the backrest 32 with holes 37, 38 and 39 becoming gradually larger as the distance from fan 35 increases.
- a linear pattern is provided for these holes, as that pattern has been found to be acceptable for the heating or cooling of an occupant.
- the bag located on the cushion 34 also includes a pattern of openings 22, this time the openings being provided in a U-shape to rest under the legs and seat of the occupant.
- the opening 42 at the bottom of the "U" is the smallest and sets of openings 43, 44, 45, and 46 extend in a spaced relationship toward the front of the bag and grow gradually larger.
- This size and arrangement of the air holes, with the smaller holes being near the air mover, contributes to a more uniform flow of air from the air mover, in this case fan 35. It should be understood however, that the hole sizes may be the same without departure from the scope of this invention.
- FIGURE 3 a more detailed, exploded view of a single bag is shown.
- the same reference numerals will be used as were used in connection with FIGURE 1 for the various layers.
- the perforated trim layer 1 2 is shown above the heater layer 1 4 (and in this case, the electrical coupling through wires 1 5 is shown).
- the bag top 1 6 is located beneath the heater and the spacer material 24 is then provided. Bottom 20 of the bag completes the assembly on a seat cushion 48.
- each of the bag top 1 6, spacer 24 and bag bottom 20 include elongate tails marked with the same reference number with a prime sign (e.g. 1 6'). In the illustrated embodiment, these extend through the seat bite line and an opening 49 is provided in the material forming the bag top 1 6.
- a fan 50 acts as the air mover and is coupled to opening 49.
- the tail may extend forwardly or to the side.
- the system illustrated in FIGURE 3 is preferably sewn to the seat at the same time trim 1 2 is attached.
- Components 1 2, 1 4, 1 6 and 20 can be sewn together, the sewing of the latter two forming a portion of the seal extending about bag 1 8.
- Components 1 6' and 20' would be sewn along their edges to maintain the air-impermeability in that area.
- the attachment of the fan itself could be made in any suitable manner, such as by using an adhesive or the like. It is also easy to understand by reference to FIGURE 3 how other air moving systems could be employed ' for the ventilated' seat of the present invention.
- a duct extending from the vehicle's air conditioning system could have its end coupled in a sealed relationship to opening 49 to allow heated or cooled air to pass along the spacer to the holes (not shown in this Figure) and the bag top 1 6.
- the speed and direction of air movement can be controlled by a separate controller coupled to the air mover 50 or by using the fan speed and temperature controls of the vehicle. If a fan 50 is used which is not directly coupled to the vehicle's air conditioning system, it is preferred that the fan be reversible to operate in a pressurizing or suction mode and that the fan be multi- speed, i.e., having at least low, medium and high settings.
