Abstract
The invention relates to a seat arranged for enhanced sound perception via vibration including a padding and a sound reproduction assembly (20), which includes at least one vibration source (26), at least one elastic element (16, 21) and at least one frame structure (18, 22), which sound reproduction assembly is at least partially arranged inside the padding. The elastic element/-s (16, 21) are nonhomogenous element/-s and located in contact with the frame structure (18, 22) and the vibration source (26) and configured to provide elastically and mechanically tuned mounting and that the elastic element/-s are configured to create at least lateral vibration to the surface of the seat.
Claims19
A seat arranged for enhanced sound perception via vibration, the seat comprising:
- a padding;
- and
- a sound reproduction assembly (20) which comprises at least one vibration source (26) that produces vibrations, at least one elastic element (16, 21), and at least one frame structure (18, 22),
- wherein at least the at least one elastic element (16, 21) and the at least one frame structure (18, 22) of the sound reproduction assembly are at least partially arranged inside the padding,
- wherein the at least one elastic element (16, 21) is a non-homogenous element and is located in contact with the at least one frame structure (18, 22) and the at least one vibration source (26), and
- wherein the at least one elastic element (16, 21) is configured to provide mechanically tuned mounting and the at least one elastic element (16, 21) is configured to create at least lateral vibration to the surface of the seat, the at least one elastic element (16, 21) providing an elastic coupling between the at least one vibration source (26) and the at least one frame structure (18, 22), the elastic coupling mechanically transmitting the vibration generated by the at least one vibration source (26), via the at least one frame structure (18, 22), to other body parts of the seat to create the at least lateral vibration to the surface of the seat.
