Polyhedral body of an articulation assembly for a vehicle seat

An articulation assembly for a vehicle seat, comprising:

• a planar engagement surface;
• an inflatable member operably coupled to the planar engagement surface, the inflatable member including:
• a plurality of polyhedral bodies having a foldable portion that defines crease lines;
• and
• a plurality of elastomeric members disposed on each of the crease lines;
• a planar base including a port fluidly coupled to the polyhedral bodies;
• and
• a manifold fluidly coupled to the port of the planar base and configured to translate fluid through the port to the polyhedral bodies.

A vehicle seat assembly, comprising:

• a seat base;
• a shell coupled to the seat base and defining a space between the seat base and the shell;
• a planar engagement surface selectively coupled with the shell;
• a polyhedral body having a first end and a second end operably coupled to the planar engagement surface on the first end, the polyhedral body defining a cavity and having a plurality of foldable portions, wherein each of the plurality of foldable portions includes a first surface and a second surface defined by a plurality of crease lines, wherein the first surface and the second surface of each of the plurality of foldable portions each comprise a triangular shape;
• and
• a planar base operably coupled to the second end of the polyhedral body and including a port configured to translate the polyhedral body between a compressed condition and an extended condition.
