Abstract
A seat for a vehicle, preferably a motor vehicle, includes a bottom and a back. The back of a passenger bears against the back of the seat. The back of the seat is mounted to swing together with the back of the passenger in a vertical direction. The seat back has a natural frequency which is higher than the natural frequency of the seat bottom when bearing a passenger.
Claims1
A vehicle seat comprising:
- a frame,
- a seat mounted on said frame for resiliently supporting a passenger and having a natural frequency, and
- a back support mounted on said frame and having a natural frequency for reciprocation with the back of the passenger only in a direction toward and away from said seat,
- said back support having its natural frequency at least 1.3 times the natural frequency of said seat when bearing passengers of all weights so that said back support follows the oscillating motion of the back of the passenger with the same amplitude as the back of the passenger when the back of the passenger is subjected to vibrations caused by bumps in a road over which the vehicle seat travels.
