Abstract
A motor-vehicle seat is disclosed with a spring core resting on a subframe and surrounded by a topframe, each topframe portion pointed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle being supported relative to the subframe via a stay preventing floating movements and limiting lateral compression movements. In order to allow retrofitting and to prevent reactions on the topframe under compression movements the stay consists respectively of a foam block which is fixed to the subframe and which is inserted between two springs stretched from the subframe to the topframe and at least partially surrounds these positively.
Claims4
A method of making a seat for motor vehicle passengers, comprising the steps of:
- assembling a seat subframe with a seat topframe by spring means interposed therebetween, said spring means including a plurality of compression coil springs disposed along an edge of the subframe and topframe;
- and
- following said assembling step, pushing a foam block stay in from outside said edge to a position between and partly surrounding coils of two adjacent ones of said coil springs;
- whereby the foam block limits floating movements and lateral compression movements of a motor vehicle seat spring core resting on the subframe and surrounded by the topframe.
