Abstract
The present application pertains to a seat pad particularly for motor vehicles seats, with a core portion made of expanded plastics material. The upper side of the core portion facing the seat surface is provided with channel-like grooves, so that the geometry of the remaining core portion allows an optimum distribution of the seat pressure because of the good adaptation to the human anatomy.
Claims8
Seating paddings in particular for vehicle seats, comprising:
- a core part made of plastic foam, wherein said core part's top surface facing a seat surface is interrupted by grooves wherein the grooves are at least partly filled with inserts which are made of a material that is comparatively harder than said core part, wherein the grooves form channel-like grooves and a number of resulting remaining partial surfaces of the core part are geometrically adapted to the human anatomy in the seating area to obtain an optimal seat pressure distribution, wherein two partial surfaces are completely enclosed by the channel-like grooves providing supporting elements to support the human ischial tuberosities.
