Title:
DEVICE REALIZING VARIABLE SEAT TEMPERATURE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006175249
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a device to control temperature of the seat of an occupant.
A seating construction (10) is provided with a plurality of plenums (14) and (20) into which is received temperature conditioned air (5). The air passes through the seat via a plurality of channels (14, 16 and 17) formed in the foam (30) of the seat cushion. The air then migrates through a reticulated foam layer (40) that is itself covered with an air permeable layer of material (42). The reticulated foam (40) and the seat fabric (42) facilitate diffusion of the air from the foam channel conduits. The air is then discharged toward the occupant of the seat to facilitate temperature control around the occupant.
