The present invention generally relates to a vehicle seat suspension system, and more particularly to a vehicle seating assembly with a flexible seatback suspension system.
Vehicle seat assemblies typically include a seatback to support a back of an occupant in an upright sitting position and various reclined positions. Similar to other portions of a vehicle seating assembly, seatbacks are commonly designed to support an occupant in the upright sitting position upon acceleration, change in direction, and collision of the vehicle. Accordingly, seatbacks are substantially rigid and sizeable in construction.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a vehicle seat suspension system includes first and second side supports defining a seatback structure. An upper component and a lower component are provided, each including at least two outwardly extending flex members. A passenger support includes a periphery operably coupled to distal ends of the flex members. An external peripheral gap is defined between the passenger support and the seatback structure.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle seat suspension system includes first and second side supports defining a seatback structure. An upper component and a lower component are provided, each including at least two outwardly extending flex members. A passenger support includes a periphery operably coupled to distal ends of the flex members. A removable cover stock is disposed over the upper and lower components. An external peripheral gap is defined between the passenger support and the first and second side supports.
According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a seat suspension system includes a seatback having first and second side supports. A suspension assembly includes outwardly extending flex members. A passenger support is operably coupled with the suspension assembly. An external peripheral gap is defined between the passenger support and the first and second side supports.
These and other aspects, objects, and features of the present invention will be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art upon studying the following specification, claims, and appended drawings.

Ultimately, the flex members 20 shown in the various embodiments provide localized deflection for a passenger that corresponds with the passenger's shifts in weight, shoulder movements, and other common passenger movements that may occur during operation of the vehicle 25 or other occurrences when the passenger is seated in the seating assembly 24. The localized deflection of the flex members 20 may be enhanced or customized for additional compliance to a passenger's size by using flex members 20 with varied thickness, shaped, and overall construction, such as removing and replacing the finger shaped flex members 20A of the additional embodiment, as shown in the A suffixed figures, with more rigid or more resilient flex members 20A. The localized deflection and overall compliance provided by the flex members 20, in conjunction with the entire suspension system 10, enhances the ride and comfort experienced by a passenger and provides the desired support characteristics.
It will be understood by one having ordinary skill in the art that construction of the described invention and other components is not limited to any specific material. Other exemplary embodiments of the invention disclosed herein may be formed from a wide variety of materials, unless described otherwise herein.
For purposes of this disclosure, the term “coupled” (in all of its forms, couple, coupling, coupled, etc.) generally means the joining of two components (electrical or mechanical) directly or indirectly to one another. Such joining may be stationary in nature or movable in nature. Such joining may be achieved with the two components (electrical or mechanical) and any additional intermediate members being integrally formed as a single unitary body with one another or with the two components. Such joining may be permanent in nature or may be removable or releasable in nature unless otherwise stated.
It is also important to note that the construction and arrangement of the elements of the invention as shown in the exemplary embodiments is illustrative only. Although only a few embodiments of the present innovations have been described in detail in this disclosure, those skilled in the art who review this disclosure will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible (e.g., variations in sizes, dimensions, structures, shapes and proportions of the various elements, values of parameters, mounting arrangements, use of materials, colors, orientations, etc.) without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the subject matter recited. For example, elements shown as integrally formed may be constructed of multiple parts or elements shown as multiple parts may be integrally formed, the operation of the interfaces may be reversed or otherwise varied, the length or width of the structures and/or members or connector or other elements of the system may be varied, the nature or number of adjustment positions provided between the elements may be varied. It should be noted that the elements and/or assemblies of the system may be constructed from any of a wide variety of materials that provide sufficient strength or durability, in any of a wide variety of colors, textures, and combinations. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present innovations. Other substitutions, modifications, changes, and omissions may be made in the design, operating conditions, and arrangement of the desired and other exemplary embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present innovations.
It will be understood that any described processes or steps within described processes may be combined with other disclosed processes or steps to form structures within the scope of the present invention. The exemplary structures and processes disclosed herein are for illustrative purposes and are not to be construed as limiting.
It is also to be understood that variations and modifications can be made on the aforementioned structures and methods without departing from the concepts of the present invention, and further it is to be understood that such concepts are intended to be covered by the following claims unless these claims by their language expressly state otherwise.
This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/749,561 (now U.S. Pat. No. 9,409,504), filed on Jan. 24, 2013, entitled “FLEXIBLE SEATBACK SYSTEM,” the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
