The seat of a modern car is a sophisticated technical system designed to ensure the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers. The design of the seats is constantly being improved.
The frame serves as the seat base. It is made of high strength steel. Provides longitudinal movement of the seat frame along special guides. Movement can be carried out manually or using an electric drive. On the frame is a cushion and seat back.
The seat cushion has a special shape that prevents the person from slipping under the seat belts during heavy braking. The seat back is hinged to the pillow. The back can be both integral, and compound. The height of the backrest is proportional to the size of the average person, which results in better support for the shoulders. On the cushion and back there are side bolsters that ensure a tight fit for a person.
The cushion and backrest have a flaky structure. On the frame there are springs, which are covered with foamed filler - polyurethane foam. The top seat covers the upholstery. Various materials are used as upholstery: fabric (upholstery, velor, etc.), artificial leather (vinyl, alcantara, etc.), genuine leather.
Seat upholstery will be made of both homogeneous materials and combined (various fabrics, fabric - natural leather, alcantara - genuine leather, etc.) Most seats are made from durable, inexpensive upholstery fabric.
The car seat can have various position adjustments:
longitudinal movement;
vertical movement;
back angle;
angle of inclination of the upper part of the back ( for composite backs );
cushion angle;
pillow departure;
height and reach of lumbar support;
amount of lateral support;
folding seats ( including the front passenger seat ).
Seat adjustments can be mechanical, electric, pneumatic, or a combined (for example, pneumatic) drive. Mechanical adjustments are made using a lever or adjusting wheel, electric (pneumatic) using a switch.
Lumbar support seats designed to reduce the load on the back muscles when moving. Lumbar support is a roller located in the back of the seat. The roller can be moved in height and in the longitudinal direction.
Ahead of the rest of the planet in terms of car seat construction is Mercedes-Benz. Its modern multi-contour seats are equipped with adjustable air chambers, which allows to adapt the parameters of the seat in accordance with the individual anatomical features of a person and his requirements for comfort.
