  • Suspension anchoring system for a seat
    Patent number: 6722742
    Abstract: A suspension device for use in a vehicle seat includes a frame member and a support member offset from the frame member and a tension member connected to the frame member for stretching tight and contouring a suspension material. The suspension material has a first end for connection with the support member in a second end formed from a stitched loop in the material for connection with the tension member. A method of manufacturing a seat having a seat suspension device includes selecting a frame member and a support member offset from the frame member and a tension member connected to the frame member for receiving a suspension material when the tension member is dislocated from the frame member and connecting the first end of the suspension material to the support member and connecting the tension member to the frame member such that the member is installed in tension and contoured with respect to the frame member.
