Patent number: 9421885Abstract: An adjustable seat cushion assembly is disclosed which exhibits a first seat element and a second seat element moveable relative to the first seat element. A cover piece straddles a variable gap between cushion parts of the first and second seat elements. The adjustable seat cushion assembly is configured to draw the cover piece into the gap when the seat cushion assembly is moved from an extended position into a retracted position. A hem is formed with the cover piece in an area between the two cushion parts, and is joined with the second seat element. A link rod extends in the seat width direction of the cover piece and engages into slots at opposite ends.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2014Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Joerg Wiegelmann, Christine Suchy, Guenter Fleckenstein

Patent number: 9211813Abstract: A seat cushion arrangement is provided for a vehicle seat with a first and a second pad region. The first pad region has a first pad cover and the second pad region has a second pad cover. The first and second pad region in a base position of the second pad region are arranged adjacent to one another. A gap is arranged between the first and the second pad region. The second pad region is able to be transferred relative to the first pad region from the base position into a distance position, in which a distance is formed between the first and second pad region, so that the seat cushion arrangement is enlarged in a seat depth. The second pad cover comprises a bridging section, which in the distance position of the second pad region is constructed for bridging the distance.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Joerg Wiegelmann, Guenter Fleckenstein
