  • Structural component, seat component and vehicle seat
    Patent number: 11975642
    Abstract: A kinetic structural component may have a flexible structure having at least one degree of freedom. The flexible structure can be moved between a compressed position and an expanded position or vice versa. The flexible structure may have at least one substructure which is configured, when said flexible structure is in the expanded position, to expand to form a curve or an arc and/or linearly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 1, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024
    Assignee: Adient US LLC

  • Structural component, seat component and seat
    Patent number: 11904750
    Abstract: A structural component may have a carrier structure and a substructure arranged on the carrier structure and having a variable contour. The substructure may have an adjustment mechanism with a plurality of adjustment elements. The adjustment mechanism may be configured to adjust the adjustment elements between a compressed position and an expanded position in order to vary the contour.

  • Method and device for arranging graphical design elements on a seat cover of a vehicle seat
    Patent number: 10347036
    Abstract: A method, for arranging graphical design elements on a seat cover (1) of a vehicle seat, includes creating a three-dimensional seat cover model (2) having at least two three-dimensional cut models (2.1.1 to 2.1.7) connected by at least one seam (N) and visualizing the three-dimensional seat cover model (2) by a computer-assisted design tool (CAD) and positioning at least one graphical design element (G) on at least one cut part (1.1.1 to 1.1.7) with a drawing tool (ZW). An image of a graphic design element (G) is displayed on the three-dimensional seat cover model (2) in accordance with a UV transformation (UVT) of a corresponding cut model (2.1.1 to 2.1.7) with a texture display tool (TW) connected to the computer-assisted design tool (CAD).
