Abstract: The present invention relates to a cushion mat 1 for integration into an automotive seat, comprising a set of metal wire springs 10, plastic connectors 20, connecting the wire springs 10 with each other to form a cushion mat 1, and at least one pressure sensor 30 directly connected to one of the plastic connectors 20 for providing a seat occupation signal. Further a method for the production of cushion mats 1 for integration into an automotive seat is disclosed, comprising the following steps (a) injection molding of plastic material around a set of metal wire springs 10 to form a cushion mat 1 with plastic connectors 20, wherein the plastic connectors 20 having at least one assembly area 24 for a pressure sensor 30, (b) arranging at least one pressure sensor 30 at the assembly area 24, and (c) connecting the pressure sensor 30 at the assembly area 24.

Abstract: A spine support is provided in particular for the use in a seat of a vehicle with at least one bending element (20) and at least two independent operating elements (41a, 42a, 41b, 42b) to bend the bending element (20), wherein the first operating element (41a, 42a) engages a first part of the bending element (20) to cause first curvature of the spine support and the second bending element (41b, 42b) engages a second part of the bending element (20) to cause a second curvature of the spine support so that the overall curved shape of the spine support is a superposition of the first and second curvature. According to a further aspect, the present invention relates to a spine support, in particular for the use in the seat of a vehicle with at least one bending element (20) and at least one supporting element (30′), wherein the at least one supporting element (30′) is flexibly attached to the at least one bending element (20).
