  • Publication number: 20090008976
    Abstract: A lumbar support to be integrated in a seat frame is proposed, in particular in a seat frame for a motor vehicle seat, the lumbar support comprising a correspondingly bent guide wire (4) onto which a plurality of finger-like support elements (6) made from plastics and extending transversely to the lumbar support are injection moulded. Bracing wires (8, 10) for fastening a seat cover or seat upholstery, as well as a transverse wire (12) for the automatic actuation of a head restraint, can also be attached to the guide wire (4) by overmouldings (9, 11, 13). All plastics components can be made in a single step with the aid of a suitable injection mould.
