  • Patent number: 10072690
    Abstract: A hybrid component is formed by a profiled component of a first material, which is materially bonded in certain sections to a component made of a second material, and is connected by a form-fit and/or force-fit connection outside the sections with a material bond. This creates sections that relieve the strains resulting from differing thermal expansion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9283737
    Abstract: In a joining process for the cohesive connection of at least two components, a profile component is cohesively connected to a component of areal form. Formed into the component of areal form is at least one stamped portion, the height of which is formed so as to correspond to a minimum layer thickness of the cohesive connection.

  • Publication number: 20140015293
    Abstract: A seat (1), in particular a vehicle seat, is provided with massage functionality. In a seat surface (2) and/or in a backrest (3) and/or in a headrest (4), there is arranged in each case at least one actuation device (5) which is in the form of an artificial muscle and which exerts a massaging action on a seat occupant during operation.

  • Patent number: 8393681
    Abstract: The invention relates to vehicle seat comprising a seat part and to a restraint device and a corresponding method of manufacture. The vehicle seat comprises an anti-submarining restraint device for preventing an occupant from slipping through on the vehicle seat when decelerated due to a crash, said restraint device being settable to a retracted inactive position and said restraint device being settable to an extended active position. The seat part, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, has lateral seat parts on both sides of the seat, a padding defining a seat area and a padding support below said padding. The restraint device is arranged between the padding support and the padding and spaced apart from the lateral parts by means of a locking element provided for locking the restraint device in the active position.
