  • Patent number: 10889212
    Abstract: Disclosed is a ventilation mat for vehicles in which at least one exhaust hole configured to be spaced apart from a channel of a ventilation mat of a seat back and communicate with a covering layer is formed through the ventilation mat so as to form an exhaust air circulation structure to uniformly maintain ventilation performance of the seat back regardless of physical characteristics of a passenger seated on a seating part of the seat back. Therefore, through the exhaust air circulation structure, the ventilation mat for vehicles consistently inhales cooling air in a vehicle when the passenger is seated on the ventilation seat, and thus lowers the temperature of the seating part to improve passenger's thermal comfort.
