Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Abstandsgewirke zur Auf­ polsterung von Fahrzeugsitzen, das zwei parallele Gewirke­ lagen hat, die über Abstandsfäden miteinander verbunden sind. Derartige Abstandsgewirke werden zur Aufpolsterung der Sitze und auch zur Verkleidung von Türen und Dach­ himmel von Fahrzeugen zunehmend eingesetzt. Neben dem gewünschten Polstereffekt haben sie den Vorteil, daß sie gut vorformbar sind und so hergestellt werden können, daß kein gesonderter Bezugstoff aufzuspannen ist. Entweder wird die obere Gewirkelage als gebrauchsfertiger Dekor­ stoff ausgebildet oder mit einem solchen Dekorstoff kaschiert.The invention relates to a spacer fabric for Upholstery of vehicle seats, the two parallel knitted fabrics lay, which are connected by spacer threads are. Spacer fabrics of this type are used for padding of the seats and also for covering doors and roof sky increasingly used by vehicles. Next to the desired cushion effect they have the advantage that they are easy to preform and can be manufactured in such a way that there is no separate cover fabric to be stretched. Either the top layer of knitted fabric becomes a ready-to-use decor fabric formed or with such a decorative fabric concealed.

Bei Fahrzeugsitzen, die mit einer Sitzheizung ausgestattet werden sollen, ist es erforderlich, die als Heizdrähte wirkenden elektrischen Leiter in engen Kontakt mit der Sitzoberfläche, d. h. mit dem Bezugstoff, zu bringen. Bei Abstandgewirken der eingangs genannten Art ist es in diesem Zusammenhang üblich, ein Netz oder ein Gitter von untereinander leitend verbundenen Heizdrähten auf die Rückseite des Abstandsgewirkes aufzubringen und diese zu einem festen Verbund zu verkleben. Dies stellt einen kostenintensiven Arbeitsschritt dar, bei dem in grund­ sätzlich unerwünschter Weise Klebemittel zum Einsatz kommen.For vehicle seats equipped with seat heating to be, it is necessary to use the as heating wires acting electrical conductor in close contact with the Seat surface, d. H. with the upholstery. At Spacer fabrics of the type mentioned at the beginning are in common in this context, a network or a grid of interconnected heating wires on the Apply the back of the spacer fabric and this too to glue a firm bond. This represents one cost-intensive work step, in which basically additionally undesirable way of using adhesives come.

Hiervon ausgehend ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Abstandsgewirke der genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß die Herstellung vereinfacht wird, die Kosten gesenkt werden können und ungeachtet dessen die Funktion uneingeschränkt erhalten bleibt. Die Lösung hier­ für besteht darin, daß zumindest eine der Gewirkelagen eingewirkte Leiterfäden umfaßt, die miteinander leitend verbunden sind und zumindest einen Anschlußkontakt zur Verbindung mit einer elektrischen Spannungsquelle aufwei­ sen.Based on this, it is the task of the present one Invention, a spacer fabric of the type mentioned further that the production is simplified, the Costs can be reduced and regardless of that  Function remains intact. The solution here for is that at least one of the knitted layers knitted conductor threads includes which are conductive to each other are connected and at least one connection contact for Connection to an electrical voltage source sen.

Gewirke der erfindungsgemäßen Art sind auf Wirk- und Raschelmaschinen, mit denen Abstandsgewirke hergestellt werden können, nach geeigneter Anpassung oder Abänderung der Maschinen zu erzeugen. Geeignete Leiterfäden können z. B. aus Kupfer, mit einem Durchmesser von 0,5 bis 0,8 mm bestehen. Mit dem Wirkvorgang entsteht das weitgehend fertige Produkt. Aufgrund des geringen Kostenaufwandes können hiermit beispielsweise sämtliche Sitze einer Serie für die Ausstattung mit einer Sitzheizung vorbereitet werden, auch wenn diese letztlich nicht bei allen Sitzen der Serie angeschlossen wird. Werden die Leiterfäden so verwirkt, daß sie zumindest in einem bestimmten Punkt leitenden Kontakt miteinander haben, genügt es, wenn ein Anschlußkontakt an einem der Leiterfäden angebracht wird. Verlaufen die Leiterfäden zueinander parallel, ohne sich zu berühren, ist es sinnvoll, einen querverlaufenden, die Leiterfäden kreuzenden Anschlußleiter einzuwirken oder auf das fertige Gewirke aufzubringen, über den dann die Ver­ bindung mit einer elektrischen Spannungsquelle hergestellt werden kann. In günstiger Weise kann ein gleichartiger Massefaden eingewirkt oder aufgebracht werden, der über einen Massekontakt mit der elektrischen Fahrzeugmasse verbunden werden kann, insbesondere mit metallischen Tei­ len des Sitzgestells des Fahrzeugsitzes. Knitted fabrics of the type according to the invention are knitted and Raschel machines with which spacer fabrics are produced after appropriate adjustment or modification of the machines. Suitable conductor threads can e.g. B. made of copper, with a diameter of 0.5 to 0.8 mm consist. This largely arises with the knitting process finished product. Because of the low cost can, for example, all seats in a series prepared for the equipment with seat heating , even if this does not ultimately apply to all seats the series is connected. Will the conductor threads be like this forfeited them at least in one point have conductive contact with each other, it is sufficient if a Connection contact is attached to one of the conductor threads. Do the conductor threads run parallel to each other without themselves to touch it makes sense to run a cross that Interacting or crossing connecting conductors to apply the finished knitted fabric, via which the Ver bond with an electrical voltage source can be. Conveniently, a similar one Bulk thread are knitted or applied, the over a ground contact with the electrical vehicle ground can be connected, especially with metallic parts len the seat frame of the vehicle seat.  

Um ein gleichmäßiges Erwärmen der Sitzfläche zu ermög­ lichen, kann nach einer günstigen Ausgestaltungsform ein mäanderförmiger Verlauf der im Gewirke längsverlaufenden Leiterfäden vorgesehen sein, wobei die Schleifen der Mäander ineinandergreifen, so daß die ganze Fläche mit einem dichten Bild von Heizfäden überzogen ist.To enable the seat to heat up evenly Lichen, can after a favorable embodiment meandering course of those running longitudinally in the knitted fabric Conductor threads can be provided, the loops of Intertwine meanders so that the whole surface with is covered with a dense picture of filaments.

Bevorzugt werden die Leiterfäden in der von der Sitzober­ fläche abgewandten Gewirkelage eingearbeitet. Dies ver­ meidet eine übermäßige Aufheizung der Sitzfläche und ver­ hindert eine Beschädigung ihrer Isolierung.The conductor threads are preferred in that of the seat upper Integrated knitted fabric facing away from the surface. This ver avoids excessive heating of the seat and ver prevents damage to their insulation.

Die der Sitzoberfläche zugewandte Gewirkelage kann wie bereits eingangs erwähnt das fertige textile Erzeugnis für die Sitzoberfläche darstellen. Die Abstandsfäden können aus elastischem oder weitgehend flexiblen Fadenmaterial bestehen.The knitted fabric facing the seat surface can be like The finished textile product for represent the seat surface. The spacer threads can made of elastic or largely flexible thread material consist.

Das Fadenmaterial der Gewirkelagen kann bevorzugt Polyester mit einem hohen Schmelzpunkt sein, der bei­ spielsweise bei 240°C liegen kann. Dies ermöglicht es, einen Anschlußleiter bzw. einen Masseleiter mit den dünnen Leiterfäden zu verschweißen, ohne daß das Gewirke Schaden nimmt. Zumindest die Leiterfäden, ggfs. auch der Anschluß­ leiter und der Masseleiter können mit einer Isolierung versehen sein, die an den gegenseitigen Verbindungsstellen unterbrochen ist; letzteres kann beim gegenseitigen Ver­ schweißen zustandekommen. Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungs­ beispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt.The thread material of the knitted layers can be preferred Polyester with a high melting point, which at for example, can be at 240 ° C. This enables a connecting conductor or a ground conductor with the thin ones Welding conductor threads without damaging the knitted fabric takes. At least the conductor threads, possibly also the connection The conductor and the ground conductor can be insulated be provided at the mutual junctions is interrupted; the latter can in mutual Ver welding come about. A preferred execution example of the invention is shown in the drawings.
