Definitions
- the invention relates to a vehicle seat.
- the hot air device is integrated in the air duct and comprises an electric heating element and an axial fan which are arranged one behind the other in the air duct.
- Air sucked in by the axial fan via the air inlet opening on the rear side of the head cushion is guided over the heating element, and the hot air is blown out of the hot air outlet opening directly onto the neck and head region of the seat occupant, with hot air acting directly more on the neck and shoulder region or more on the neck and head region of the seated person, depending on the set height of the head restraint.
- One object of the invention is to improve the hot air heating of the neck and head region of a seat occupant in such a manner that the sensation of coziness felt by seat occupants improved, even for those of differing body size.
- the vehicle seat according to the invention in which the hot air outlet opening is arranged on the lower side of the head cushion, and the intermediate space between head cushion and back rest to the rear is shielded.
- the back of the seated person's head is not directly subjected to hot air; rather, in the neck and head region of the seat occupant, a heat cushion is built up which also extends over the shoulder region.
- a heat cushion of this type imparts to the seat occupant a much greater sensation of warm coziness than is achieved when he or she is directly subjected to hot air, since there are no noticeable air streams or temperature strands in the heat cushion.
- This heat cushion is maintained even in the case of a height-variable head restraint which is set to accommodate the body size of a seat occupant, since the heat cushion is always built up in the intermediate space between head cushion and back rest, and the intermediate space always remains shielded to the rear, regardless of the setting of the head cushion.
- an air-guiding element is arranged in the intermediate space between head cushion and back rest, and is designed so that the hot air flowing out of the hot air outlet opening is deflected toward the neck and head region of the seated person.
- the air-guiding element may either be formed separately and fastened to the upper side of the back rest, or formed integrally with the covering.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a back rest and head restraint of a vehicle seat, with the head restraint and integrated hot air device illustrated in section;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective illustration of back rest and head restraint FIG. 1 ;

- FIG. 5 shows a side view of back rest and partially cut away head restraint with integrated hot air device of a vehicle seat, according to a fourth representative embodiment
- FIG. 6 is a sectional, taken along the line VI-VI in FIG. 5 .
- the vehicle seat part of which is illustrated in a side view in FIG. 1 and in a perspective rear view in FIG. 2 , has, in addition to the seat cushion (not shown), a back rest 11 , a height-adjustable head restraint 12 and a device (hereinafter called a “hot air device”) 13 for heating the neck and head region of a seat occupant 10 ( FIG. 4 ) with hot air.
- the head restraint 12 comprises in a known manner a U-shaped supporting hoop 14 with two parallel supporting rods 141 , 142 ( FIG. 6 ) and a head cushion 15 which is fastened to a transverse part of the supporting hoop 14 that connects the two supporting rods 141 .
- the supporting rods 141 , 142 (of which only the supporting rod 141 can be seen in FIG. 1 ) are guided in a known manner in the back rest 11 such that they can be displaced axially, so that the set height of the head restraint 12 (i.e., the distance of the head cushion 15 from the upper side 111 of the back rest 11 ) can be changed in accordance with the size of the seat occupant 10 .
- An air-guiding duct 16 is formed in the head cushion 15 and has an air inlet opening 17 on the rear side 151 of the head cushion 15 (facing away from the seat occupant 10 ) and a hot air outlet opening 18 arranged on the lower side 152 of the head cushion 15 .
- Air inlet opening 15 and hot air outlet opening 18 are in each case closed by a grille 19 or 20 , a “rosette”.
- the hot air device 13 is integrated in the air-guiding duct 16 and comprises an electric heating element 21 (for example, an electric heating coil) and an axial fan 22 which is preferably designed as a miniature fan. Heating element 21 and axial fan 22 are arranged one behind the other in the air flow direction, with it being possible for the axial fan 22 to be arranged upstream or downstream of the heating element 21 .
- FIG. 1 there is an intermediate space between the lower side 152 of the head cushion 15 and the upper side 111 of the back rest 11 , the height of which varies depends on the height setting of the head restraint 12 .
- This intermediate space is shielded to the rear, (that is, the side facing away from the seat occupant 10 ) by means of a covering 23 which extends on the rear side 151 or 112 of head restraint 12 and back rest 11 from the lower side 152 of the head cushion 15 as far as the upper side 111 of the back rest 11 .
- the covering may also be guided laterally around the supporting rods 141 , 142 , as is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
- the covering 23 has a rear wall 231 which shields the intermediate space to the rear, and two side walls 232 and 233 ( FIGS. 1, 2 and 6 ) which partially laterally cover the intermediate space.

- the covering 23 differs in design taking the height adjustability of the head restraint 12 into consideration:
- the covering 23 is an elastic curtain which is fixed in the manner described above to the head cushion 15 and to the back rest 11 .
- the elastic curtain is stretched to a greater or lesser extent, so that the intermediate space between head cushion 15 and upper side 111 of the back rest 11 is always screened to the rear, and also partially laterally in the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 .
- An air-guiding element 24 which is fastened on the upper side 111 of the back rest 11 is arranged in the intermediate space, within the region enclosed by the covering 23 .
- the air-guiding element 24 which is designed here as a wedge, is arranged so that the hot air flowing out of the hot air outlet opening 18 is deflected toward the neck and head region of the seat occupant 10 .
- the covering 23 is designed as an apron 26 which, on the one hand, is fastened to the lower side 152 of the head cushion 15 and, on the other hand, is clamped on the rear side 112 of the back rest 11 by means of two elastic straps 27 , 28 .

- the air-guiding element 24 ′ for deflecting the hot air flowing out of the hot air outlet opening 18 to the head, neck and shoulder region of the seat occupant 10 is designed as a trough, rather than a wedge. It extends from the upper side 111 of the back rest 11 , through the hot air outlet opening 18 and into the air-guiding duct 16 .
- the vertical length of the air-guiding element 24 ′ is selected such that, at maximum height setting of the head restraint 12 , it still dips into the air-guiding duct 16 . It is fastened on the upper side 111 of the back rest 11 by means of two fastening tabs 30 , 31 which surround the supporting rods 141 , 142 of the head restraint 12 with play.

Description
- This application claims the priority of
German patent document 10 2004 004 387.6, filed 29 Jan. 2004 (PCT International Patent Application PCT/EP2005/000194), the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein. - The invention relates to a vehicle seat.
- In a vehicle seat such as is disclosed in German patent documents DE 101 63 049 A1, DE 101 63 050 A1, and DE 101 63 051 A1, an air duct with an air inlet opening arranged on the rear side of the head cushion (which side faces away from a seat occupant) and a hot air outlet opening arranged on the front side facing the seat occupant, are formed in the head cushion of the head restraint. The hot air device is integrated in the air duct and comprises an electric heating element and an axial fan which are arranged one behind the other in the air duct. Air sucked in by the axial fan via the air inlet opening on the rear side of the head cushion is guided over the heating element, and the hot air is blown out of the hot air outlet opening directly onto the neck and head region of the seat occupant, with hot air acting directly more on the neck and shoulder region or more on the neck and head region of the seated person, depending on the set height of the head restraint.
- One object of the invention is to improve the hot air heating of the neck and head region of a seat occupant in such a manner that the sensation of coziness felt by seat occupants improved, even for those of differing body size.
- This and other objects and advantages are achieved by the vehicle seat according to the invention, in which the hot air outlet opening is arranged on the lower side of the head cushion, and the intermediate space between head cushion and back rest to the rear is shielded. As a result, the back of the seated person's head is not directly subjected to hot air; rather, in the neck and head region of the seat occupant, a heat cushion is built up which also extends over the shoulder region. A heat cushion of this type imparts to the seat occupant a much greater sensation of warm coziness than is achieved when he or she is directly subjected to hot air, since there are no noticeable air streams or temperature strands in the heat cushion. This heat cushion is maintained even in the case of a height-variable head restraint which is set to accommodate the body size of a seat occupant, since the heat cushion is always built up in the intermediate space between head cushion and back rest, and the intermediate space always remains shielded to the rear, regardless of the setting of the head cushion.
- In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, an air-guiding element is arranged in the intermediate space between head cushion and back rest, and is designed so that the hot air flowing out of the hot air outlet opening is deflected toward the neck and head region of the seated person. In this case, the air-guiding element may either be formed separately and fastened to the upper side of the back rest, or formed integrally with the covering.
- Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 6 is a sectional, taken along the line VI-VI inFIG. 5 . - The vehicle seat, part of which is illustrated in a side view in
FIG. 1 and in a perspective rear view inFIG. 2 , has, in addition to the seat cushion (not shown), aback rest 11, a height-adjustable head restraint 12 and a device (hereinafter called a “hot air device”) 13 for heating the neck and head region of a seat occupant 10 (FIG. 4 ) with hot air. Thehead restraint 12 comprises in a known manner a U-shaped supportinghoop 14 with two parallel supportingrods 141, 142 (FIG. 6 ) and ahead cushion 15 which is fastened to a transverse part of the supportinghoop 14 that connects the two supportingrods 141. The supportingrods 141, 142 (of which only the supportingrod 141 can be seen inFIG. 1 ) are guided in a known manner in theback rest 11 such that they can be displaced axially, so that the set height of the head restraint 12 (i.e., the distance of thehead cushion 15 from theupper side 111 of the back rest 11) can be changed in accordance with the size of theseat occupant 10. - An air-guiding
duct 16 is formed in thehead cushion 15 and has an air inlet opening 17 on therear side 151 of the head cushion 15 (facing away from the seat occupant 10) and a hot air outlet opening 18 arranged on thelower side 152 of thehead cushion 15. Air inlet opening 15 and hot air outlet opening 18 are in each case closed by agrille hot air device 13 is integrated in the air-guidingduct 16 and comprises an electric heating element 21 (for example, an electric heating coil) and anaxial fan 22 which is preferably designed as a miniature fan. Heatingelement 21 andaxial fan 22 are arranged one behind the other in the air flow direction, with it being possible for theaxial fan 22 to be arranged upstream or downstream of theheating element 21. - As can be seen clearly in
FIG. 1 , there is an intermediate space between thelower side 152 of thehead cushion 15 and theupper side 111 of theback rest 11, the height of which varies depends on the height setting of thehead restraint 12. This intermediate space is shielded to the rear, (that is, the side facing away from the seat occupant 10) by means of acovering 23 which extends on therear side head restraint 12 andback rest 11 from thelower side 152 of thehead cushion 15 as far as theupper side 111 of theback rest 11. The covering may also be guided laterally around the supportingrods FIGS. 1 and 2 . As a result, thecovering 23 has arear wall 231 which shields the intermediate space to the rear, and twoside walls 232 and 233 (FIGS. 1, 2 and 6) which partially laterally cover the intermediate space. Therear wall 231 and the twoside walls lower side 152 of thehead cushion 15 as far as theupper side 111 of theback rest 11. - The covering 23 differs in design taking the height adjustability of the
head restraint 12 into consideration: - In the embodiment of
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the covering 23 is an elastic curtain which is fixed in the manner described above to thehead cushion 15 and to theback rest 11. During the height adjustment of thehead restraint 12, the elastic curtain is stretched to a greater or lesser extent, so that the intermediate space betweenhead cushion 15 andupper side 111 of theback rest 11 is always screened to the rear, and also partially laterally in the exemplary embodiment ofFIGS. 1 and 2 . An air-guidingelement 24 which is fastened on theupper side 111 of theback rest 11 is arranged in the intermediate space, within the region enclosed by thecovering 23. The air-guidingelement 24, which is designed here as a wedge, is arranged so that the hot air flowing out of the hot air outlet opening 18 is deflected toward the neck and head region of theseat occupant 10. - In the embodiment of
FIG. 3 , thecovering 23 is designed as anapron 26 which, on the one hand, is fastened to thelower side 152 of thehead cushion 15 and, on the other hand, is clamped on therear side 112 of theback rest 11 by means of twoelastic straps apron 26. - In the embodiment (part of which is illustrated in
FIG. 4 ) of a vehicle seat, theback rest 11 has a raised backrest end portion 29 which is an integral part of theback rest 11. The axial depth of the backrest end portion 29, as seen in the longitudinal direction of the seat, is substantially smaller than the axial depth of theback rest 11. The width of the backrest end portion 29, as seen in the transverse direction of the seat, corresponds approximately to the width of thehead cushion 15. The supportinghoop 14 in theback rest 11 is guided in the region of the backrest end portion 29. - The
head cushion 15 is designed so that it overlaps the backrest end portion 29 on its front side facing theseat occupant 10, even when the height of the head restraint is set to the maximum. As a result, the intermediate space formed between thelower side 152 of thehead cushion 15 and theupper side 111 of theback rest 11 is covered by the backrest end portion 29 which takes on the function of the covering 23 inFIGS. 1-3 . In other respects, thehead restraint 12 withhead cushion 15 andhot air device 13 integrated therein is designed identically to thehead restraint 12 inFIG. 1 , and so identical structural elements are provided with the same reference numbers. - In a modification of the
head cushion 15 inFIG. 1 , thehead cushion 15 inFIG. 4 is slightly angled on itslower side 152, so that the normal of the hot air outlet opening 18, which is situated in this angled portion, is set at an acute angle to the vertical and points in the direction of the shoulder region of the seated person. This setting of the normal of the hot air outlet opening 18 obtains the same effect as with the air-guidingelement 24 inFIG. 1 . - In the embodiment of the vehicle seat (illustrated in
FIG. 5 ), the air-guidingelement 24′ for deflecting the hot air flowing out of the hot air outlet opening 18 to the head, neck and shoulder region of theseat occupant 10 is designed as a trough, rather than a wedge. It extends from theupper side 111 of theback rest 11, through the hot air outlet opening 18 and into the air-guidingduct 16. The vertical length of the air-guidingelement 24′ is selected such that, at maximum height setting of thehead restraint 12, it still dips into the air-guidingduct 16. It is fastened on theupper side 111 of theback rest 11 by means of twofastening tabs rods head restraint 12 with play. - The air-guiding
element 24′ at the same time takes on the function of thecovering 23, with the trough base forming therear wall 231 and the trough side walls forming theside walls element 24′ which projects into the air-guidingshaft 16 is open, so that the hot air already partially flows into the air-guidingelement 24′ and flows out via the trough opening, as it is arranged by air-guiding arrows inFIG. 5 . The other trough end which lies opposite the open trough end is closed by an end wall running obliquely from the trough base toward the trough opening. The air-guidingelement 24′ can be seen in cross section inFIG. 6 . - The foregoing disclosure has been set forth merely to illustrate the invention and is not intended to be limiting. Since modifications of the disclosed embodiments incorporating the spirit and substance of the invention may occur to persons skilled in the art, the invention should be construed to include everything within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
