A covering element intended to be fastened to a frame and having an inner surface and an outer surface. The covering element includes, from the inner surface to the outer surface, at least one foam layer, a skin made of synthetic material, and a paint layer. The covering element further includes at least one fastening element for fastening the covering element to the frame, the fastening element having at least one reinforcing portion that extends into the foam layer and is overmolded by the foam layer and at least one fastening portion that projects out of the inner surface of the foam layer.

The present invention relates to a motor vehicle seat slide ( 1 ) comprising an upper, movable male profile ( 2 ) and a lower female profile ( 3 ), comprising a base wall ( 30 ), and a position sensor ( 4 ) attached to the male profile ( 2 ) and housed at least partially in an internal space (EI) delimited between the male profile ( 2 ) and the female profile ( 3 ), which position sensor is configured to detect a movement between the male profile and the female profile when the slide slides, said position sensor ( 4 ) being configured to be inserted into the internal space (EI) through a mounting window (FE 1 ) in the first side wall ( 23 ), and in a transverse insertion direction (Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the slide, said position sensor ( 4 ) comprises a sensor body ( 40 ), as well as a spring locking member ( 5 ) which is made of metal and hingedly connected to the sensor body ( 40 ).

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a seat cushion comprising: providing a cushion comprising a 3D entanglement of continuous thermoplastic fibers, arranged irregularly or randomly forming loops heat-sealed together and hot-pressing of the 3D entanglement of fibers into one or more local 3D entanglement areas so as to obtain one or more densified, stiffened local areas of the cushion, the local area(s) being configured to serve as a fastening area. The present disclosure also relates to a cushion obtained according to the manufacturing method, and a seat comprising such a cushion and a cap attached to the densified, stiffened local area(s).

A torque transmission device that includes: a hub rotatable about an axis of rotation, the hub having an orifice delimited by an inner surface bearing axial hub splines distributed circumferentially around the axis of rotation; and a shaft having a shaft end portion delimited by an outer surface bearing shaft splines, the shaft splines cooperating with the hub splines to transmit torque. The shaft end portion is intended to be inserted into the orifice through an open axial end of said orifice. Each hub spline terminates toward the open axial end in a point and two chamfers arranged on either side of the point.

A control system for a motor vehicle seat comprising a control device comprising a control shaft and a support plate comprising at least one fastening hole, wherein the control shaft is configured to rotate about a control axis relative to the support plate, at least one fastening element, wherein the fastening element comprises a fastening head, an intermediate portion and a rod portion, the fastening head comprises a rim, the intermediate portion has a non-circular section and the fastening hole has a shape complementary to the intermediate portion, a flange comprising a holding hole, the rod portion extending through the holding hole, and a locking element cooperating with the rod portion.

A method for detecting a rotation of part of the trunk of an occupant seated on a seat of a vehicle. The method includes: triggering a measurement of capacitance values; successively determining, from the measured capacitance values, a first stationary posture of the occupant during a first stationary period, a movement of part of the trunk of the occupant, and a second stationary posture of the occupant during a second stationary period; and calculating, for each capacitive sensor, the variation between the capacitance values measured during the first stationary period and the capacitance values measured during the second stationary period. If the variation calculated for the capacitive sensors is within ranges of capacitance values defined for the capacitive sensors, generating a detection signal.

The present disclosure relates to a cover system configured to wrap a backrest frame, and comprising a cover comprising: a first and a second closed tubular sections, arranged on a lower part of the cover, configured to be separated from each other in the transverse direction, an intermediate section of cover, arranged on an upper part of the cover connecting the closed tubular sections, comprising an internal space configured to house an upper transverse part of the frame, communicating, on either side of the lateral recess, respectively with a first internal space and with a second internal space configured respectively to house lateral posts, a central panel laterally attached to the closed tubular sections and to the intermediate section of the cover.

A suspension membrane of a vehicle seat support element includes a fabric made of plastic material extending between a first face and a second face and having at least a first layer made of plastic material that has an outer face forming the first face and an inner face opposite the outer face, and a second layer made of plastic material that has an outer face forming the second face and an inner face opposite the outer face, the inner faces of the first layer and of the second layer being applied against one another. The suspension membrane further includes at least one electrical circuit having at least one electrical component and a power lead to the component, extending between a part of the inner faces of the first layer and of the second layer.

A method and a system for assisting in correcting the posture of an occupant of a vehicle seat, comprising: a. collecting the posture of the occupant of the seat via sensors; b. calculating comfort indices; c. comparing them with reference values; d. generating a first alert signal intended for a first alert device when a reference value is reached; and e. generating a second alert signal intended for first and/or second alert devices when another reference value is reached.

A support element having a body defining an outer surface and a rest element mounted in an adjustable manner on the body via an adjustment device that includes a guide element extending over the outer surface of the body. The guide element has a band fastened to the outer surface of the body, the adjustment device including a sliding element integral with the rest element, and being mounted in sliding contact on the band and having a free end extending between the band and the outer surface so as to allow adjustment of the position of the rest element relative to the body by sliding the sliding element on the guide element.
