Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the case of the above-mentioned seat with table function, the support structure of the known type cannot extend over the entire backrest, ie the vertical part of the seat, since this would interfere with the additional articulation axis provided in the backrest
Therefore, it does not provide continuous comfort along the entire backrest

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Figure 1 shows an articulated support structure 2 integrated in a seat frame with a table function. Typically, the seat frame of a seat with table function is configured to allow the upper portion of the seat back to pivot to a forward direction so that the rear surface of the backrest reaches a substantially horizontal position and can be used as a table. The support structure can also be designed as a suspension mat or pad. The support structure is particularly suitable for providing support for seat trim. The seat can be configured in particular as a motor vehicle seat.

[0020] The support structure 2 comprises a first part 2a and a second part 2b. The first part 2a and the second part 2b are connected so as to be able to pivot each other about a transverse axis. As used herein, transverse refers to the direction extending from left to right in FIG. 1 in the plane of the support structure 2, while longitudinal refers to the direction extending from the bottom to ...

Abstract

In a seat with a table function, an upper portion of the backrest can be pivoted forward so as to bring a back surface of the backrest into a horizontal position so that it can be used as a table. A support structure (2) in the form of an articulated suspension is provided which provides support for upholstery of the seat and at the same time also gives the necessary freedom to the backrest to be pivoted forward. The support structure (2) comprises a first portion (2a) and a second portion (2b) which are connected so as to be pivotable with respect to each other. Both the first portion (2a) and the second portion (2b) are essentially formed of a wire framework consisting of a pair of lateral side wires (4a, 4b) and transverse wires (8a, 8b) extending between the lateral side wires (4a, 4b).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a support structure for a seat having a table function. In particular, the invention relates to a support structure integrated within the seat frame forming an articulated suspension providing load-bearing support for the seat trim. Background technique [0002] It is known to provide a seat with a table function by providing the seat back with a hinge axis so that the upper part of the seat back can pivot forward and then bring the rear surface of the back into a horizontal position for use as a table. This hinge axis usually extends parallel to the seat at some point above the seat so that the table has the proper height. This can be found, for example, in US Patent Publication US2004 / 0183353 A1, which relates to a seat that can be folded into a position where the rear surface of the backrest is used as a table. Such seats are especially suitable for use in automobiles. [0003] British Patent Publication GB 2 342 287 A di...
