MASSAGE DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE SEAT

摘要

The present invention relates to a massage device for a vehicle seat comprising: a linear sequence of inflatable massage cells which may be arranged in succession below a seat cover of the vehicle seat, supply lines and venting lines to and from the massage cells, a compressed air pump connected to the supply lines, a valve arrangement for the selective supply of massage cells with compressed air and for the selective venting of massage cells and a control unit controlling the compressed air pump and the valve arrangement, and that the massage cells are designed such that in the inflated state they are wedge-shaped in cross section in a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction of the linear sequence of the massage cells, wherein the wedge shape of all of the massage cells in the linear sequence is oriented in the same direction.

主权项

1. A massage device for a vehicle seat having a seat cover, said massage device comprising:
a linear sequence of inflatable massage cells arranged in succession and adapted to be disposed below the seat cover of the vehicle seat, supply lines and venting lines to and from the massage cells, a compressed air pump connected to the supply lines, a valve arrangement to selectively supply compressed air to the massage cells and to selectively vent the massage cells, and a control unit controlling the compressed air pump and the valve arrangement, wherein said control unit carries out massage functions by controlling the compressed air pump and the valve arrangement according to predetermined programs or programs set individually by the user to selectively supply and vent the linear sequence of massage cells wherein the massage cells are arranged in the linear sequence and are arranged so as to overlap with one another in a longitudinal direction such that in each pair of successive massage cells a following massage cell and a previous massage cell are partially covering each other, and wherein in an inflated state the massage cells have a wedge-shaped cross section in a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction of the linear sequence of the massage cells, and the wedge shape of all of the massage cells in the linear sequence is oriented in the same direction.
