SEAT ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a support structure and a seat bottom mounted to the support structure. A seatback is coupled to the support structure and is rotatable about a longitudinal axis between a first collision position when applying a first force to the seatback and a second collision position when applying a second force to the seatback. A first energy absorbing member is mounted to the seat bottom for absorbing energy when the seatback rotates to the first collision position. A second energy absorbing member includes a first end coupled to the first energy absorbing member and a second end coupled to the seatback for absorbing energy when the seatback rotates to the second collision position after the first energy absorbing member absorbs energy in the first collision position.
