Tuned vibration absorbing system for a seat system

摘要

A tuned vibration absorbing system ( 12 ) for a seat system ( 10 ) includes a flexible extension member ( 32 ) that is coupled to the seat system ( 10 ). A suspended element ( 34 ) is coupled to the flexible extension member ( 32 ). The flexible extension member ( 32 ) and the suspended element ( 34 ) are configured to absorb vibration within the seat system ( 10 ). A method of designing and manufacturing a seat system ( 10 ) includes designing the tuned vibration absorbing system ( 12 ) with the flexible extension member ( 32 ) and the suspended element ( 34 ) to absorb vibration within the seat system ( 10 ), which is then manufactured and coupled to the seat system ( 10 ).
