Title:
LATERAL VIBRATION ISOLATOR MECHANISM FOR VEHICLE SEAT BACK
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2022145668
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a vehicle seat.SOLUTION: A vehicle seat includes a first seat component such as a seat pan or seat frame, and a second seat component such as a seat back. The first seat component is rotatably coupled to the second seat component by a rotatable coupling, and a laterally oriented vibration isolator is positioned between the first seat component and the second seat component at the rotatable coupling. Transmission of vibration from the first seat component to the second seat component through the rotatable coupling is suppressed by the vibration isolator. In some cases, the vibration isolator is a quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) isolator.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
