Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A thermally conductive trim cover is provided for use on a seat assembly. The trim cover comprises a layer of leather material having a top surface and a bottom surface and thermally conductive particles embedded in the leather material between the top and bottom surface for dispersing heat therethrough.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A thermally conductive trim cover adapted for use on a seat assembly, said trim cover comprising a layer of leather material having a top surface and a bottom surface and thermally conductive particles embedded in said leather material between said top and bottom surface for dispersing heat therethrough. 2. The thermally conductive trim cover as set forth in claim 1 wherein the thermally conductive particles include graphite embedded is said leather material and spaced apart between said top and bottom surface. 3. The thermally conductive trim cover as set forth in claim 2 wherein the thermally conductive particles are selected from the group consisting of graphite, graphene, aluminum, aluminum oxide, silver, copper, or carbon nanotubes. 4. A seat assembly for use in an automotive vehicle, said seat assembly comprising: a resilient cellular foam pad for supporting an occupant on said seat assembly; a trim cover covering said foam pad; a heating and cooling mechanism positioned between said foam pad and said trim cover for selectively providing thermal effects to said seat assembly; and said trim cover comprising a layer of leather material having a top surface and a bottom surface and thermally conductive particles embedded in said leather material between said top and bottom surface for dispersing heat from said heating and cooling mechanism through said trim cover, a layer of cellular foam padding having a top surface and a bottom surface; and a plurality of thermally conductive materials embedded in said foam padding and extending continuously between said top surface and said bottom surface to transmit thermal energy through said foam padding between said top and bottom surfaces. 5. The seat assembly as set forth in claim 4 wherein the thermally conductive particles include graphite embedded is said leather material and spaced apart between said top and bottom surface. 6. The seat assembly as set forth in claim 5 wherein the thermally conductive particles are selected from the group consisting of graphite, graphene, aluminum, aluminum oxide, silver, copper, or carbon nanotubes.
