Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
For the purpose of simplified production of a motor vehicle seat which can be used in a versatile manner, with a seat part, a backrest and a headrest, the seat part and/or the backrest and/or the headrest have or has a number of chambers which are produced additively from an elastic material, particularly preferably silicone and/or a polyurethane, and which are in each case designed to be filled at least temporarily with a fluid.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A motor vehicle seat, comprising: a seat part; a backrest; and a headrest, wherein the seat part, the backrest and/or the headrest has a number of chambers which are additively produced from an elastic material and, configured to be filled at least temporarily with a fluid, the elastic material is a silicone and/or a polyurethane, and the silicone and/or the polyurethane, at discrete positions, contains at least one granulate additive. 2. The motor vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein at least one web is produced during the additive production of the chambers and connects at least two adjacent chambers. 3. The motor vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a foam part which, during the additive production of the chambers, is provided to be connected to at least a proportion of the chambers. 4. The motor vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the silicone and/or the polyurethane at discrete positions has different material thicknesses and/or material densities. 5. The motor vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the silicone and/or the polyurethane at discrete positions is configured so as not to be fluid-tight. 6. The motor vehicle seat according to claim 1 , further comprising: means for conducting an electric current, said electric current conducting means being situated in or next to at least one chamber. 7. The motor vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein at least one chamber is configured as an airbag. 8. A method of producing a motor vehicle seat, the method comprising: additively manufacturing from an elastic material a number of chambers of at least one of a seat part, back rest or headrest of the motor vehicle seat, wherein the number of chambers is configured to be filled at least temporarily with a fluid, wherein the elastic material is a silicone and/or a polyurethane, and the silicone and/or the polyurethane, at discrete positions, contains at least one granulate additive. 9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein at least one web is produced during the additive manufacturing of the chambers and connects at least two adjacent chambers. 10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein a foam part which, during the additive manufacturing of the chambers, is provided to be connected to at least a proportion of the chambers. 11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the silicone and/or the polyurethane at discrete positions has different material thicknesses and/or material densities. 12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the silicone and/or the polyurethane at discrete positions is configured so as not to be fluid-tight. 13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein an electric current conductor is situated in or next to at least one chamber. 14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein at least one chamber is configured as an airbag.
