Abstract:
1. A noise-reducing or vibration-damping support system for a pump ( 1 ) for a vehicle seat, said pump ( 1 ) responsive to activation by a pressurized fluid medium provided by a pressure supply line ( 3 ), said pump ( 1 ) configured for operating seat cushion adjusters or seat massage systems in a vehicle seat frame structure, wherein the pump ( 1 ) is electrically coupled to an electrical supply line ( 2 ) and fluidly coupled to said pressure supply line ( 3 ), said pressure supply line ( 3 ) including a first pressure supply line segment and a second pressure supply line segment, wherein the pump ( 1 ) is designed without a soundproofing enclosure and wherein at least one noise-reducing or vibration-damping coupling device ( 4 . 1 ; 4 . 2 ) suspending and supporting said pump ( 1 ) is provided, wherein said at least one noise-reducing or vibration damping coupling device ( 4 . 1 ; 4 . 2 ) is attached to the vehicle seat frame structure, said noise-reducing or vibration-damping support system characterized in that a first noise-reducing or vibration-damping coupling device ( 4 . 1 ) from among said at least one noise-reducing or vibration damping coupling device ( 4 . 1 ; 4 . 2 ) is fluidly coupled directly between said first and said second pressure supply line segments ( 3 ) and configured to form an integral part of said pressure supply line ( 3 ) carrying said pressurized fluid medium to said pump ( 1 ).
