Abstract:
A ventilated vehicle seat includes a vent panel underlying an air permeable trim cover. The vent panel includes a vent that is closed to block air flow when the seat is unoccupied and open to permit air flow when an occupant is on the seat. Opening and closing of the vent is actuated by the weight of the seat occupant. Multiple openings can be spaced along the vent so that forced air flows primarily through vent openings directly alongside the legs or torso of the seat occupant. An effective passive vent panel can be easily made from a sheet of polymeric material with a series of elongated slits cut through the sheet.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle seat comprising a seat bottom and a seat back, at least one of the seat bottom or the seat back comprising:\n an air permeable trim cover; and a vent panel underlying the trim cover and comprising a vent having an opening with a variable size that is greater when the seat is in a loaded condition than when the seat is in an unloaded condition, whereby, in the presence of a pressure differential across the vent panel, air flow through the vent is greater in the loaded condition than in the unloaded condition.
