Abstract: A seat frame for use in a vehicle having a first seat frame member and a second seat frame member is provided. At least one of the first seat frame member and the second seat frame member has an adhesive positioned thereon. The adhesive is curable by heat generated by a diffused laser beam from a laser welder. A portion of the first seat frame member and a portion of the second seat frame member are positioned adjacent one another, such that a joint is formed and the adhesive is positioned between the portion of the first seat frame member and the portion of the second seat frame member. The seat frame is configured such that the diffused laser beam can be directed at the joint to heat the adhesive and thereby form a bond between the first seat frame member and the second seat frame member.

Abstract: A one-piece seat back frame for use in a vehicle seat assembly including a first side portion, a second side portion, an upper cross portion, a lower cross portion coupled together to form a rectangular unitary frame structure. The seat back frame also includes an inner wall extending from a front surface and an inner edge of the back frame, and an outer wall extending from the front surface and an outer edge of the back frame, thereby forming a channel on the front surface. A plurality of formations are formed in the back frame to enhance the strength and stiffness of the back frame. The seat back frame also includes a plurality of apertures for attaching other seat components, such as a head restraint assembly. The seat back frame is formed from at least one of a monolithic blank, a tailored welded blank, and/or a tailored welded coil.
