Abstract: A method for producing a vehicle interior component includes placing a polymeric cushion blank in a mold having a plurality of apertures and a mold cavity. The method may include the step of passing a first fluid having a first predetermined temperature through at least some of the apertures and through the cushion blank to heat the cushion blank to a compliant, non-liquid state. The method may also include passing a second fluid having a second predetermined temperature lower than the first predetermined temperature through the mold and through the cushion blank to cool cushion blank to a non-compliant state.

Abstract: A clip for a cushion includes an attachment body defining an attachment surface, and a lead member for engaging a cushion including a stranded-mesh material. The lead member may have a curved profile for retaining the clip in the cushion, or include protrusions for engaging the polymer strands of the stranded-mesh material. The attachment surface includes an attachment feature thereon such that components and/or features (such as trim covers or comfort components) may be secured to the cushion via the clip. Thus, a seat assembly includes a cushion having a body of the stranded-mesh material, a feature or component to be connected with the cushion, and a clip engageable with the cushion having the attachment body and lead member, with the component or feature being attachable to the attachment body at the attachment surface.

Abstract: An assembly is provided with a unitary mesh of expanded thermoplastic resin strands with a cavity formed therein. A trim component or a support member is oriented at least partially within the cavity. A weld is formed at least partially along the mesh adjacent to the cavity to retain the trim component or the support member within the cavity.

Abstract: An assembly is provided with a first layer connected to a second layer to form a bladder, with the first layer defining a first aperture therethrough, and one of the first or second layers defining a second aperture therethough. The third layer is connected to the first layer and positioned between the first and second layers within the bladder. The third layer is movable between a first position covering the first aperture, and a second position spaced apart from the first aperture. A seat assembly is also provided.

Abstract: A seat assembly is provided with a seat frame and a seat support. A plurality of linear actuators or a camshaft are supported on the frame and oriented toward the seat support surface to each provide a localized percussive massage upon the seated occupant. Alternatively, a guide is supported upon the seat frame. A plurality of massage plates is provided on the guide. A plurality of massage nodes is each provided on one of the plurality of massage plates so that compression upon each massage plate flexes a region of each massage plate to extend each massage node forward to provide a localized massage upon the seated occupant.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a first frame with a guide member extending outwardly along a first axis. A second frame has a second guide member extending outwardly. One of the first and second guide members is received in translation along the first axis by the other of the first and second guide members to connect the second frame to the first frame. A first locking element is engaged to couple the first frame to the second frame and limit translational movement of the first frame relative to the second frame. A method of assembling a seat assembly is also provided.
