CAR SEAT CUSHIONS.

Car seats are not really very comfortable to sit on. Most manufacturers focus on durability rather than comfort so it can get very tiring when driving or just taking a ride. This comfort problem can be addressed by using car seat cushions-ergonomic cushions designed specifically for the seats of cars. Their main function is to remove or alleviate the stress caused by prolonged sitting. The cushions allow drivers and passengers to sit in the position they are most comfortable in.

There are many designs for car seat cushions. The most common are those which are simply put on top of the seats and support the entire back and butt. Many are contoured to provide additional support. The common material used for this kind of cushion is leather stuffed with foam, which is resistant to scratching. Other cushions of this type include those which have beads or battery-operated massagers for added comfort.

These cushions are made with special foam and designed with a special contour to adjust to a person's back to give comfort, specially for those extra long trips. Seat installation is made easy by side straps, which secure the cushion onto the seat. It can easily fit with all types of car seats. Some cushions have thermo-sensitive features which radiate heat, as well as vibrating massagers, for instant relief from back pain.

Newer designs of car seat cushions include the inflatable ones which adjust to the driver's movements. These cushions can act as massages and help with promoting proper blood circulation, which is hampered by sitting for long periods of time. These seats support the back, the lumbar area, the butt and the legs so they are very comfortable to use.

Car seat cushions are usually colored to fit the interior of the car. There are leather cushions for an elegant look and there are synthetic ones which can have different prints. There are many designs when it comes to colors and prints so finding the right one for specific cars won't be a problem.

WHAT IS INSIDE THE SEAT CAR

hyeeeeeeee friendddd

this week we like to "gosip2" About  what is inside the seat car?????????

seat car have???????????

 

SPRING SYSTEMS

Once the frame is constructed, a spring system is installed to support the seating area. Furniture manufacturers employ two main types of spring support systems: standard springs, zig zag Springs and eight-way hand tied springs, coil springs. When the spring system is finished with a top layer of padding, it is commonly called the "seat deck

 

CUSHIONS, PILLOWS, PADDING AND FILLS

Once a piece of upholstered furniture has its frame and springs, the next components to be added are the cushions and padding. Seat cushions sit on top of the spring system and seat deck. Back pillows, if present, rest against the back and arms of the piece.

Most cushions are made of a high-density foam core that is then wrapped with either soft polyester, feather and down, or a hypoallergenic down substitute. Dacron (a synthetic) adds resilience so that pillows and seats keep their shape, while the wraps form a soft envelope. Cushions and pillows are usually sewn into cotton cases to ensure smooth upholstering.

Feather and down offer the maximum comfort and softness in cushions and pillows that most people desire and designers prefer. Feather and down back pillows and wrapped seat cushions can always be "fluffed-up" to maintain an attractive look. Feather and down fills and wraps require a little more maintenance than polyester and high density-foam but they have greater comfort, durability and resilience.

FABRICS AND LEATHERS

 

Textiles, a term used in the furniture industry, encompass both fabrics and leathers and the choice of textiles can account for up to 80% of furniture price.

Tightly woven fabrics and blends tend to wear longer than light or loose-weave natural fibers.

Leather is a durable and easy-care natural material that softens and improves with time. To create quality leather, top-grain hides are tanned, processed and dyed to give a certain color or look. Tanning refers to the process in which salts are used to cure the hide and to stabilize its shape. Dyeing refers to infusing the hide with different color dyes.

Aniline dyeing is a high quality process that imparts color but does not disguise the natural character of the hide. Some leathers are further treated with a pattern, texture, or polish.

STANDARDS CAR SEAT FOR TODDLERS

AGE

Infants need to be in a car seat made especially for children 1 year of age. If the child is over the age of 1 but is small and light, it is safest to continue using a seat that matches your child's size.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT

All car seats have a recommended weight range. It is important to follow these guidelines. It is a good idea to keep your child in a car seat until he reaches its maximum weight. This will ensure that he is big enough before moving him to a bigger seat.

FRONT-FACING SEAT

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that "all infants should always ride rear-facing until they are at least 1 year of age and weigh at least 20 pounds." If you can, keep your child rear-facing to the highest weight and height allowed by her car safety seat. Once she has reached these heights and weight limits, she can ride in a forward-facing convertible or toddler seat.

TETHER AND LATCH

 A tether is a strap that attaches to the top of a car seat and then attaches to the car anchor. Tethers help to keep the child's head from moving to far forward in a crash. The LATCH system, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children, has been in place in car seats. Come with lower belts that firmly attach the safety seat to the vehicle seat's anchors. The Latch system makes it possible to secure the car seat without the use of the vehicle's seat belts.

BOOSTER SEATS

A forward-facing seat with a harness should be used until it is outgrown. At around 4 years of age and about 40 to 65 pounds, children can move to a booster seat. They should ride in booster seats until they are at least 8 years old, or 4 feet 9 inches tall.

part 2(Eight points for correct sitting)

1.Press the base of your spine back until it is in contact with the back of the seat. The distance from the edge of the seat to the pedals should be adjusted so that your knees are slightly bent when the pedals are fully depressed. 

2.Press your shoulders back as firmly as possible against the seat back. The angle of

the seat back should be set so that you can reach the steering wheel comfortably with

your elbows slightly bent. Shoulder contact must be maintained when turning the steering

wheel.

3.Set the seat height as high as possible.This ensures a clear view of the

instruments and good all round vision.

 

4.Adjust the seat cushion tilt so that the pedals can be depressed easily. Your thighs should

rest lightly upon the seat cushion, without undue pressure. Check the seat back angle

before moving off.

5.Set the length of the seat so that your thighs are supported to just above your knees. Rule

of thumb: 2 – 3 fingers' width gap between the edge of the seat and the back of your knees.

 

6.The RECARO Airmatic lumbar system is correctly adjusted when your lower spine is

supported in its natural position.

 

7.The side bolsters of the seat should be so close that your upper body is supported comfortably

at the sides without undue pressure

8.The top of the head rest should be set to exactly the same height as the top of your head.

Tilt: the distance to the back of your head should be approx. 2 cm.

comfort and ergonomics (seat) part 1(week 6)

Assalamualaikum

What is ergonomics?...

'the study of how well humans fit and adapt to the physical and cognitive aspects of their work'.

Or in dictionary definition:

"The applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort.

5 aspects of Ergonomics

1. Safety- Designing equipment with safety defenses that aim to prevent accidents and incidents.
2. Comfort- Ergonomic design principles apply to create more user friendly equipment.
3. Ease of use- Ergonomics designs which enable easier operating methods for the operator.
4. Productivity- Applying ergonomics to increase performance and efficiency.
5. Aesthetics- Ergonomics designs applied to create a more artistic and positive environment

what is car seat? 

is the chair used in automobiles. Most car seats are made from inexpensive but durable material in order to withstand as much use as possible.

thanks to Mr Google

To a certain degrees, there are direct relationships between comfort and vehicle safety. All aspects that contribute to a more comfortable drive also help to reduce accidents. It includes:-

•   Comfortable entry and egress from the vehicle
•  The entrance and seat not too low above the road
•  Good adjustable seat
•  Seat back with lumbar support
•  Seat-belt latches on the seat
•  Height adjustment of the upper anchorage point
•  Vertically and horizontally adjustable steering wheels
