Seat plate
First Claim
1. A seat plate in a seat, for supporting the pelvis of a person sitting on the seat, the seat plate being formed on its upper side with two raised, scythe-like ridges which are symmetrically located about a longitudinal center line, one on each side of the center line, each ridge including a substantially transverse ridge portion which outwardly curves slightly backwards and tapers into a basic plane for the seat plate, each ridge also including a substantially longitudinal ridge portion which backwardly curves slightly outwards and tapers into the basic plane for the seat plate, the ridges being contoured to support the seat bone protuberances of the pelvis substantially on their forward and inner side.

Abstract
Seat plate (10) for supporting the pelvis of a person sitting in a seat (2), e.g. a seat in a vehicle. Known seat implementations only give limited support in a horizontal direction. This causes a noticeable problem in vehicle seats, since a person sitting on one is subjected to accelerations and retardations in both longitudinal and transverse directions. The muscles which are activated in such cases become tired relatively quickly, often resulting in that an incorrect sitting attitude is assumed which can give rise to skew loads as well as accelerating and amplifying the sense of tiredness and soreness. The invention relates to a seat plate (10) for positioning the pelvis of a sitting person so that no notable muscular work is required for maintaiing a correct sitting attitude. The seat plate (10) is thus formed with two raised, scythe-like ridges (11) each including a forward transverse ridge portion (13) and a longitudinal ridge portion (14) extending backwords from the transverse portion (13). Valleys (16), formed between the ridge portions (13,14), position both seat bone protutuberances of the pelvis against gliding forwards as well as laterally.
