1. A ventilation system for a climatizable seat comprising:
- at least one flat air flow device including;
an air exchange device;
a spacing device including;
i) a spacer carrier, andii) a plurality of spacers distributed across the spacer carrier and extending from the spacer carrier for keeping an air passage of the ventilation system open;
one or more air movement mechanisms; and
one or more connecting devices connecting the at least one flat air flow device and the one or more air movement mechanisms;
wherein the spacer carrier is at least partially made of a foil;
wherein the plurality of spacers are nub-shaped projections that provide compressive strength to the spacing device; and
wherein the at least one flat air flow device is adapted to be located on a B-side below padding of the climatizable seat.

Abstract
The present invention is drawn to a ventilation system for a “climate object”, in particular all components with which the user of a vehicle may come in contact in a passenger compartment such as, for example, a steering mechanism for a vehicle, a dashboard, an armrest, a door paneling, a seat cover, a heating blanket, a padding, a cover or a seat, all which include at least one air flow device to guide air through the climate object.

12. A climatizable seat comprising:
a ventilation system comprising; at least one flat air flow device including; an air exchange device; a spacing device including; i) a spacer carrier, and ii) a plurality of spacers extending from the spacer carrier for keeping an air passage of the ventilation system open; and an air movement mechanism; wherein the at least one flat air flow device is connected to the air movement mechanism, wherein the spacing device is marginally compressible so that during normal operating loads, the spacing device is reducible in its thickness by 50 percent or less; wherein the spacer carrier is at least partially made of a foil; wherein the plurality of spacers are nub-shaped projections that provide compressive strength to the spacing device; wherein the nub-shaped projections have height of about 3 mm to about 25 mm measured from the spacer carrier to a highest point of each nub-shaped projection; wherein the plurality of spacers are arranged on the spacer carrier to create one or more flow paths to guide air flow into one or more directions; and wherein the at least one flat air flow device is located on B-side below padding of the climatizable seat. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
