Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus for mounting a thermoelectric device in a thermo-regulatable vehicle seat incorporating a lumbar support device. The thermoelectric device is mounted to a seat back load support structure which is affixed to a rear portion of the seat back cushion by a mounting bracket such that the entire upper and lower end portion of the seat back cushion can move forward and backward with the lumbar support device in position.

1 . A apparatus for mounting a thermoelectric device in a heating/cooling ventilation vehicle seat comprising:
 a lumbar support device mounted inside a seat back;   a thermoelectric device mounted to a seat back load support structure which is operably fixed to a rear portion of a seat back cushion by a mounting bracket such that an entire upper and lower end portion of the seat back cushion can move on a substantially horizontal axis.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a bellows disposed between the seat back cushion and an air outlet of the thermoelectric device such that the seat back cushion and the air outlet are substantially connected to one another.
