Abstract

The U-shaped framework element for a seat made from a deformed hollow tube makes it possible to form a component which comprises two practically parallel branches (10) and a transverse bridge (20) which joins them together with the aid of elbows (30). In cross section, these branches (10) and elbows (30) have a channel configuration with one dished face (11) and a flat opposite face (12), and in cross section, this bridge (20) has a polygon-shaped configuration with straight sides (21) and rounded vertices (22). Use to land motor vehicles whose padding is clipped on.
