It is limited to tests that can beconducted on uniform test fixtures and equipment available in commercial laboratory test facilities. Thispractice includes a minimum requirement for horizontal forward loads encountered in vehicle
6、 forward impacts,and horizontal loads obtained by impacting the vehicle from the rear. The requirements and test procedures inthis recommended practice reflect current technology and industry experience.

Definitions3.1 Motor Vehicle Seat SystemA structure engineered to seat the driver and/or passengers, including all pads,upholstery, dec
9、orative metal trim parts, and seat adjusters or supporting components.3.2 Seat AdjusterA device anchored to the structure which supports the seat frame assembly and provides forseat adjustments in the longitudinal and/or vertical direction. This includes any track, link, or power actuatingassemblies
10、 necessary to adjust the position of the seat.3.3 Seat FrameThe structural portion of a seat assembly. The frame may be constructed with springs attacheddirectly to the structural frame or with the springs attached as a separate assembly.3.4 Seat Back Frame Upper CrossbarThe uppermost horizontal str

12、ce attached to a seat back or the vehicle structure and designed toreduce rearward movement of the head.4. General Requirements4.1 Simulated Inertia LoadingEach seat system or applicable component, together with its attachments, shallbe capable of sustaining a horizontal forward and rearward (in rel
13、ation to the vehicle) static load, unlessotherwise noted below, when tested in accordance with 5.1.a. The seat frame shall not become detached from the seat adjuster or support system, and there shallbe no separation of the seat adjuster mechanism under loading equal to 20 times the weight of all se
14、atand seat adjuster components that are longitudinally adjustable.b. The seat system shall not become detached from the vehicle structure under loading equal to 20 timesthe weight of the applicable components.c. Restraining devices for folding seats or seat backs shall not become detached from the s
15、eat structureor disengaged under a horizontal forward load equal to 20 times the weight of the applicable fullytrimmed component.The seat adjusters or latching mechanisms need not be operable after the application of the test load. Theseload requirements are independent of any additional loads which
16、 may be imparted to the seat adjusters andseat frame due to seat belt installations. If seat belts are anchored to the seat system, SAE J787 should befollowed.4.2 Calculated Inertia Loading of Restraining Devices for Seat Backs and Folding SeatsRestrainingdevices for seat backs and folding seats in
17、the vehicle latched seat position, when evaluated by calculation,must remain in the latched position when subjected to an inertia load of 20 g in the forward direction withrespect to the seat (see Section 6.)4.3 Simulated Occupant LoadingEach seat system, together with its attachments, shall be capa
18、ble ofsustaining a rearward static moment (in relation to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle) about the seat “H“ point(see SAE J826) of 3300 in.-lb for each passenger for which the individual seat back is designed, when tested inaccordance with 5.2. Seat adjuster and reclining seat mechanism shall
19、 not disengage from their presentposition during application of the test moment.4.4 Simulated Occupant Loading of Head RestraintThe head restraint, its attachments, and designedsupporting structure shall sustain a minimum force equivalent to 3300 in.-lb about the seat “H“ point and shallnot fail pri

Test Procedures5.1 Simulated Inertia Loading5.1.1 ALL SEAT ADJUSTER AND SEAT FRAME COMBINATIONS, AND ALL NONADJUSTABLE FRONT SEATS AND FOLDINGSEATSa. A diagonal strut shou
21、ld be secured in place on each side of the test seat frame from a point in thesame horizontal plane as the c.g. of the fully trimmed seat frame to a point as far forward as possible ofthe seat adjuster attachments (See Figure 1).SAE J879b Revised JUL68-3-b. Adapt the test fixture to the subject seat
22、 adjusters or support system, seat frame (trimmed oruntrimmed), or frame and spring assembly and attachments. The seat adjusters or support systemshall be installed on the test fixture in the same relative position as in the vehicle. All attachments areto be at a minimum torque specification. FIGURE
23、 1SIMULATED INERTIA LOADINGc. The seat adjusters shall be located in the full forward and upward design position for forward loadingand in the full rearward and upward design position for rearward loading.d. The test load is to be applied in a horizontal forward and rearward direction through the pl
24、ane of thec.g. of a fully trimmed seat frame (see Figure 1).5.1.2 ALL NONADJUSTABLE INTERMEDIATE AND REAR SEATS AND ALL FOLDING SEAT BACKSa. A load carrying fixture, constructed in such a manner as to distribute the test loads into the applicablecomponent or components shall be used for these tests.
25、 The fixture must carry the test loads, througha universal type joint, to the seat component or components near the points of attachment to the body,but must not be attached in a manner which would reinforce the sample under tests.b. The test sample is to be attached to the appropriate body structur
26、al members in the designed manner.If other seat components or trim items contribute to the restraint of the sample, these items must alsobe installed in their design position.c. The test load is to be applied in a horizontal forward and rearward direction through the c.g. of theapplicable fully trim
27、med component or components (see Figure 2). For folding seatbacks thehorizontal load shall be applied in the direction of fold (see Figure 3).SAE J879b Revised JUL68-4-FIGURE 2SIMULATED INERTIA LOADINGFIGURE 3SIMULATED INERTIA LOADINGSAE J879b Revised JUL68-5-5.2 Simulated Occupant Loadinga.
