Abstract
A vehicle seating assembly includes a mounting bracket, a seat, a seatback, a first anchor, a second anchor, and a flexible member. The seat is coupled to the mounting bracket. The seatback is pivotably coupled to the mounting bracket. The first anchor is coupled to the seatback. The second anchor is coupled to the mounting bracket. The flexible member includes a first end coupled to the first anchor and a second end coupled to the second anchor such that the flexible member extends between the first anchor and the second anchor. A position of the first end of the flexible member within the first anchor changes as a function of an angular relationship between the seat and the seatback. A contour of the flexible member changes as a function of the angular relationship between the seat and the seatback.
