Abstract
A spine support is provided in particular for the use in a seat of a vehicle with at least one bending element (20) and at least two independent operating elements (41a, 42a, 41b, 42b) to bend the bending element (20), wherein the first operating element (41a, 42a) engages a first part of the bending element (20) to cause first curvature of the spine support and the second bending element (41b, 42b) engages a second part of the bending element (20) to cause a second curvature of the spine support so that the overall curved shape of the spine support is a superposition of the first and second curvature. According to a further aspect, the present invention relates to a spine support, in particular for the use in the seat of a vehicle with at least one bending element (20) and at least one supporting element (30'), wherein the at least one supporting element (30') is flexibly attached to the at least one bending element (20).
