ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat having an adjustable side bolster includes a seat frame, a first plate, a second plate, a living hinge and a displacement mechanism. The first plate is fixed to the seat frame. The second plate is pivotably mounted to the first plate. The living hinge resiliently connects the first plate and the second plate. A displacement mechanism is disposed between the first plate and the second plate, selectively moving the second plate relative to the first plate between the first position and the second position. The living hinge provides a spring force tending to return the second plate to one of the first position and the second position.
