A seat pan for an automobile vehicle includes a frame carrying a suspension lattice having two sections separated by a vertical median plane dividing the seat into right and left hand sides. A motor and crankshaft combination is connected to each section of the lattice for generating in each section of the lattice a cyclic movement including, in the upper portion of its travel, a rearward movement of translation. The cyclic movements of the sections occur with an angular phase difference therebetween.

1. A seat pan, for an automobile vehicle, comprising: a frame carrying a suspension lattice having two sections separated by a vertical median plane dividing a seat into right and left hand sides; means connected to each of the sectors of the lattice for generating in each of the sectors of the lattice a cyclic movement including, in an upper portion of its travel, a rearward movement of translation; control means for generating said movement with an angular phase difference between the two sections; and pressure sensors being positioned under the surface of the seat pan such that they can measure the pressure exerted on the seat pan surface at a minimum of two points situated one in front of the other. 2. The seat pan in accordance with claim 1, further comprising means selectively storing pressure parameter values, and means of comparing the values measured by the sensors with the stored values. 3. A seat pan, for an automobile vehicle, comprising: a frame carrying a suspension lattice having two sections separated by a vertical median plane dividing the seat into right and left hand sides; means connected to each of the sections of the lattice for generating in each of the sections of the lattice a cyclic movement including, in an upper portion of its travel, a rearward movement of translation; and control means for generating said movement with an angular phase difference between the two sections. 4. The seat pan in accordance with claim 3, wherein the cyclic movement is substantially circular movement of translation around a horizontal transverse axis common to the means of generating the movement in each of the sections of the lattice, with the direction of rotation being such that during an upper portion of the travel, the displacement is in the rearward direction. 5. The seat pan in accordance with claim 3, wherein each of the sections of the lattice is elastically deformable in the longitudinal direction, the two sections of the lattice being attached at the from of the lattice and aligned along a line that is spacially fixed with respect to the reinforcing frame, the two sections being fixed at the rear of a pair of crankshafts for rotation such that an angular phase difference of 180° is maintained by the respective cyclic movements of the sections. 6. The seat pan in accordance with claim 5, wherein the crankshafts are driven by independent motors slaved to maintain said angular phase difference during the movement. 7. The seat pan in accordance with claim 3, wherein the means for generating the cyclic movement, when stopped, are maintained in the same angular position so that the left and right hand sections of the lattice sections lay in the same plane and are positioned in a forward position. 8. The seat pan in accordance with claim 7, further comprising means for initiating a preliminary positioning phase when a passenger gets into the seat, during which time the two sections of the seat are driven simultaneously rearwards. 9. The seat pan in accordance with claim 3, further comprising padding in two parts, each of the parts covering each of the sections of the lattice, and each of the parts of the padding including transverse slits. 10. The seat pan in accordance with claim 3, further comprising an external covering that offers greater adherence when moving rearwardly than when moving forwardly. 11. The seat pan in accordance with claim 3, further comprising pressure sensors under the surface of the seat pan.
