The SAE Standard has been prepared
to provide a universal three dimensional manikin for use in
defining vehicle seating accommodation. The H-point manikin
represents the weight and contour of a 10th, 50th & 95th
percentile adult male. Constructed of reinforced plastic and
metal, it consists of a separate back pan and seat pan, mechanically
hinged at the hip or "H." point, which simulates the
actual pivot centre of the human torso and thigh. A graduated
sliding probe is hinged from the "H" point, to measure
the effective headroom in the compartment. A quadrant is fastened
to the probe to measure the back angle. A thigh bar attached
to the seat pan establishes the thigh length and serves as a
base line for the hip angle quadrant. Lower leg segments also
adjustable in length are connected to the seat pan assembly
at the knee joint T bar, which is a lateral extension of the
adjustable thigh bar. Quadrants are incorporated in the lower
leg segments to measure the knee angles. Pivoted at the lower
end of the lower leg segments, shoe and foot assemblies are
calibrated to measure the angular relation. |
Positive stops are provided in
the thigh and lower leg segments for the 10th, 50th & 95th
adult male percentiles. Two spirit levels orientate the device
in space. Body segment weights are placed at the proper centre
of gravity locations to bring the manikin's weight to 76 Kg,
the 50th percentile adult male weight.
