Buckling

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buckling is a dimension that is used in passenger vehicle construction.

There is the car the distance from the gas pedal on to the back of the driver's seat. This dimension does not correspond to the direct spatial distance, but to the total length over the "kink" created by the front edge of the seat protruding into the immediate connecting line.

The buckling dimension is used in vehicle data information from passenger cars and also from children's transport vehicles (caddies) as a feature of seating comfort.

Typical buckling sizes for cars are between 85 cm (small car, foremost seat position) and 120 cm (upper class, rearmost seat position), for children's vehicles between 50 and 60 cm.
