Hi, I would appreciate your help with this term.
By what I have been able to find it seems like it is the part fo the seat wher your lower back rests on. Lower back as in the bottom part of the back not your bottom :)
Context is:
"Cada sistema se compone de dos aletas plegadas en chapa de acero de 295 mm de longitud, 60 mm. de ancho y 4 mm. de grueso, cuyos pliegues están dotados de diferentes grados de inclinación para lograr una mayor comodidad"
Thanks :)

bent steel plates (ver)
Tocayo, creo que "aleta" se refiere a la chapa plegada con la que se hace el respaldo y no a la parte del asiento en sí.
Sugiero "back support" or "lumbar support" para el respaldo y "bent steel plates" para la chapa de acero plegada.
Suerte!

back-rest support brackets
These are two narrow metal strips, bent to conform to a comfortable angle and attached between the seat and back-rest

Hi Christine, it does appear quite a bit in Spanish and I had never heard of it before either.
