Described are ergonomic passenger seats that may include monocoque or semi-monocoque seat backs, cellular suspension cushions, and tray tables with support arms that may be located within the interior volume of the monocoque or semi-monocoque seat backs when in their stowed positions. The passenger seats offer enhanced passenger comfort and space while providing a lightweight, simple to manufacture design. Monocoque and semi-monocoque seat backs may form integral parts of passenger seats to support additional loads without need for heavy, complex structures. The space within the monocoque or semi-monocoque seat back may then be used for storage or suspension cushions that offer improved comfort with a lighter seat frame. Monocoque and semi-monocoque seat backs may also facilitate the adoption of several other seating mechanisms, such as new seat mounts that allow for improved seat motion that allows for passenger recline with reduced impingement on other passengers' space.

The movement element mounted in the receiving space displaceable between closed and release positions by a bearing device. Movement element closing the access opening at least in sections in the closed and release positions. The movement element releasing access through the access opening into the receiving space. The receiving element and/or the movement element includes damping device for at least partially damping movement element movement. Method of damping movement of movement element of such receiving device for receiving objects in a vehicle interior.

An embodiment moving console for a vehicle includes a first console unit including an accommodation space configured to be opened forward or rearward and an air-conditioning duct disposed at an outer side of the accommodation space and configured to discharge air to an interior of the vehicle through the air-conditioning duct, and a second console unit installed to be slidable at a front or a back of the first console unit such that, depending on forward/rearward sliding, the second console unit is accommodated in the accommodation space of the first console unit or is deployed out of the first console unit.

A motor vehicle comprises two front seats aligned in a transverse direction, and at least one rear seat. Said at least one rear seat comprises a seating portion with a seating portion frame, a backrest with a backrest frame. The backrest frame is pivotable relative to the seating portion frame about a first transverse axis, between at least one deployed position for receiving an occupant of the seat and a folded position in which the backrest frame is folded down to face the seating portion frame. Said at least one rear seat is adapted to have a configuration in which said at least one rear seat is in said folded position and the backrest of said at least one rear seat extends at least partly between the two front seats.

A vehicle floor mat system comprising a vehicle floor tray molded from an extrusion polymer sheet, a vehicle floor mat affixation device containing a circular shaped body with axial extending tines, and a removable carpet attachment is disclosed. The vehicle floor mat system resists affixation device pull-out and shear forces applied to the mat with respect to the original equipment manufacturer's floor covering on which the mat is placed but allows for easy removal and replacement of the vehicle floor mat and of the affixation devices.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to, for example, a table for a vehicle, the table including at least one base for fastening to the vehicle, and a table plate connected to the base. The table plate is elastically movable crosswise to a longitudinal axis of the table, in relation to the base, via a connection apparatus.

A storage device for a vehicle has a guide unit and a hinge element, which can be guided on the guide unit and which is guided for sliding in the manner of a drawer along the guide unit. The hinge element has a contact surface and at least one side wall angled thereto. The side wall has a plurality of fold regions, such that a first hinge part and a second hinge part are formed between the fold lines in such a way that the storage device, in a usage position, forms a stable base surface for objects.

Various accessories for motor vehicles with removable doors are described herein. In particular, the accessories may be mounted to a motor vehicle when a traditional, or factory, door is removed. Example accessories include covers, grab handles, tube doors, and pieces of furniture, each of which may include one or more lights or other electrically powered devices.

A vehicle includes a body structure that defines a passenger cabin, a seat assembly that is located in the passenger cabin, and a table that includes a table top and an adjustable support assembly. The table top is located adjacent to the seat assembly, the adjustable support assembly includes actuators, and the adjustable support assembly is configured to move the table top with respect to the seat assembly. The vehicle also includes sensors that are configured to generate sensor outputs regarding an environment outside of the vehicle, and a controller that detects a vehicle event based on the sensor outputs. In response to the detection of the vehicle event, the controller outputs a control signal that controls the adjustable support assembly so that the adjustable support assembly moves at least part of the table top away from the seat assembly.

An energy absorbing table includes a support assembly and a table assembly. The support assembly includes a sidewall support that mounts to a sidewall, a support post that attaches to a floor, and a table support assembly coupled to the sidewall support and the support post. The table assembly includes a tabletop, at least one energy absorbing assembly, and at least one linear guide assembly. The at least one energy absorbing assembly includes a pair of plunger assemblies secured to the tabletop, and a crush chamber assembly secured to the table support assembly. The crush chamber assembly is configured to slidably receive an end portion of each of the pair of plunger assemblies and includes a pair of energy absorption cores. The at least one linear guide assembly includes a linear guide secured to the tabletop, and a pair of mounts secured to the table support assembly.
