A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.

A transformable seat assembly which includes a seat support structure and a seat connected to the seat support structure with a hinge. The hinge defines an axis of rotation. A back support structure connected to the seat support structure, which extends in an upward direction relative to the seat support structure. A back cushion is secured to the back support structure and a lumbar cushion extends along the back support structure positioned between the back cushion and the seat, wherein the lumbar cushion is releasably secured to one of the back cushion or the back support structure and an end portion of the seat positioned closer to the back support structure with the seat positioned in an occupant support position than the hinge, can rotate in a direction of rotation about the axis of rotation, which includes the upward direction and a direction away from the back support structure.

In the present invention, by providing a motion control apparatus comprising an input interface configured to obtain a motion control input, a pattern selector configured to select at least one similar motion pattern corresponding to the motion control input from a plurality of predefined motion patterns, and a motion controller configured to control a seat on which the viewer sits based on the at least one similar motion pattern, the time and cost for providing realistic effect are reduced.

A beam seating assembly has a frame supporting a seating surface. A beam secures to a first support and extends in a longitudinal direction. A channel is located the beam free of the first support. The frame has a lower portion with a connector that is insertable into the channel transverse to the longitudinal direction and the connector, once inserted into the channel, is retained from removal out of the channel in a direction. The connector is insertable into a first portion of the channel and a second portion of the connector rotatable into a second portion of the channel and then slidable away from the first portion such that the first and second portions of the connector are retained within the channel but are slidable in the longitudinal direction until the connector is fixedly secured to the beam. The frame is made in certain aspects from a flat plate.

This patent provides a dynamic seat movement platform, which comprises an upper support frame and a lower support frame, and three electric cylinders are arranged between the upper support frame and the lower support frame. At the same time, it is also provided with a first auxiliary support frame and a second auxiliary support frame. The bottom ends of the first auxiliary support frame and the second auxiliary support frames are arranged on a side of the lower support frame, wherein an end surface of the joint bearing disposed on the first auxiliary support frame is horizontally installed, and an end surface of the joint bearing disposed on the second auxiliary support frame is vertically installed. This patent can make the dynamic motion chair has features of simple structure, accurate simulation and smooth movements, fast response, characteristics of a large range of movement. It can also according to the action instruction files, cooperate with the films used to produce even smooth and precise movements, make the viewer produces in the plot of the film experience and brings viewer feel stimulation from the comprehensive multi-dimension.
