A personal watercraft has a hull, a deck, a motor, a motor control unit operatively connected to the motor for controlling at least one parameter associated with the motor, a seat assembly including a seat portion selectively connected to the deck, and a raised seating system including a seat support selectively connected to the deck for selectively supporting the seat portion above the deck. A sensor is connected to at least one of the hull and the deck and is communicating with the motor control unit. In response to the seat support being connected to the deck, the sensor detects a presence of the seat support, and in response to the sensor detecting the presence of the seat support, the motor control unit limits at least one of the at least one parameter associated with the motor. A method for adjusting performance of a personal watercraft is also provided.

A seat assembly that includes a main body portion having a seat portion and a back portion extending upwardly from the seat portion. The main body portion includes an inner layer and an outer layer. A middle layer is positioned between the inner and outer layers. The middle layer includes a plurality of rings that are not co-axial with one another.

A modified OEM vehicle having an interior for accommodating a passenger in a wheelchair including a floor base assembly, a seat, and a seat base assembly operatively connected to the seat. The seat base assembly includes a lower seat base assembly configured to be coupled to the floor base assembly, an upper seat base assembly pivotably coupled to the lower seat base assembly, and an actuator coupled to the lower seat base assembly and to the upper seat assembly. The actuator includes a retracted position in which the seat is located in a seated position and an extended position in which the seat is located in a tilted position, wherein the tilted position of the seat provides additional space for the wheelchair within the interior of the vehicle.

A variable handle device for getting on and off a vehicle includes a grip body assembly installed to a vehicle body of a vehicle, the grip body assembly configured to be rotated and protruded to an outside of the vehicle body when a door is opened and to be pushed by the door to return to an inside of the vehicle body when the door is closed, a grip body rotation mechanism configured to generate a driving force for rotating the grip body assembly to the outside of the vehicle body when the grip body assembly returns to the inside of the vehicle body, and a grip handle assembled slidably to an outside surface of the grip body assembly along the grip body assembly.

Vehicle (100) having a body (1), the body comprising a door (2R) movable between a closed position and an open position. A piece of equipment (3R, 90R) is mounted at an inner side of the door in such a manner that when the door opens, said piece of equipment moves to take up an open position in which at least part of said piece of equipment is outside the body of the vehicle (100). The piece of equipment (3R, 90R) may comprise a seat cushion (36), a plurality of shelves, or a box. The vehicle further comprises a equipment positioning mechanism (60) capable of moving said piece of equipment relative to the door (2R).

An assembly for absorbing energy in an overload event has an energy absorber for reducing the load on an object being transported on a loading unit. The energy absorber, in the case of a one-off overload event with an energy input that is sufficiently high that damage to the object would be possible or highly likely in the absence of the energy absorber, to absorb energy in order to reduce the load on the object. Measured values relating to the current state of the loading unit are periodically acquired by a sensor device. A control device identifies an overload event from the acquired measured values. A weight of the object to be transported and a limit value for a load on the object are determined. Following identification of the overload event, damping by the energy absorber is controlled to keep the load on the object below the limit value.

A movable body control device controls a movable body on which a worker performing a work task at a workplace is capable of boarding and which is capable of adjusting the height of a boarding part on which the worker boards. The movable body control device includes: an acquisition part that acquires, from a terminal device that is carried by the worker and that accepts information which is input by the worker in accordance with the work task, information based on input information which is input by the worker in accordance with the work task; and a control part that controls the height of the boarding part based on the information which is acquired by the acquisition part.

A generally vertical pillar extends between a floor and a ceiling of a vehicle chassis and carries a seat. A damper is secured between an attachment point on the pillar and an attachment point vertically offset therefrom on the vehicle chassis. This damper comprises a plurality of C-shaped springs each attached at one of the attachment points to the pillar and extending therefrom at an angle of 45° relative to the pillar and an opposite end attached at the other attachment point to the chassis and extending therefrom at an angle of 45° relative to the pillar. The springs each are elastically deformable and form force absorbers that return to a starting shape after elastic deformation. Each C-shaped spring defines a gap open at an acute angle to the vertical and that varies in dimension on deformation of the respective spring.

The embodiments described and claimed herein are improved vehicle access systems. In particular, one embodiment includes three compact, motorized mechanisms for pivoting a passenger seat toward a door opening, extending the passenger seat outside the door opening, lowering the passenger seat, and tilting the passenger seat to help the passenger stand. The first mechanism concurrently pivots the passenger seat and moves it sideways during the pivoting operation so that it is aligned with the door opening. The second mechanism extends the passenger seat outside the door opening. The third mechanism lowers the seat.

The present invention relates to a multi-joint driven console box for construction equipment, including: a multi-joint driven forward and backward drive mechanism connected to the underside thereof; and a stand type control box connected to top of the multi-joint driven forward and backward drive mechanism, wherein the multi-joint driven forward and backward drive mechanism includes: a movable link top coupling bracket; a fixed link underside coupling bracket; a first link and a second link connected in the form of joints to the movable link top coupling bracket and the fixed link underside coupling bracket; a link plate coupled to the movable link top coupling bracket and the fixed link underside coupling bracket; and a link plate forward and backward drive mechanism disposed between the link plate and the fixed link underside coupling bracket.
