A bus seat for use in a bus comprises a frame and a seat back secured to a portion of the frame. The bus seat further comprises a seat cushion secured to another portion of the frame. The bus seat also comprises a removable two piece cover arranged over the seat back, wherein the cover pieces are secured to one another with a zipper. The zippered two piece seat back cover allows for easy installation, removal or replacement of any damaged or worn portions of the seat back trim cover.

A forklift includes a cabin and a seat for use by a driver arranged in the cabin. The cabin has a lateral opening to enter and exit the cabin, and the seat is mounted rotatably relative to the cabin. There is a safety bracket for preventing the driver from involuntarily exiting the cabin through the lateral opening, and for providing lateral impact protection. The safety bracket is mechanically connected to the seat to be rotatable together with the seat.

Described are aircraft seat frame assemblies comprising a tube and a seat frame component mounting system. The seat frame component mounting system comprises a first tube mounting member and a second tube mounting member separable from the first tube mounting member. The tube is positionable between the first tube mounting member and the second tube mounting member. The seat frame component mounting system further comprises a fastener extending at least partially through the second tube mounting member, the tube, and the first tube mounting member to couple the second tube mounting member to the first tube mounting member. A clamping force is substantially evenly applied from the second tube mounting member and the first tube mounting member against an outer circumferential surface of the tube via the fastener.

The present invention relates to a fabric (30, 31) with at least one support (41, 41′), with at least two electrical function elements (70), and with at least one seam (40). It is provided that at least two of the electrical function elements (70) are in the form of strands and integrated in the seam (40).

Described herein are illustrative embodiments of a multi-pivot seat base assembly including a first pivot assembly having a fixed part mountable to a floor and a pivotable part, a proximate arm having a proximate end mounted to the pivotable part of the first pivot assembly and a distal end including a fixed part of a second pivot assembly, a distal arm having a proximate end provided with a pivotable part of the second pivot assembly; the proximate end of the distal arm being pivotally mounted to the fixed part of the second pivot assembly; the distal arm including a distal end provided with a seat receiving post; and a controllable damping mechanism provided between the fixed part and the pivotable part of the first pivot assembly.

A transportation seat support apparatus includes a frame configured to support a transportation seat. The frame includes an attachment portion configured to attach to a wall of a transportation vehicle, and at least one beam extending from the attachment portion at a first end and terminating at a second end. The transportation seat support apparatus further includes a pedestal configured to support the frame. The pedestal includes at least one leg portion configured to attach to a floor of the transportation vehicle, and at least one aperture configured to telescopically receive the second end of the at least one beam. The at least one beam is slidably movable within the at least one aperture.

A multi-linkage hinge assembly is provided for pivoting a seat cushion between flat and upright positions. The hinge assembly includes a base bracket, a seat bracket having a support surface, a front linkage member pivotally attached between the seat bracket and base bracket, a rear linkage assembly having a lower linkage member pivotally attached to an upper linkage member, and a tie linkage connecting the front linkage member to the rear linkage assembly. The tie linkage synchronizes movement of the front linkage and rear linkage assembly when the hinge is operated to move between an upright and flat position.

A belt mount for a vehicle seat or a vehicle bench seat in a vehicle is proposed, wherein the belt mount comprises an attachment mechanism for attaching to a vehicle structure in the region of a vehicle floor such that a lower end section of the belt mount can be fixed in the region of the vehicle floor, wherein the belt mount comprises a support arrangement with a support member for supporting on the vehicle structure of the vehicle. According to the invention, the support member, protruding forward in the driving direction, is present on the belt mount such that it is spaced apart at the top from the lower end section of the belt mount and is formed in such a way that the support member can be connected in the region of the vehicle structure of the vehicle which is present above the vehicle floor.

Seat devices, apparatus, systems and methods for converting vertical single jump seats into bench seats and vice versa, without removing and replacing the seats inside of vehicles, such as in trucks, vans, station wagons, sport utility vans (SUVs), and automobiles. The mechanisms allow for converting the vehicle seats from vertical to bench seats and vice versa without having to physically remove and install different seat arrangements within the vehicles. The conversion between the jump seats with vertical backs and bench seats uses the same seat components and parts. The conversion can take place in seconds and at most a few minutes without using tools.
