The sealed boat seat suspension also includes a boat seat attachment component which is movable with respect to at least a portion of the plurality of sealed rails. The sealed boat seat suspension also includes a suspension component which is coupled to the boat seat attachment component such that the suspension component provides at least some control of movement of the boat seat attachment component with respect to at least a portion of the plurality of sealed rails.

A kinetic seat cushion assembly that rotates based on a force applied on an occupant seated therein is provided. The kinetic seat cushion assembly includes a primary seat cushion frame, a secondary seat cushion frame, a seat cushion tilt mechanism coupling the secondary seat cushion frame to the primary seat cushion frame such that the secondary seat cushion frame is movable with respect to the primary seat cushion frame, and a front pivot mechanism that pivotally couples a front portion of the primary seat cushion frame to a front portion of the secondary seat cushion frame.

An adequate mechanical stiffness and strength are afforded to a tumble seat or a vehicle seat having a latch mechanism provided in a rear end of the seat cushion. A cushion frame (F1) of the seat includes a side frame (5) extending in a fore and aft direction, and the side frame includes a first member (10) comprising a channel member having an open side facing sideways and a second member (11) attached to the first member so as to form a closed cross section jointly with the first member, and extending downward further than the first member. A latch mechanism is positioned under the first member and attached to the second member.

The disclosure provides for a system that includes one or more cabin components in a vehicle and one or more computing devices of the vehicle. The one or more computing devices are configured to determine that a vehicle will have an acceleration in a first direction at a future time and an acceleration time associated with the acceleration of the vehicle, alter the one or more cabin components of the vehicle before the acceleration time, and adjust the one or more cabin components of the vehicle based on the acceleration of the vehicle over time.

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 seat part which includes a cushion foam spanned by a seat cover is part of a seat system having an adjusting device by which flexibility of the seat part is variable. The adjusting device includes at least one guy device, disposed in a guy trench of the seat system, having a guiding element attached to an outer area of the seat cover and movable relative to the cushion foam between a first position relaxing the seat cover and a second position tensioning the seat cover or varying the flexibility of the seat part.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat with a horizontally movable seating surface for receiving a person, a retaining means which can be rigidly connected to a vehicle, and a horizontal spring system and a vertical spring system, wherein both the horizontal and vertical spring systems are configured as fluid systems, wherein the fluid systems are supplied by a central fluid supply and the fluid system of the horizontal spring system being separated from the fluid system of the vertical spring system by at least one valve.

The invention relates to an adjustable damping system for a vehicle seat for damping a movement of the seat part-side upper part relative to the body-side lower part in at least one spatial direction, wherein, for damping, at least one damping element is provided, which is adjustable by an adjustment device and is arranged between the seat part-side upper part and the body-side lower part. The damping system is further distinguished in that a first damping force of the damping element is settable by the adjustment device, wherein this first damping force can be determined by the adjustment device, with the aid of a total damping travel of the damping element, a basic damping force presettable by a damping setting device, a position of the seat part-side upper part, measurable by a sensor device, relative to the body-side lower part and a movement direction of the seat part-side upper part relative to the body-side lower part, wherein the movement direction can be determined from at least two temporally consecutive positions of the seat part-side upper part, measurable by the sensor device, relative to the body-side lower part.

The invention relates to an adjustable damping system for a vehicle seat for damping vibrations of a seat-part-side upper part relative to a body-side lower part in at least one spatial direction (X, Y, Z), at least one damping element, arranged between the seat-part-side upper part and the body-side lower part and adjustable by an adjustment device, being provided for the damping. The damping system is further distinguished in that at least one relative movement variable and a change in the relative movement variable of the seat-part-side upper part relative to the body-side lower part can be determined by a sensor device, and a first damping force of the damping element can be adjusted by the adjustment device as a function of the at least one relative movement variable and the frequency of the change in the relative movement variable.
