A flexible motor vehicle work surface is operably coupled with a motor vehicle seating assembly and includes a deployable support structure operably coupled with the motor vehicle seating assembly, the deployable support structure comprising an integrated guide member movable within an arcuate recess disposed on an upper surface thereof and defining an arcuate travel path. A movable horizontal surface is operably coupled with the integrated guide member and deployable support structure and has a first stored position and a second deployed position.

A vehicle includes a seating assembly coupled to a rail system that defines a track. A drive cable is configured to selectively engage with the seating assembly such that the seating assembly is translated along the rail system. A cable drive motor is configured to impart motion to the drive cable. One or more pulleys are positioned along the track.

A vehicle monitor device for a vehicle that includes at least a first seat and a second seat, the vehicle monitor device including: a monitor which is electrically connected to a computer of the vehicle and which can be used for driving the vehicle; and a moving mechanism capable of moving the monitor between a position where the monitor can be used for driving by an occupant seated on the first seat and a position where the monitor can be used for driving by an occupant seated on the second seat.

A table top is for a vehicle compartment accommodating passengers, in particular a rail vehicle. The table top includes a stationary part connected to the vehicle and a moving tray located across from a passenger chair or seat. The tray is movable along an axis of rotation parallel to a plane of the table top. The table top includes a chassis on which the tray is mounted. The chassis is translatable relative to the stationary part along an axis parallel to the plane of the tray and perpendicular to the axis of rotation. In a deployed configuration, the tray is deployed jointly with the stationary part, with the chassis maximally separated from the stationary part. In a folded configuration, the tray is pivoted along its axis of rotation in an inclined position relative to the stationary part, with the chassis minimally separated from the stationary part.

A table for vehicle includes a tray, at least one extendible leaf mounted movably on the tray between a deployed position and a withdrawn position. The extendible leaf is mounted translatably on the tray between the deployed position and the withdrawn position. The table further includes at least one rotatable leaf mounted rotatably on the extendible leaf between an idle position and a deployed position, and means for coupling movements of the second and rotatable leafs, which are configured to rotate the rotatable leaf from its idle position to its deployed position when the extendible leaf is translated from its deployed position to its withdrawn position.

A system includes an airbag including a first lobe, a second lobe, a first tether connected to the first lobe, and a second tether connected to the second lobe, a seat rotatable relative to the airbag from a first position to a second position, and a computer programmed to, based on whether the seat is in the first position or the second position, release one of the first tether or the second tether.

A convertible seating and dinette arrangement that includes moveable and adjustable first and second seats with each seat including a base, a seat bottom, and a backrest; and wherein each base is configured for pivotal movement to adjust between various modes. The convertible seating and dinette arrangement can include seats that are moveable and convertible to at least three different modes including a sofa mode, a recliner mode, a daybed mode, a dinette mode, an alternate dinette mode, and a chaise lounge mode.

A motor vehicle multi-function mounting apparatus is disclosed comprising a support pedestal and a two part quick release mounting assembly for selectively attaching one of a selection of differing objects to an upper end of the support pedestal.

A method for a display system of a motor vehicle is provided. The motor vehicle comprises one or more seats for occupants of the vehicle, the position and/or orientation of the seats within an interior of the motor vehicle being variable. The method comprises: determining a position and/or orientation of the seats; determining an orientation at least a first portion of an image to be displayed by the display system according to the position and/or orientation of the seats; and displaying the image such that at least the first portion of the image is in the determined orientation. A display system for a motor vehicle is also provided.

A vehicle occupant protection structure includes a seat body including a seatback configured to support a back of an occupant, and a shell section including a portion configured to face a side of the occupant whose back is supported by the seatback and the portion configured to restrict movement of the occupant in a seat width direction in a case of a vehicle collision.
