An automotive hydrogen storage tank support system for a vehicle includes: a floor; a pair of side sills mounted on lateral edges of the floor, respectively; and a support frame mounted on the floor and supporting a hydrogen storage tank The support frame includes a pair of longitudinal members, and a plurality of transverse members connecting the pair of longitudinal members to each other, at least one transverse member among the plurality of transverse members has a pair of extension portions respectively extending from opposite ends thereof toward the pair of side sills, and each extension portion is joined to a corresponding side sill of the pair of side sills.

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.

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 technology described in the present specification is embodied in a vehicle. The vehicle includes a vehicle body, a seat, and a seat bracket. The vehicle body includes a pipe material extending in the vehicle right-left direction. The seat is provided in the vehicle body, and an occupant of the vehicle sits on the seat. The seat is fixed to the pipe material via the seat bracket. The seat bracket includes a bracket lower and a bracket upper. The bracket lower is placed below the pipe material. The bracket upper is placed above the pipe material such that the pipe material is sandwiched between the bracket upper and the bracket lower.

A vehicle seat core material includes a molded article that includes thermoplastic resin expanded beads. The molded article has a substantially rectangular shape in a top view, and has a front side and a rear side opposite the front side. The molded article has an average density (Z) of 20 kg/m.sup.3 to 50 kg/m.sup.3. The molded article includes, on the rear side of the molded article, a rear thin portion having a thickness of 10 mm to 40 mm, the thickness of the rear thin portion being smaller than an average thickness of the molded article. A ratio (Y/Z) of a density (Y) of the rear thin portion to the average density (Z) of the molded article is 1.05 to 3. The rear thin portion of the molded article has a fusion rate of 70% or more.

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.

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 vehicular seat is provided with which compactness can be achieved in a housed state where a seat main body is housed. A vehicular seat is a seat configured to be housed in a housing recess formed in a vehicle body floor. The vehicular seat includes: right and left rail devices fixed on the vehicle body floor and supporting a seat main body to be movable in the front to back direction; and a reclining device pivotably connecting the seat main body to a support base constructed on the right and left rail devices. The reclining device is arranged at a height position overlapping upper rails in the up and down direction, and is arranged outside the upper rails in a seat width direction.

System and method for obtaining and recording information about cargo includes a frame defining a cargo-receivable compartment, a position determining system at least partly on the frame and that allows for determination of position of the frame, an identification system on the frame that obtains information about cargo when present in the compartment, a memory component that receives and records information about position and movement of the frame, and the obtained information about cargo when present in the compartment in association with a unique identification of the frame, and a communications system on the frame to enable communication of information to and from the memory component.
