At least one adjustable locking element, separate from the fixing element, which by interaction with the fixing portion engaging in the fixing opening locks the fixing element on the fixing opening and blocks the fixing portion against removal from the fixing opening.

A storage assembly is usable with a vehicle seat assembly having a seat frame and a seat bottom. The storage assembly includes an upper ring configured for attachment to the seat frame. The upper ring facilitates travel through the opening of the seat frame, and defines a hollow interior with open upper and lower ends. A lower receptacle having an upper opening is configured for attachment to the upper ring, such that the upper opening is contiguous with the hollow interior of the upper ring. The lower receptacle includes an interior storage space that is defined by sides and a bottom, the lower receptacle being larger in size than the upper ring such that the lower receptacle is impeded from travel through the opening of the seat frame. The lower receptacle is configured to be insertable into the open space of the vehicle upon removal of the vehicle body panel.

A seat assembly for a transport vehicle includes a seat base assembly configured to being coupled to a floor of the transport vehicle. The seat base assembly includes a seat and a cable system having a cable and an actuating mechanism operably coupled to the cable. A clamping arm is operatively coupled to the seat base assembly and the cable system. The actuating mechanism operably actuates the cable to move the clamping arm between an unlatched position and a latched position with respect to the floor. In the latched position, the seat base assembly is coupled to the floor, and in the unlatched position, the seat base assembly is decoupled from the floor.

A locking unit (10) for a vehicle seat (1) includes a housing with a side plate (16) which has at least one first mounting aperture (17), and/or with a cover plate (18) which has at least one second mounting aperture (19), and at least one mounting stud (51, 52). The first mounting aperture (17) and/or the second mounting aperture (19) are designed so that the mounting stud (51, 52) can be placed in at least two different positions in the first mounting aperture (17) and/or in the second mounting aperture (19).

A motor vehicle seatbelt restraint arrangement including a continuous seatbelt. When the occupant is seated the seatbelt buckle tongue is drawable across the body to engage the buckle providing firstly a pre-impact configuration of the seatbelt characterised by a lap belt portion resting on the hips or upper legs of the occupant, wherein the lap belt portion is rearward vertically offset relative to an underside belt portion of the continuous seatbelt across the seating surface of the seat, and secondly an impact configuration of the seatbelt characterised by the lap belt portion and the underside belt portion being less rearward vertically offset and substantially vertically aligned one with respect to the other to provide a more vertically aligned loop of the continuous seatbelt around the hips or upper legs of the occupant at impact preventing submarining of the occupant out from the motor vehicle seat during impact.

A rear-seat assembly, comprising a backrest, a transverse pin for articulation of the backrest, and a pair of brackets fixed by welding to respective rear wheelhouses. Each bracket comprises a fixing plate and a central bracket body, which are constituted by two separate components of sheet metal having different thicknesses and fixed together by welding. The fixing plate has front and rear surfaces contacting an inner surface portion of the wheelhouse, and the central bracket body is substantially C-shaped with a central wall and two side walls, which are bent with respect to the central wall and have respective front edges welded to the fixing plate front surface. The central wall has an opening for insertion and blocking of one end of the transverse pin having an internal edge that is not bent, with a thickness equal to the thickness of the central bracket body.

A removable seat assembly for a vehicle, including a base assembly having a riser portion configured to support a seat; a frame structure coupled to and supporting the riser portion, the frame structure defining a first generally planar surface configured to support a floor section; a seat dolly coupled to the frame structure, the seat dolly including a plurality of wheels for moving the seat assembly from a first position to a second position; a floor base assembly defining a substantially planar surface for receiving the plurality of wheels of the seat dolly as the seat assembly is moved from the first position to the second position; and a mounting bracket configured to releasably lock the seat dolly to the floor base assembly.

A vehicle includes a floor panel, a battery module, an exhaust duct, and a carpet. The battery module is disposed inside a vehicle interior. The exhaust duct is provided on the floor panel to discharge air output from the battery module through the exhaust duct. The carpet is disposed on the floor panel so as to cover the exhaust duct. The carpet has ventilation holes such that air discharged from the exhaust duct is to pass through a space between the floor panel and the carpet and to be discharged into the vehicle interior through ventilation holes.

A vehicle includes a battery module and an exhaust duct to discharge air from the battery module. A first side member is provided along a first side trim to provide a space between the first side member and the first side trim in a vehicle width direction. The space is connected to the battery module via the exhaust duct. A rear seat is provided in a vehicle interior. A first exhaust port is connected to the exhaust duct via the space and provided in the vehicle interior below the rear seat in a vehicle height direction. A second exhaust port is connected to the exhaust duct via the space and provided in the vehicle interior behind the rear seat in a front-rear direction. The air is discharged from the exhaust duct through the first exhaust port and the second exhaust port via the space.

The present disclosure provides a center hinge assembly for a vehicle rear seat, which includes a lower bracket having a first seating groove formed at one end thereof so that a first shaft or a second shaft is inserted into the first seating groove, and a first locking groove formed at the other end thereof, deeper than the first seating groove, so that a bush fastened to the first or second shaft is inserted and locked into the first locking groove, and an upper bracket having a second seating groove formed at one end thereof so that the first or second shaft is inserted into the second seating groove, and a second locking groove formed at the other end thereof, deeper than the second seating groove, so that the bush is inserted and locked into the second locking groove.
