A drive bush configured to circumferentially rotate and drive a pair of wedge members in an eccentric space includes a cylindrical portion rotatably supported inside a boss portion of an internal tooth constituting member, a flange portion integrally formed at a first end portion in the axial direction of the cylindrical portion so as to face one side surface side of the wedge members, and a pushing portion integrally provided on the outer peripheral side of the flange portion, and configured to release a wedge effect by circumferentially pushing the wedge members. The inner surface of the cylindrical portion is integrally formed with a wall portion, and the wall portion is formed with, in the middle thereof, a female spline teeth meshing with the output shaft of a motor. The cylindrical portion, the wall portion including the female spline teeth and the flange portion have substantially the same thickness.

Ventilated seat system

A ventilated seat system for a vehicle includes a seating assembly including a seatback operably coupled to a seat base. A blower is coupled to the seating assembly. The blower generates a sound transmission when activated. The blower includes a housing defining an inlet and an outlet. A first metamaterial silencer is coupled to an interior surface of the housing proximate to the inlet, and a second metamaterial silencer is coupled to the interior surface of the housing proximate to the outlet. Each of the first metamaterial silencer and the second metamaterial silencer reduces the sound transmission generated by the blower.

A vehicle seat (20) has a first seat base (21), a first backrest (22), a first hinge assembly (31) defining a first axis of rotation (41), and a second hinge assembly (32) defining a second axis of rotation (42). The first backrest (22) is rotatable via the first hinge assembly (31) and via the second hinge assembly (32) relative to the seat base (22). The second axis of rotation (42) is spaced apart from the first axis of rotation (41). The first backrest (22) extends between a top end (112) and a bottom end (111) in a first spatial situation (P1) provided for driving.

Release mechanism for seat recliner assembly

A seatback adjustment assembly may include a recliner heart, an attachment plate, and a lever. The recliner heart is operable in an unlocked state permitting relative rotation between a seatback and a seat bottom and a locked state preventing relative rotation between the seatback and the seat bottom. The attachment plate is rotationally fixed to the recliner heart. The lever is rotatable between a first state in which the lever is engaged with the attachment plate and a second state in which the lever is disengaged from the attachment plate. When lever is in the first state and the recliner heart is in the unlocked state, rotation of the recliner heart causes corresponding rotation of the seatback relative to the seat bottom. However, the seatback is configured to rotate relative to the seat bottom without causing corresponding rotation of the recliner heart when the lever is in the second state.
