The invention relates to a device for influencing a backward movement of a seat (1), in particular a backrest part (1.1) of the seat (1), with at least one deformation element (4) arranged in a hinged area (7) of the seating part (1.2) of the seat (1), the deformation element (4) being configured such that the deformation element can be deformed due to a force acting on the seating part (1.2) and/or the back part (1.1) at a predefined torque curve. The invention also relates to a seat (1), in particular a vehicle seat, comprising a seating part (1.2), a backrest part (1.1) and the type of device.

A module trim element having a body defining an upper bearing surface, at least one first covering element defining a first upper bearing surface, mounted rotating about a first axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position, and at least one second covering element defining a second upper bearing surface and mounted rotating about a second axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are substantially parallel and extend at different heights relative to the body, with at least one of the upper bearing surfaces being a flexible surface and at least another one of the upper bearing surfaces being a rigid surface.

In a vehicle seat system, lowering of a seat cushion further toward a vehicle lower side than a lowerable limit value corresponding to a recline angle of a seatback is restricted by a control device in cases in which the physical build of an occupant is smaller than a predetermined value. This enables a reduction in the ability to restrain the body of the occupant using a webbing to be suppressed.

A seat assembly for use in a vehicle is repositionable between a design seating position, a folded position, and a slouch position. The seat assembly comprises a seatback fixedly coupled to a first recliner bracket, a seat cushion having a cushion bracket, a recliner pivotally connecting a second recliner bracket to the first recliner bracket, and a hockey stick assembly pivotally connected to the seatback and the first recliner bracket through the recliner and the second recliner bracket. The cushion bracket is pivotally connected to the hockey stick assembly and the second recliner bracket through a free pivot joint. The seat cushion is coupled to a track that is slidably coupled to a fixed track. The hockey stick assembly repositions the seatback between the design seating position and the slouch position as the track slides along the fixed track.

A vehicle transfer assistance system includes an adjustment position acquisition unit configured to acquire an adjustment position of a seat element set in a boarded vehicle boarded by a user, a specific distance calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the acquired adjustment position, a predetermined specific distance around a seat of the boarded vehicle formed by the seat element, the specific distance being associated with a physical feature of the user sitting on the seat,

a specific distance storing unit configured to store the user and the specific distance in association with each other, and a converted adjustment position calculation unit configured to calculate a converted adjustment position that is the adjustment position of the seat element for reproducing the specific distance in a transfer vehicle different from the boarded vehicle when the user boards on the transfer vehicle.

A motor vehicle seat having a backrest and a seat part and an adjustable sidewall arranged on the backrest and/or the seat part, which sidewall comprises an adjustment mechanism having a stationary portion and a lever portion pivotable about a pivot axis, and having at least one fluid-fillable bladder arranged between the stationary portion and the lever portion for adjusting the relative angular position thereof, wherein the lever portion comprises two wing portions which are arranged on either side of the pivot axis, and the bladder is arranged between a first wing portion and the stationary portion, wherein a preload torsion spring engages by a first spring portion on the stationary portion, and engages by a second spring portion on the second wing portion, of the lever portion, such that it exerts a preload force which pushes the first spring portion in the direction of the stationary portion.

A vehicle includes: a vehicle body including a vehicle cabin; at least one wheel disposed along one direction in the vehicle body; a seat disposed inside the vehicle cabin; a first planar member that is fixed to the vehicle body, separates the vehicle cabin from an outside of the vehicle, is disposed further toward the outside of the vehicle than the seat in the one direction, and has a first transmittance for visible light; a second planar member that is allowed to be disposed between the first planar member and the seat, and has a second transmittance for visible light that is smaller than the first transmittance; and an input device. The second planar member is disposed between the first planar member and the seat in a case where a predetermined input is performed on the input device.
