A power seat operating device for a vehicle has a switch module for operating a power seat of the vehicle. In particular, the switch module includes a plurality of seesaw type switches to control operation directions of the power seat, and the operation directions of the power seat according to the operation of each switch is displayed with arrows on a display, thereby improving the switch operating convenience of the user such as accurately controlling the operation direction of the power seat according to the switch operation by the user, and accurately recognizing a selection state and an operation direction of the switch desired by the user.

A recliner assembly for a vehicle seat may include a pair of recliner hearts and a cross rod. Each of the recliner hearts includes a first plate and a second plate that is selectively rotatable relative to the first plate to recline a seatback relative to a seat bottom of the vehicle seat. The cross rod extends between the recliner hearts and is received in hubs of the recliner hearts. The cross rod transmits torque between the hubs. The cross rod includes ridges that are angularly spaced apart from each other. Each of the ridges includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and an end wall extending between the first and second sidewalls. The first and second sidewalls are defined by first and second axes that extend radially outward. The first and second axes are angled such that they do not converge with each other as they extend radially outward.

A coupling structure includes a first coupling portion formed by one end portion of a first tube, and a second coupling portion formed by one end portion of a second tube, and is configured such that the first coupling portion is inserted in the second coupling portion, the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion are coupled, with the second tube being pivotable with respect to the first tube, and a gap is formed between an outer surface of the first coupling portion and an inner surface of the second coupling portion in a first state in which a fluid is not flowing through the flow path, and in a second state in which the fluid is flowing through the flow path, pressure of the fluid causes the first coupling portion to deform to expand toward an outer side of the flow path to reduce the gap.

A system for adjusting properties of a seat for a vehicle, may include thermoelement modules configured to have a structure in which a plurality of flexible thermoelements is connected by conductive wires to each other, and mounted in a seat foam pad of the seat; a property adjustment region input unit configured to select a property adjustment region of the seat foam pad; a property adjustment amount input unit configured to input a target property adjustment amount of the seat foam pad; and a controller connected to the thermoelement modules, the property adjustment region input unit and the property adjustment amount input unit, and configured to control an amount of current supplied to some or all of the flexible thermoelements according to output signals from the property adjustment region input unit and the property adjustment amount input unit.

There is provided a vehicle seat that allows detection of forgetting to mount a bracket for centering in a recliner with a limited space along a seat-width direction. One aspect of the present disclosure is a vehicle seat including a recliner mounted to a back frame. The recliner includes a recliner plate, a recliner main body configured to pivot the back frame relative to the recliner plate, a bracket fixed to the recliner plate, and a hinge pin penetrating the recliner main body, the recliner plate, and the bracket. The recliner plate includes a confirmation hole not overlapping the recliner main body. The bracket includes a body portion having a first through hole, and a detection target portion extending from the body portion to the confirmation hole and overlapping the confirmation hole.

A vehicle seat is equipped with a display mounted on a reclinable seat back. The display self-adjusts to maintain a desired viewing angle when the recline angle of the seat back changes. The display is selectively locked or unlocked with respect to the seat back to move about a pivot axis. When a change in the recline angle is detected, the display is unlocked until the desired viewing angle is reestablished. Display movement relative to the seat can be damped rotational movement or motorized movement. A user can interact with the display to set or change the desired viewing angle.

A method provides anti-trap protection for a motor vehicle, in which a miniature safety edge is arranged on a first interior component which is movable in automated fashion relative to a second interior component by way of a control device. An automated movement of the interior components relative to one another via the control device is prevented when the miniature safety edge is actuated.
