A bus structure, optionally an electric bus structure for one hundred passengers or more. The bus structure includes: a passenger compartment, a side wall with a vertical post and delimiting the passenger compartment, a horizontal support, a vertical handle—or stanchion—along the vertical post and projecting from the horizontal support, a strut projecting from the vertical post to the horizontal support, and a floor structure of reduced thickness. The strut defines a triangle with the wheel housing and the vertical post. The strut is straight or curved.

A space for installing a seat mechanism can be reduced as compared with a prior art when a seatback is supported by support members. A rear panel is provided upright to partition an inside and an outside of a vehicle cabin. A seat support body includes support columns that are fixtures and seat crosses that are support members. The support columns are fixed to a rear panel. The seat crosses are supported by the rear panel with a gap therebetween via the support columns. Each seatback is supported on a back face thereof by the seat crosses. A belt path through which a webbing extends from a retractor to a shoulder anchor is formed in the gap between the seat crosses and the rear panel.

The subject of the invention is a frame for seats in public transport vehicles, used in vehicles such as trams, school buses or other vehicles for transporting passengers on short distances, with low requirements for the comfort of travel.

Wherein the profile (1) has an outline similar to an ellipse and its longer section axis is tilted upwards/outside from the vertical plane, which forms the frame's perpendicular bisector, by angle α (10-30°), preferably 20°.

A seat attachment system for a mass transit vehicle including a rail, a fastener and a seat interface. The rail, which is adapted to be secured to a chassis of the mass transit vehicle, has a longitudinal T-slot adapted to receive the fastener. The rail has two non-parallel sets of corrugations on its external face. The seat interface, which is adapted to be mounted to a seat frame, is also provided with two non-parallel sets of corrugations whose angle matches that of the sets of corrugations on the rail. The sets of corrugations are adapted to cooperate and interlock in pairs so as to respectively locate the seat interface, and thereby a seat to which it is attached, vertically and horizontally upon the fastener being tightened.

A protective shield assembly for use on a bus is disclosed. The assembly includes a first fastener affixed to the luggage rack of the bus, a second fastener affixed to a rear surface of the backrest of the seats of a row of the bus, and a body extending between the luggage rack and the seats to form a barrier between adjacent rows. The body includes an upper end having a third fastener and a lower end having a lower edge, a cut-out, a fourth fastener, and a furled portion. The third fastener is attached to the first fastener and the fourth fastener is attached to the second fastener fixing the body in position. The cut-out divides the furled portion into a left portion and a right portion that selectively and independently uncurl as the body is pulled toward a planar configuration when one of the seats is reclined.

A cover for a vehicle seat headrest includes one opening to accommodate a protuberance at the front of the headrest, such as a protuberant cushion or pillow, and another opening at the rear to permit access to a passenger behind the vehicle seat to access or view items attached to, or stored within, the rear of the headrest.

A passenger seat for commercial vehicles and rail systems, having at least: a massage pad for increasing the ergonomics in the waist section of the passenger and applying massage; a compressor for inflating the massage pad; cooling pads for cooling the passenger; a heating pad for heating the upper portion of the seat and the backrest contacting the passenger; a presence sensor for determining whether there is a passenger on the passenger seat; a belt sensor for determining whether the passenger fastens the safety belt; a wireless charging unit for the passenger to charge a mobile device without using a connection cable; a manual control panel for the heating pad, cooling pad and the massage pad; a wireless connection module for the heating pad, cooling pad and the massage pad; and a control unit where the data collected from the presence sensor and belt sensor are transmitted.

A seat assembly is provided which is mountable to a vehicle to be rotatable from a forward facing passenger use position to a lateral stowed position which requires less vehicular floor space. That seat assembly can be installed adjacent to a second forward facing seat assembly having hinged seat bottom structure which provides a wheelchair backstop/support when the second seat assembly is not occupied by any passenger. The first and second seating assembly can be mounted in a public transportation bus within the ADA area of the bus, either as a floorplan module or as separate components. The first seating assembly alone or in combination with the second seating assembly can be mounted in other vehicles, such as Class B motorhomes (as defined by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association), to provide greater versatility and/or wheelchair accommodation. The aesthetic design is established to support passenger general approval of the overall floorplan orientation.

A bus seat including a seat back and a seat bottom. The seat back further includes a panel and a housing. The housing is a modular and configured to receive a variety of different panels. In one example, attachment of the panel to the housing defines a cavity. In another example, the cavity is filled with an energy absorbing material. In another example, the energy absorbing material is expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam and/or expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam. The seat back further includes a pair of parallel mounting posts disposed between the panel and the housing. The mounting posts include a plurality of fastener mounting locations to enable a universal fit. In another embodiment, the seat back includes one or more energy absorbing portions configured to absorb energy in the event of an accident.

A leg assembly for a passenger seat for a vehicle such as an aircraft includes a forward leg and an aft leg. The forward leg includes a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end, and the top end of the forward leg includes a forward aperture for receiving a first base frame tube of the passenger seat. The aft leg includes a top end, a bottom end, a forward side, and an aft side, and the top end of the aft leg includes an aft aperture for receiving a second base frame tube of the passenger seat. The forward side at the aft aperture of the aft leg may be a forward-most portion of the aft leg, and the aft leg is indirectly connected to the forward leg.
