A motion assembly for moving a passenger seat from a first location to a second location, for instance to facilitate seating persons of reduced mobility. In embodiments, the motion assembly includes a first subassembly for linear motion in a first direction, a second subassembly for linear motion in a second direction, and a third subassembly for rotational motion, the third subassembly positioned between and interconnecting the first and second subassemblies, wherein an amount of rotational motion of the third subassembly determines an angle of the second direction relative to the first direction. In some embodiments, the passenger seat is located in a suite and requires motion in at least two directions to move the seat from within the suite to the suite entrance.

A revolveable door chair for a vehicle includes a support frame including a base, a side member extending upwardly from the base, and a chair support. The side member is pivotally mounted to a vehicle support. A ground support leg is pivotally connected to the base. A chair is positioned in the support frame. The chair rests in the chair support.

A mounting tile is utilized for mounting a vehicle seat to a vehicle floor. A method for mounting a vehicle seat using the mounting tile includes affixing angle iron to the side edges of the floor, affixing a layer of metal plating on top of the angle iron, affixing one or more mounting tiles to the metal plating, positioning filler material between the one or more mounting tiles, positioning a floor covering over the mounting tiles and filler material, aligning the fastener elements of the vehicle seat structure with apertures in the mounting tile, and attaching the fastener elements and the seat to the mounting tile.

A module element for a vehicle, in particular a public transport vehicle such as a bus or train, comprises a lower component and an upper component connected to the lower component at an interface. The essentially identical lower component can be combined with different upper components.

A motor vehicle for independent use by an individual in a wheelchair, comprising an open air vehicle body including a floor further comprising a front, a rear, and lateral sides, said floor sized and shaped to receive and retain a wheelchair; a motor; at least one front and at least one rear wheel supporting said vehicle body and floor, each of said front and rear wheels attached rotatably near an underside of a corner of the vehicle body; at least one actuator attaching said floor to said at least one rear wheel, wherein said floor can be lowered to a ground surface and raised to a level floor position; wherein a rear portion of said floor is structured to fold upward to form said rear side and fold downward to be in line with said floor; and a steering control assembly coupled to said at least one front wheel.

The embodiments described and claimed herein are improved vehicle access systems. In particular, one embodiment includes three compact, motorized mechanisms for pivoting a passenger seat toward a door opening, extending the passenger seat outside the door opening, lowering the passenger seat, and tilting the passenger seat to help the passenger stand. The first mechanism concurrently pivots the passenger seat and moves it sideways during the pivoting operation so that it is aligned with the door opening. The second mechanism extends the passenger seat outside the door opening. The third mechanism lowers the seat.

Disclosed is a method of use of a movable seat for a law enforcement vehicle. A method of restraining a detainee within a vehicle may include the steps of: opening a door on a vehicle comprising a movable seat; retracting the movable seat from a first position in the vehicle to a second position adjacent the door of the vehicle; seating a detainee in the movable seat of the vehicle; wherein the detainee's hands are restrained behind its back; positioning the detainee's hands in an opening in a back of the movable seat; restraining the detainee in the movable seat with a seat belt coupled to the movable seat; returning the movable seat to the first position inside the vehicle; and closing the door on the vehicle.

A mounting tile for mounting a vehicle seat to a vehicle floor comprises at least two tubular members having a rectangular cross-sectional shape and a U-shaped channel having apertures that may include weld nuts for receiving fastener elements protruding from the bottom of the vehicle seat structure. A method for mounting a vehicle seat using the mounting tile includes affixing angle iron to the side edges of the floor, affixing a layer of metal plating on top of the angle iron, affixing one or more mounting tiles to the metal plating, positioning filler material between the one or more mounting tiles, positioning a floor covering over the mounting tiles and filler material, aligning the fastener elements of the vehicle seat structure with apertures in the mounting tile, and attaching the fastener elements and the seat to the mounting tile.

A wheelchair control system and a control method using the same is provided. Firstly, providing a wheelchair which has a back provided with a first sensor and at least one second sensor arranged above the first sensor. The first sensor and the second sensor are electrically connected with a control device. A sitter sits in the wheelchair to trigger the first sensor and the second sensor, whereby the control device controls the wheelchair to operate. When the first sensor and the second sensor are triggered or non-triggered, the control device controls the wheelchair to stop or operate. The present invention controls the wheelchair to operate by changing the posture of the sitter, improves the conventional wheelchair to move by another person, and provides an automatic wheelchair for a sitter with upper limbs that inconveniently move. The sitter only moves his back to control the wheelchair to operate.
