Provided is a seat frame for a vehicle seat capable of supporting the back of a seated person during a rear-end collision by using a simple structure and few component portions. The seat frame includes a top frame portion on the top of the seat, lateral frame portions on the right and left of the seat, and a connection frame connecting the tops of the lateral frame portions to bridge them. The connection frame includes a bent protrusion portion bent in the longitudinal direction and arranged in a standing condition from a surface formed by the connection frame, at a position between a pair of the lateral frame portions. The bent protrusion portion is provided over the entire length of the up and down direction of the connection frame.

Presented herein is a restraint system comprising an attachment point configured to attach to a hatch opening of a vehicle, a harness having a seat and a strap attached to the attachment point and to the seat. The harness is configured to accept an occupant and support a portion of the occupant at a position below the hatch opening. The restraint system further comprises an energy absorption mechanism configured to dampen rapid acceleration or deceleration of the occupant. The strap is attached to the attachment point by a quick release mechanism. The energy absorption mechanism may comprise a retraction mechanism having a damper mechanism that is a spring, a coil spring, a viscous fluid, a fluid having a dynamically changeable viscosity or a magnetorheological fluid. The energy absorption mechanism may comprise tear-away sections configured to dampen vehicle motion energy.

A high-performance sports car having: a frame that supports a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels; a passenger compartment that is formed on the inside of the frame and is arranged between the front wheels and the rear wheels; at least one door, which is hinged to the frame to allow access to the passenger compartment; at least one seat, which is arranged inside the passenger compartment to the side of the door; and a rigid protection panel which is integral with the door and, when the door is closed, is arranged alongside the seat in line with the head of the occupant of the seat.

A fold-out component body (1), in particular an armrest of a vehicle seat, can be rotated about an axis of rotation (4) from a stowage position (9) into a usage position (10). In the event of an accident, the fold-out component (1) can be secured in the stowage position thereof by a locking element (2).

A seat back structure for a vehicle according to one aspect of the present invention including a headrest, a seat back frame, a pad disposed in front of a surface of the seat back frame, a backrest surface of the pad, and right and left side supports each provided on either side of the backrest surface in a seat width direction, in which a right slit portion and a left slit portion are provided between the backrest surface and the right and the left side supports, respectively, each of the right slit portion and the left slit portion penetrating the pad in the thickness direction of the pad and extending in a vertical direction of the pad, and the right and the left slit portions are spaced apart from each other in the seat width direction.

A seat pan for a passenger seat and a passenger seat. The seat pan is corrugated for partially absorbing a downward loading applied to the seat pan through deformation of a corrugation pattern of the seat pan as a result of a counter force applied by a support structure of the passenger seat.

A raising mechanism is adapted for a child safety seat. The child safety seat includes a base and a backrest disposed on the base. The raising mechanism includes a front raising block, a rear raising block, and a driving member. A front end of the front raising block is connected to the base. A rear raising block is connected to the front raising block. The front raising block and the rear raising block form a seating portion cooperatively. The driving member is movably disposed on the base or the backrest. The driving member drives the front raising block and the rear raising block to raise the seating portion. Therefore, the raising mechanism improves sitting comfort and safety and has advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and easy operation.
