Vehicle seat comprising an upper seat part and a lower seat part, the upper seat part and the lower seat part being connected by a scissor-action frame, and comprising a damper, the scissor-action frame comprising a first scissor arm and a second scissor arm, the first scissor arm and the second scissor arm being mounted so as to be rotatable about a common swivel axis, a first end of the damper being rotatably connected to the first scissor arm, a first lever element and a second lever element being provided, a first end of the first lever element being rotatably connected to the first scissor arm and a first end of the second lever element being rotatably connected to the second scissor arm and a second end of the damper being rotatably connected to a second end of the first lever element and to a second end of the second lever element.

The present disclosure provides a damper system for a suspension of a vehicle seat. A linkage of the damper system can be configured to cause a damper to provide different damping characteristics when the suspension moves towards a neutral position than when the suspension moves away from the neutral position.

Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and apparatus for a space-saving suspension system. In various embodiments, the apparatus may comprise a fine suspension device, a coarse suspension device, and a mechanical assembly. In various embodiments, the fine suspension device is arranged at an angle greater than zero degrees from the z-axis. In various embodiments, the mechanical assembly is coupled to the fine suspension device and a payload, such that when a force is exerted on the mechanical assembly by the payload, an applied force is transmitted to the fine suspension device.

A suspension pedestal may be employed with a vehicle seat (e.g. a boat seat). The suspension pedestal comprises a piston partially received within a base, and an isolator to mitigate relative movement between the base and piston. A flange extends circumferentially around the base, and is releasably fixable to the base at any point between the ends of the base.

A vehicle seat having a residual spring travel controller and an air spring, the residual spring travel controller and the air spring each having a first end that is connected to a first connecting link of the vehicle seat and each having a second end that is connected to a second connecting link of the vehicle seat, and the residual spring travel controller comprising a piston element that is connected to the first end of the residual spring travel controller and a rod element that is connected to the second end of the residual spring travel controller, it being possible to bring the piston element into contact with a valve element or a switch element by means of a rotary and/or sliding movement with respect to the rod element to adjust an amount of air of the air spring.

Vehicle seat element for a vehicle seat having a residual spring travel adjustment device, the vehicle seat element having a first fastening eye, it being possible to introduce the residual spring travel adjustment device into the first fastening eye and the residual spring travel adjustment device having a fastening eye insert having an eccentric hole.

A ride height adjustable oil damped air shock boat seat pedestal with selectively lockable swivel capability is shown, which includes a locking pin extending below the seat and moving up and down with the seat as permitted and controlled by the air shock. The locking pin being received by a structure, which limits rotation of the seat.

To make it possible to improve seated person's posture stability with respect to input vibration, and more improve a vibration absorption characteristic or an impact absorption characteristic caused by impact vibration as compared with conventional ones. A suspension mechanism 1 has a structure in which two suspension units 100, 200 which support a movable support part 140 and a seat support part 240 through link mechanisms 110, 120 respectively are arranged in two upper and lower stages, and a configuration such that, when the movable support part 140 and the seat support part 240 move up and down relatively in response to input vibration, the two link mechanisms 110, 210 supporting the respective parts are operated to rotate in opposite directions to each other. Therefore, a position of a hip point of a person seated on a seat supported by the seat support part 240 is displaced in an approximately vertical trajectory, which reduces forward and backward swinging and stabilizes a seating posture, resulting in good ride comfort, as compared with a case of one link mechanism.

Vehicle seat having a pitching spring unit, a vehicle seat upper part and a vehicle seat lower part of the vehicle seat being connected such that they can be moved relative to one another by means of a scissor frame arrangement, comprising a first scissor arm and a second scissor arm which cross in a first region as viewed in a vehicle seat width direction, the pitching spring unit comprising a spring element carrier and a spring element, the spring element being connected on one side to the vehicle seat upper part, the vehicle seat lower part or the scissor arms and on the other side to the spring element carrier which is connected to the first scissor arm such that it can be rotated about a second rotational axis and to the second scissor arm such that it can be rotated about a third rotational axis.
