A kinetic seat cushion assembly that rotates based on a force applied on an occupant seated therein is provided. The kinetic seat cushion assembly includes a primary seat cushion frame, a secondary seat cushion frame, a seat cushion tilt mechanism coupling the secondary seat cushion frame to the primary seat cushion frame such that the secondary seat cushion frame is movable with respect to the primary seat cushion frame, and a front pivot mechanism that pivotally couples a front portion of the primary seat cushion frame to a front portion of the secondary seat cushion frame.

A vehicle seat back may include an integrated suspension structure including a suspension wire and suspension mounting guides coupled to both sides of the suspension wire; and a seat back pad foamed for integrating with the integrated suspension structure in a state in which the integrated suspension structure is inserted into a mold for seat back pad formation.

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.

Embodiments related to active vibration isolation systems for a vehicle seat, as well as their methods of use, are disclosed. In some embodiments, an active suspension system may be configured to support a seat above a floor of a vehicle. The active suspension system may include two or more actuators that may be operated cooperatively to control both the roll and heave of the vehicle seat. In some instances, these actuators may also be non-back-drivable actuators. Additionally, in some embodiments, an active suspension system may include one or more torsion springs that apply torques in parallel with associated actuators of the active suspension system to support at least a portion of the loads applied to the active suspension system during operation.

A seat cushion extension device is provided which can slide a seat cushion via a single spring, and has high assembly efficiency and a low weight due to a simple structure. The seat cushion extension device includes: a base having first and second rack gears provided to face each other; a cushion part provided on an upper portion of the base to move forward/backward; a locking gear part combined with a shaft extending from the cushion part to the base and having a first gear provided to be engaged with the first and second rack gears; and a manipulation part combined with the cushion part to move forward/backward between the cushion part and the first gear, and having a protruding part provided on a lower surface thereof.

A vehicle, and a rear seat arrangement for a vehicle, includes at least one backrest. The at least one backrest comprises a strut bar, and at least one of the at least one backrest is adapted to be pivotally folded into a backward folded position for connecting the strut bar to a mounting structure at a body of the vehicle.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat comprising a vehicle seat upper part and a vehicle seat lower part, which are spaced apart from one another along a height axis Z and are connected to one another by means of a scissor frame arrangement, wherein at least two damping elements are provided between the vehicle seat upper part and the vehicle seat lower part, the at least two damping elements each extending, inclined at an angle of attack α, relative to a first axis parallel to the height axis.

An adequate mechanical stiffness and strength are afforded to a tumble seat or a vehicle seat having a latch mechanism provided in a rear end of the seat cushion. A cushion frame (F1) of the seat includes a side frame (5) extending in a fore and aft direction, and the side frame includes a first member (10) comprising a channel member having an open side facing sideways and a second member (11) attached to the first member so as to form a closed cross section jointly with the first member, and extending downward further than the first member. A latch mechanism is positioned under the first member and attached to the second member.
