A seat frame side member includes a frame body and a structural attachment point configured to connect a seat feature to the seat frame side member. The structural attachment point includes a projection extending from the frame body to a distal end. The projection includes a seat feature receiving portion at the distal end of the projection and a seat feature seating portion between the seat feature receiving portion and the frame body, and the seat feature receiving portion has a cross-sectional thickness that is different from a cross-sectional thickness of the seat feature seating portion. The seat frame side member can have an anisotropic microstructure with a plurality of layers built by additive manufacturing.

A backrest of a vehicle seat, comprising a backrest frame, comprising a first lateral flank, a second lateral flank, an upper crossmember, a lower crossmember. The backrest further comprises a seat belt anchoring means support frame, comprising two upper tubes, each extending through a separate through-hole formed in the upper crossmember, so as to extend, at least partially, above the upper crossmember, a lower tube, positioned near the lower crossmember of the backrest frame, and fixed to at least one lateral flank of the backrest frame, at least one connecting tube connecting at least one upper tube to the lower tube.

There is provided a vehicle seat including: a seat back frame standing from a seat rear end side of a seat cushion, a left and right pair of cushion frames, the seat back frame being supported to be tiltable in a seat front-and-rear direction, and the seat back frame structuring a framework of a seat back; and a seat back panel that is provided at the seat rear side of the seat back frame, an upper frame structuring an upper end portion at the seat rear side of the seat back frame, an upper end portion of the seat back panel being disposed at the seat upper side relative to the upper frame, and the seat back panel displacing toward the seat lower side when an impact load is applied from the upper side of the seat back.

A seating assembly of a row of seating of a vehicle comprising: (a) a seat including a frame having an inboard side; and (b) an inboard armrest assembly comprising: (i) a lower bracket attached to the inboard side of the frame of the seat; (ii) an upper bracket pivotally coupled to the lower bracket about a pivot axis extending generally forward-to-rearward; and (iii) a cushion unit mounted upon the upper bracket, the upper bracket having an inboard position and, upon application of an outboard force to the upper bracket, an outboard position further outboard than the inboard position, the upper bracket transitioning from the inboard position to the outboard position about the pivot axis. The outboard force moving the cushion unit to the outboard position removes the inboard armrest assembly from projecting into a center aisle of a vehicle.

Described are seat backs for passenger seats. The seat back includes a frame, and the frame includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion includes a top end of the seat back, and the lower portion is adjacent to the upper portion. A thickness of the upper portion of the frame may be less than a thickness of the lower portion of the frame.

A seating furniture chassis comprises a base body, a plurality of electrically conductive cables fastened to the base body, wherein each of the electrically conductive cables has at a first end an individual connector that is electrically connectable to a peripheral electrical device, and a central connector, wherein each of the electrically conductive cables is electrically connected at a second end to the central connector.

A seating furniture chassis comprises a base body, first and second side parts, a back part, a plurality of electrically conductive cables fastened to the base body, first and second fasteners arranged on the base body, wherein the back part is releasably fastenable to the first fastener and the first and second side parts are respectively releasably fastenable at two opposite sides of the base body to the second fastener, and a plurality of individual connectors and a central connector, wherein the electrically conductive cables each connect one of the individual connectors to the central connector.

The vehicle seat comprising a seat-bottom frame; a seatback frame comprising at least one first lateral riser mounted pivoting relative to said seat-bottom frame around a transverse axis; a first discontinuous type hinge mechanism with a first side-plate rigidly fixed to the seat-bottom frame and a second side-plate; an intermediate riser mounted on the seat bottom frame, pivoting around the transverse axis, by means of the first hinge mechanism where the intermediate riser and the second side-plate are securely connected in rotation around the transverse axis; where the intermediate riser is fixed to the first lateral riser at a distance from the transverse axis; where the intermediate riser has a stiffness less than the stiffness of the first lateral riser of the seatback frame.

A vehicle seat includes a pair of side frames disposed separately from each other in a lateral direction; a pair of connecting frames disposed separately from each other to connect the pair of side frames; and a supporting member including hook portions hooked on the pair of connecting frames, the supporting member being laid to bridge the pair of connecting frames, and configured to support an occupant, wherein a tubular member in which a connecting frame is disposed is provided in a position between the hook portions and the side frames. The tubular member is configured to contact the hook portion to thereby restrict a position of the supporting member in the lateral direction.

An adjustment arrangement for an adjustment device of a vehicle seat comprises a transverse tube and at least one connecting part connected fixedly in terms of rotation to the transverse tube. The transverse tube is inserted into a bore in the connecting part.
