A vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a door assembly. The body is supported by the chassis, and defines a driver compartment and a cargo compartment. The driver compartment has a cab opening and the cargo compartment has a cargo opening. The door assembly is coupled to the body and provides selective access into the driver compartment and into the cargo compartment through the cab opening and cargo opening, respectively. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door. The first door is movable between a first position extending across the cab opening and a second position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening. The second door is movable between a third position extending across the cargo opening and a fourth position extending at least partially across a portion of the cab opening.

A vehicle seat includes a base, a buckle mounted on the base, a mounting member used to mount the buckle on the base, and an intermediate member provided between the base and the buckle. The manufacturing method includes providing an assembled body formed by integrating the buckle, the mounting member, and the intermediate member, and mounting the buckle on the base by combining the assembled body with the base.

A sideseat includes a sideseat base, turntable, posterior frame and backrest frame. The sideseat posterior frame is rotatably coupled to the sideseat base through the turntable. The turntable is positioned so that the sideseat turntable and combined frame components move from a deployed position to a locked position in response to an applied force.

Disclosed is a low-posture zero-gravity seat frame capable of being adjusted in multiple directions. A first left front connecting rod has a lower end hinged to a left slide rail front bracket and an upper end hinged to one end of a second left front connecting rod, and the other end of the second left front connecting rod is hinged to a front horizontal tube. A second toothed plate driving device is able to adjust the height of a seat framework through the movement of a rear horizontal tube. A seatbelt retractor is disposed below the seat framework. The seat frame can realize zero-gravity adjustment, occupies a small space, and can fulfill low-posture seat arrangement.

A vehicle includes a pair of support portions that connect a frame portion and a roll-over protection cage to each other; a cross member that extends in a width direction of the vehicle and connects the pair of support portions to each other at positions higher than centers of the pair of support portions in an up-down direction of the vehicle; a first seat portion, a second seat portion, and a third seat portion in a front row; and a seat belt unit corresponding to the second seat portion. The seat belt unit includes a winding device located at a position lower than a shoulder anchor. The cross member is located between an upper end of the shoulder anchor and a lower end of the winding device in a front view of the vehicle, and supports the shoulder anchor and the winding device.

An occupant protection device is provided including (1) an airbag that covers the head of the occupant, and that has (i) a front deployment section that is housed in a headrest, and that is deployed at a seat forward direction with respect to the head of a seated occupant, and (ii) a pair of left and right lateral deployment sections that are inflated and deployed at seat sides with respect to the head of the seated occupant, (2) a lifting mechanism that raises and lowers the vehicle seat, and (3) a controller that uses the lifting mechanism to lower the vehicle seat to an airbag deployable height in cases in which a vehicle collision has been determined to be unavoidable and a height of the vehicle seat is higher than the airbag deployable height, and that inflates and deploys the airbag after lowering the vehicle seat.

A safety restraint system for a vehicle seat having a seat back, a seat cushion and a frame includes an inflatable pelvis restraint device having a flexible member extending laterally across the seat cushion and having a first end and a second end. The flexible member includes at least a portion that is inflatable for increasing a height of the seat proximate a forward edge of the seat. In one embodiment, both the first and second ends are attached to the frame. In another embodiment, the safety restraint system includes a continuous webbing that defines a pelvis restraint portion, a lap belt portion and a shoulder belt portion. The lap belt portion, the shoulder belt portion, or both may be additionally inflatable.

The present invention provides a seat back comprising: an upper frame; a first side frame coupled to one side of the upper frame; and a first belt bracket which is coupled to a section at which the upper frame and the first side frame are connected, and which guides a seat belt. The first belt bracket comprises: a front bracket disposed in front of the section at which the upper frame and the first side frame are connected; and a rear bracket which is manufactured so as to be separable from the front bracket, is coupled to the front bracket, and is disposed behind the section at which the upper frame and the first side frame are connected.
