A vehicle seat device capable of suitably restraining an occupant by means of a seat belt device includes a seat main body having a seat cushion and a seat back, a reclining device connecting the seat back to the seat cushion so as to be pivotable and capable of locking a pivoting motion of the seat back, and a seat belt device for restraining an occupant seated on the seat main body. The seat belt device includes a lap belt restraining the occupant's lumbar or thighs, a belt anchor attached at a position beside the seat main body and having a belt engaging portion engaging with an engaged portion provided in a tip portion of the lap belt, and an anchor moving device capable of moving the belt engaging portion of the belt anchor in a seat front to back direction with respect to the seat main body.

An example embodiment of a system and methods for detecting and reporting whether passengers are seated and secured in their seats within a vehicle may include a passenger sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a presence of a passenger in a seat in a vehicle, a restraint sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a status of a passenger safety restraint associated with the seat, a transmitter configured to be in electronic communication with the passenger sensor and the restraint sensor and to wirelessly transmit data indicative of the presence of a passenger in the seat and the status of the restrain, and a reporting module configured to be disposed proximate a driver of the vehicle. The reporting module may be configured to receive the data from the transmitter, and output a respective status for each of a plurality of seats.

A frame for a vehicle seat is provided, in particular for a vehicle seat for people with a disability. The frame is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. A substructure for receiving the frame is also provided, in particular for reversibly releasably coupling to a vehicle structure, with the substructure being made at least partially or completely of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.

A vehicle includes a frame and a plurality of seats supported by the frame including at least one front seat and at least one rear seat. The at least one rear seat includes a seat back and a seat base, the seat back and the seat base being moveable between a lowered position and a raised position. The raised position is defined by the seat back and the seat base of the at least one rear seat being positioned at a first vertical height. The lowered position is defined by the seat back and the seat base of the at least one rear seat being positioned longitudinally rearward of the at last one front seat and at a second vertical height, the first vertical height being greater than the second vertical height.

Provided is a control assembly (3) for a seat belt retractor, the control assembly comprising a first electric motor (31), a second electric motor (32), a control module (33), a third electric motor (34) and a retractor (35), wherein the control module (33) is separately connected to the first electric motor (31), the second electric motor (32) and the third electric motor (34), and collects rotation signals of the first electric motor (31) and the second electric motor (32) and outputs a compensation signal to the third electric motor (34); the rotation of the first electric motor (31) and the rotation of the second electric motor (32) are both related to the angle of the retractor (35); and the third electric motor (34) is connected to the retractor (35) and directly compensates the angle of the retractor (35).

A vehicle seat includes a seat body and side brackets provided on the outer sides of the seat body. Each of the side brackets includes an upper bracket and a lower bracket. The upper bracket is fastened to an outer side surface of the seat body and is also fastened to the lower bracket. The lower bracket is fastened directly or indirectly to a vehicle floor. The lower bracket and the upper bracket are fastened at a front fastening portion and a rear fastening portion, which are located apart from each other in the front-back direction of the seat body. The front fastening portion and the rear fastening portion each include an adjuster configured to change a position of the upper bracket with respect to the lower bracket in an up-down direction or in up-down and front-back directions to fasten the front and rear fastening portions together.

The invention relates to a load-bearing seatbelt retractor for a seat structure of a vehicle seat, the seatbelt retractor having two housing halves between which functional modules of the seatbelt retractor are disposed. One functional module is a belt reel having a winding axis. The two housing halves form two mutually parallel receptacles in the seatbelt retractor, which are oriented perpendicular to the winding axis. Two seat bars can be inserted into the receptacles. The two housing halves are in contact at least on two contact lines above and below the functional modules with respect to an insertion direction of the receptacles. The lower contact line splits open on both sides along the winding axis such that respective intermediate spaces open toward the receptacles are formed.

One aspect of the present disclosure provides a seatback including a back frame, a fixed portion, a first coupled portion, a second coupled portion, a first diagonal bead portion, and a second diagonal bead portion. The first diagonal bead portion (i) is raised from a surface of a back panel of the back frame in a thickness direction thereof and (ii) extends in a diagonal direction inclined relative to a seat width direction and a seat up-down direction. The second diagonal bead portion (i) is provided at a diagonal position relative to the first diagonal bead portion on the back panel, (ii) is raised from the surface of the back panel in the thickness direction thereof, and (iii) extends in the diagonal direction.

A utility vehicle, which includes a seat and can travel on rough terrain, is provided. The seat includes a sitting part that can seat three passengers side by side in a right-left direction that is a width direction of the vehicle, and a backrest part. The sitting part includes a first sitting part in a left region, a second sitting part in a right region, and a third sitting part in a central region, in the right-left direction. The third sitting part includes a protruding part protruding upward of the first and second sitting parts. The height of a sitting surface of the third sitting part relative to sitting surfaces of the first and second sitting parts monotonously decreases from rear to front.
