The particularity is that at least a first type of connector is provided that is connectable with at least one longitudinal bar (23, 24) selected from a set of longitudinal bars of different length, and/or with at least one cross bar (21, 22) selected from a set of cross bars of different length.

A work machine may include a steering system, a user interface, a detection device, and a control device. The user interface may generate an input signal corresponding to operator input. The detection device may generate a detection signal corresponding to a presence of an operator relative to the user interface. The control device may determine that the operator is unavailable based on the detection signal and the input signal, and enable a lockout mode based on determining that the operator is unavailable. The control device may determine, while the lockout mode is enabled, a readiness indicator. The readiness indicator may confirm a readiness of the operator based on determining that the detection signal satisfies a readiness criterion. The control device may disable the lockout mode based on determining that the readiness criterion is satisfied.

A lock mechanism for controlling a rotating component including an outer shaft attachable to a stationary component and having a slotted ring defining capture slots and an interior annular space, a control ring having a first end disposed in the annular space, an inner shaft attachable to a rotating component configured to rotate relative to the stationary component, and the inner shaft engaged with a second end of the control ring, a first collar rotatably disposed around the slotted ring, the first collar having a plurality of release recesses, and a plurality of first bearings respectively retained within the capture slots beneath the first collar. In a first rotational position of the first collar, the plurality of release recesses align with the capture slots to rotationally disengage the rotating and stationary components. In a second rotational position of the first collar, the plurality of release recesses misalign with the capture slots to rotationally engage the rotating and stationary components.

An armrest assembly for a vehicle seat includes an armrest body and a first shaft that extends from a first side of the armrest body along an armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. The armrest assembly also includes a second shaft that extends from a second side of the armrest body along the armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. A detent body is fixed on the first shaft and includes a first detent and a second a second detent. A stop is fixed on the armrest body. The stop is retained in the first detent when the armrest body is in a first position relative to the first shaft. The stop is retained in the second detent when the armrest body is in a second position relative to the first shaft.

A reclining seat including, but not limited to, a seat bottom; a seat back, a leg support, and an arm support forming a seat assembly. The seat assembly is configured to be supported on a floor surface and to move between an upright configuration and a flat configuration. The seat back and the leg support are transverse to the seat bottom, and the arm support is transverse to the seat back, when the seat assembly is in the upright configuration. The seat back, the seat bottom, the leg support and the arm support are each longitudinally aligned with one another when the seat assembly is in the flat configuration. An upper surface of the seat back, the seat bottom, and the leg support are each coplanar with one another and substantially coplanar with the arm support when the seat assembly is in the flat configuration.

An armrest assembly and method of manufacturing, which may comprise an armrest structure including an integral outer flange extending around essentially an entire periphery of the armrest structure, an integral web extending within the integral outer flange, an integral boss extending laterally from the integral web coaxial with a pivoting axis of the armrest, and integral stiffening ribs extending laterally from the integral web, between the integral outer flange.

A latch assembly of a seat is provided in a vehicle. The latch assembly includes a base including a first pin and a second pin. A first latch includes a first housing and a first latch mechanism at least partially enclosed within the first housing. The first latch is pivotally coupled to the base. A second latch includes a second housing and a second latch mechanism at least partially enclosed within the second housing. The second latch is pivotally coupled to the base. The first latch is disposed in its latched position when the first latch engages the first pin, and the second latch is disposed in its latched position when the second latch engages the second pin. The first latch and the second latch are not disposed in their respective latched positions at the same time.

The present disclosure relates to an armrest (9) for a seat arrangement (1) of a vehicle or a vessel. The armrest is foldable between a use position and a fold-away position and comprises a pad portion (11, 11), an arm portion (13), a first hinge (15) having a first hinge axis and a second hinge (17, 17) having a second hinge axis. The pad portion is elongate along a longitudinal axis. The first hinge rotatably connects the pad portion and a first end portion (19) of the arm portion. The second hinge rotatably connects a second end portion (21) of the arm portion to the seat arrangement. The first hinge axis and the second hinge axis have extension directions being parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pad portion.

An aircraft seat armrest includes an armrest portion and two extension elements coupled to the armrest portion on opposite sides thereof. A first of the two extension elements is rotatable from a first, closed, position where it is disposed below the armrest portion to a second, open, position wherein the first extension element is adjacent to the armrest portion. The arm rest also includes a first locking mechanism disposed on the first extension element that maintains the first extension element in the open position after it has been moved from the closed position to the open position.

A vehicle console assembly includes a body that defines a cutout. The cut out includes a contact surface. A lid is operably coupled to the body and includes a connector that defines an engagement member. The lid is operable between a raised position, a lowered position, and an intermediate engaging position therebetween defined by a predefined opening angle. The engagement member is space-apart from the context surface when the lid is in the lowered position and engages the contact surface when the lid is in the intermediate engaging position. A biasing member is disposed proximate the connector. A hinge pin extends through the cutout, the biasing member, and the engagement member.
