A motorized seat that may be used in various marine applications to help improve adjustability and user comfort. In one implementation, a left armrest motor, a right armrest motor, and a footrest motor are selectively controllable and configured to move the left armrest between a left armrest stowed position and a left armrest lowered position, the right armrest between a right armrest stowed position and a right armrest lowered position, and the footrest between a footrest stowed position and a footrest lowered position.

A vehicle proposed herein includes a swivel, a lock mechanism selectively locking and unlocking the swivel, a seat mounted on the swivel, a plurality of surface pressure sensors each disposed along an outer surface of the seat and detecting a pressure distribution within a predetermined area of the outer surface, and a controller configured to cause the lock mechanism to be unlocked based on a change in pressure distribution or a surface pressure that is detected by any of the plurality of surface pressure sensors.

A vehicle input-operation assistance device includes: a traveling state detection section that detects a traveling state of a vehicle; an operation state detection section that detects an operation state of an operation member gripped by an occupant during operation; a support section that is capable of being stowed in an interior component of the vehicle, and that is capable of projecting from the interior component to a support position where the support section is capable of supporting an elbow of the occupant when the occupant is operating the operation member; and a controller that determines whether or not the elbow of the occupant operating the operation member needs to be supported based on information detected by the traveling state detection section and the operation state detection section and, in cases in which support is determined to be needed, controls the support section to project to the support position.

An assembly includes a seat and an armrest moveable relative to the seat. A first arm and a second arm each include a first hinge and a second hinge. The first hinges are spaced from each other and fixed relative to the seat. The second hinges are spaced from each other and fixed relative to the armrest.

The invention relates to an arm rest, in particular for a vehicle seat, comprising a support arm (12), which can be pivoted about a pivot axis (a1) between at least one use position and at least one non-use position, and which by means of a locking device (19) that can be moved between a locking position and a release position can be locked in at least one position. First retaining means (21) are assigned to the support arm (12), which can releasably be brought into engagement with second retaining means (22) that are connected to the vehicle structure, in order to lock the movement of the support arm (12) in at least one direction (u2) and in at least one locking position. The invention is characterized in that the locking device (19) comprises at least one lever (13) that interacts with the support arm (12), which relative to the support arm (12) is movably mounted, wherein the lever (13) is provided with the first retaining means.

A seat mounting structure for at least one seat in a vehicle having a vehicle structure is provided. The seat mounting structure may have a seat rib cage configured as a universal solitary mounting bracket to which at least one seat can be affixed. The seat rib cage may have a plurality of rib cage elements connected with each other to form the seat rib cage. The seat rib cage may also have a plurality of seat mounting points for mounting the at least one seat to the seat rib cage. The seat rib cage may also have a plurality of vehicle structure mounting points for mounting the seat rib cage to the vehicle structure.

The disclosure relates to a seat for a vehicle. The seat may have a seat structure having at least a backrest frame part adjustable between an initial position and at least an inclined position. The seat may also have a seat adjusting device having at least a number of linear actuators. Further, the disclosure relates to a seat mounting structure having such a seat.

The disclosure relates to a seat trim structure for a vehicle seat with at least a mounting element having a plurality of integrated retaining elements, a number of detachable support members, and a number of detachable trim elements. The support members may be detachably arranged to the mounting element and the integrated retaining elements may be configured to detachably retain the number of trim elements to the mounting element.

The present disclosure relates to an occupant support element that may have at least one structural support element. Further, the present disclosure relates to a vehicle seat that may have such an occupant support element.

The present disclosure refers to a tray table device for a vehicle seat that may have at least a table element and a table support structure connected to the table element. Further, the present disclosure refers to a vehicle seat that may have such a tray table device.
