A shaft locking mechanism includes a rack disposed on a translating shaft and a toothed locking lever disposed on a corresponding translation post. The toothed locking lever engages the rack in a locked orientation to prevent the shaft translating within the translation post. The toothed locking lever is disengaged during translation and the shaft may be translated and locked in place with very granular adjustability. A control rod release mechanism may be biased to maintain the toothed locking lever in the locked orientation. A cam feature on the toothed locking lever engages the body of the control rod which defines a recessed portion that coincides with the cam while in an unlocked orientation.

Provided are a rotatable armrest and a console assembly provided with the rotatable armrest. The rotatable armrest includes a case, a knob system, and a hinge system, in which the knob system and the hinge system are mounted in the case. The hinge system includes a counterbalance shaft, and the rotatable armrest may be rotatable about the counterbalance shaft and fixed in a first position, a second position, and a third position. In the first position, the rotatable armrest is positioned in a folded down position, in the second position, the rotatable armrest is positioned in a horizontally forward-facing position, and in the third position, the rotatable armrest is positioned in a horizontally backward-facing position.

A slidable center console for a vehicle includes a console actuator for changing a slide position of the center console, a selector switch provided on the center console for changing an operation mode of the vehicle, and a console adjustment switch for adjusting the slide position of the center console by using the console actuator.

The present invention relates to a chair for supporting a person feeding a baby. The chair includes a seat. The chair includes an armrest operatively connected to the seat. The armrest is selectively rotatable about a vertical axis, and moveable forward/rearward, laterally inward/outward and vertically relative to the seat. The armrest is shaped to receive a baby thereon.

The armrest comprises an arm support that is vertically adjustable by an adjuster that is held on the vehicle frame. The adjustment takes place here independently of a storage compartment. In this way, the vertical position of the armrest can be adapted to the size of the occupants of the seat. The adjuster can be operated with a manual drive or electrically as an alternative, for example. The adjuster has a guide fixed to the vehicle frame and a slide that carries the arm support and that is vertically shiftable on the guide.

A motor vehicle armrest includes an armrest body that is disposed on at least one side in a vehicle-width direction of a seat cushion so as to support of an arm of an occupant. The armrest body has an inflation portion that is inflated toward the occupant in the vehicle-width direction so as to support the occupant in the vehicle-width direction.

A system may include a seat assembly. The seat assembly may include a seat base, a seat portion mounted to the seat base, and an armrest assembly configured to be in an up position or a down position. The armrest assembly may include a handle operable by a user to lock or unlock at least one functionality of at least one adjustable seat assembly feature. Operation of the handle may be configured at least to: unlock the at least one functionality of at least one adjustable seat assembly feature while locking the armrest assembly from moving between the up position and the down position.

The invention relates inter alia to an actuator (15) for operating an accessory in the vehicle passenger compartment, having an actuating element movable relative to a housing between an unactuated position and an actuated position in opposite adjustment directions (y, y,) and is urged by a resetting device into the unactuated position, wherein it is possible for the actuating element to displace an element of the accessory that cooperates with the actuating element. The special feature is that the resetting device comprises at least one spring (18) configured as a spiral spring and having an outer end (25) and an inner end (26).

An occupant protection apparatus includes: a vehicle seat arranged in an inner space of a side wall of a vehicle; a side airbag device provided in the side wall or the vehicle seat and including a side airbag to be inflated and deployed between the side wall and the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat includes: a pressure-receiving portion to receive a load from an occupant seated on the vehicle seat; and a frame to support the pressure-receiving portion. The occupant protection apparatus further comprising an electronic control circuit configured to perform moving the pressure-receiving portion so that the occupant is pushed away from the side wall before the occupant comes into contact with the side airbag at an activation time when the side airbag device is activated by an impact acting on the side wall from an outside of the vehicle and the side airbag is inflated and deployed.

A safety belt fastening device includes a fastening arm. One end of the fastening arm is pivotally connected to a seat body of a child safety seat. The safety belt fastening device further includes an engaging structure connected to the fastening arm and for engaging with the seat body of the child safety seat, and a driving structure for driving the engaging structure to engage with the seat body in a locking status or to disengage from the seat body in a releasing status. The safety belt fastening device and the child safety seat therewith have advantages of easy operation, simple structure, high fastening strength for a safety belt, that the safety belt is not easy to fall off, that the safety belt is easy to release, and capability of meeting needs of different users.
