A vehicle seat having an adaptable lateral support and method of adapting lateral support are provided. The seat has a seat frame on which a seat cushion and/or a backrest cushion and at least one actuator is retained, wherein the seat cushion and/or the backrest cushion has at least one laterally arranged, resiliently deformable side wall cushion for the lateral support of a person sitting on the vehicle seat and the actuator is operationally connected to the side wall cushion and configured to apply a deformation force for the resilient deformation of the side wall cushion. The vehicle seat has a cable element which connects the side wall cushion to the actuator in a force-transmitting manner so that the actuator introduces the deformation force by tensioning the cable element directly from the cable element into the side wall cushion to deform the side wall cushion to change the lateral support.

A seat for a work vehicle includes a bottom frame fixed to a seat bracket supported to a vehicle body frame, a top frame supported to the bottom frame to be vertically slidable relative thereto, a setting tool for setting the top fame to the bottom fame at a plurality of vertically adjustable position, a seat cushion attached to the bottom frame and a seat back. The seat back consists of an upper seat back attached to the top frame and a lower seat back attached to the bottom frame.

The technology provides a lockout assembly that covers a latching mechanism, where the latching mechanism would enable a passenger to fold down the rear seat(s) of a vehicle. This can be particularly beneficial when the vehicle is operating in an autonomous driving mode, because certain areas within the vehicle may be restricted from passenger access. For instance, access to the trunk or cargo area may be limited to authorized service personnel. The lockout assembly includes a base unit and a cover. The cover is releasably secured to the base unit using one or more clip members. The base unit is fixedly secured to a receptacle of the latching mechanism using one or more fastener members, such as a screw. Once the cover is releasably secure, it may be completely or substantially flush with an inner edge of the receptacle.

A seat for a work vehicle includes a bottom frame fixed to a seat bracket supported to a vehicle body frame, a top frame supported to the bottom frame to be vertically slidable relative thereto, a setting tool for setting the top fame to the bottom fame at a plurality of vertically adjustable position, a seat cushion attached to the bottom frame and a seat back. The seat back consists of an upper seat back attached to the top frame and a lower seat back attached to the bottom frame.

A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion supported on a frame. The seat cushion is removable from the frame to allow access an area beneath the seat. A handle is formed on a projecting portion of the seat cushion to facilitate grasping the seat cushion and to allow the seat cushion to be removed from the frame. A seat stopper is provided for preventing the projecting portion from contacting directly against a console or other surrounding part of the vehicle.

A vehicle seating assembly is provided that includes a seat base, a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat base and having a front portion and a rear portion, and an actuator operable to change a position of the seating assembly. The assembly also includes a capacitive proximity sensor located on the seat back and configured to detect a user touch command and a user pressure command, and a controller for receiving the user touch command and pressure command and controlling the actuator to change a position of the seating assembly based on a user input.

Disclosed is a gearing device for a seat including a first internally toothed gear, a second internally toothed gear, an externally toothed gear, and an eccentric member. The first internally toothed gear includes a rotation center axis. The second internally toothed gear has the rotation center axis in common with the first internally toothed gear and is rotatably supported by the first internally toothed gear. The externally toothed gear is arranged to an inner side of the first and the second internally toothed gear, to thereby mesh with the first and the second internally toothed gears. The eccentric member rotates the externally toothed gear such that a rotation center thereof follows a path around the rotation center axis, rotatably supports the externally toothed gear about the rotation center, and rotates about the rotation center axis in response to a rotational force being externally input thereto.

A seat cushion extension device is provided which can slide a seat cushion via a single spring, and has high assembly efficiency and a low weight due to a simple structure. The seat cushion extension device includes: a base having first and second rack gears provided to face each other; a cushion part provided on an upper portion of the base to move forward/backward; a locking gear part combined with a shaft extending from the cushion part to the base and having a first gear provided to be engaged with the first and second rack gears; and a manipulation part combined with the cushion part to move forward/backward between the cushion part and the first gear, and having a protruding part provided on a lower surface thereof.

A backrest locking mechanism adapted for a backrest and a base of a child safety seat is provided. The backrest is detachably connected to the base. The backrest locking mechanism includes a locking pin, a locking component and an operating component. The locking pin is disposed on the backrest. The locking component is disposed on the base. A locking hole structure is formed on the locking component. The locking pin is configured to detachably engage with the locking hole structure. The operating component is movably disposed on the backrest or the base. The operating component drives the locking pin and the locking hole structure to engage with or disengage from each other when the operating component is operated. Furthermore, a child safety seat having the aforementioned backrest locking mechanism is also provided.

A child restraint spin lock is adapted to be installed in a safety seat that includes a base member and a mid base being rotatable relative to the base member about an axis. The child restraint spin lock includes two locking components and a pivot component. The locking components are adapted to be co-rotatably connected to the mid base, are spaced apart from each other, and are adapted to be movable relative to the base member between a locked position and an unlocked position. The pivot component is adapted to be rotatable relative to the mid base about the axis, and is pivotally connected between the locking components such that movements of the locking components are synchronized by rotation of the pivot component.
