Reversible tray apparatus
An apparatus includes a reversible tray. The reversible tray includes a first surface including a marking board. The reversible tray is configured to be used in a first configuration in which the first surface faces in a particular direction. A second surface is on a reverse side of the reversible tray and includes a padding. The reversible tray is further configured to be used in a second configuration in which the second surface faces in the particular direction. A pouch is attached to the reversible tray. The pouch is configured to receive and secure an object to the reversible tray.
Vehicle seat armrest coupled airbag modules
In some embodiments, an airbag module may comprise an airbag cover configured to be positioned within a vehicle seat and comprising an opening. The opening may be configured to receive a structural element of the vehicle seat therethrough, such as an armrest mount. The module may further comprise an airbag cushion positioned within the airbag cover and configured to deploy from the airbag cover such that forces from deployment of the airbag cushion are directed applied to the structural element, in some cases directing these forces to the seat frame.
CONVERTIBLE WORKSTATION AND DINETTE
A dinette assembly includes a cabinet assembly with a workstation desk top that can converted between a compact position and an extended position. The dinette assembly also includes a table assembly with features that allow the table assembly to rotate, expand, and/or slide to allow the dinette assembly to be converted into different arrangements.
CONSOLE TABLE
A console table for a vehicle interior, including: a pair of deployable tables each pivotally mounted to an exterior of a housing of the console table, the pair of deployable tables being capable of moving from a stowed position wherein the pair of deployable tables are adjacent to the exterior of the housing of the console table to a deployed position wherein the pair of deployable tables are deployed for use.
Camper systems and vehicles having a translocatable work area
A work area is provided and includes a substantially horizontal work surface that can be translocated between a first location and a second location. The work area includes one or more tracks along which the work area can be moved between a first and a second location and the work surface remains slidably connected and substantially horizontal during translocation between a first location and second location. The first location may include a floor above which the work surface is situated when the work area is located in the first location and the second location may include a base above which the work surface is situated when it is in the second location. The floor and the base are not level with each other and when the work surface is located in the first location, its height above the floor is substantially the same as its height above the base when it is in the second location.
Occupant protection apparatus
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.
VEHICLE SEAT DEVICE
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.
VEHICLE HAVING RECONFIGURABLE HEATED SHELF
A vehicle includes a body defining an interior cabin having at least one seat and a tailgate rearward of the at least one seat at a rear end of the cabin interior, a shelf configured to extend between lateral sides of the cabin interior in a region between the at least one seat and the liftgate. The shelf is configured to be arranged in one of a first shelf position, a second shelf position and a seat backrest position, and a heating device operable to heat the shelf. The vehicle also includes an orientation sensor to sense orientation of the shelf in one of the first position, second position and backrest position, and a controller controlling temperature of the heating element based on the sensed orientation of the shelf.
Table device for a vehicle, and vehicle
A table device for a vehicle includes a table element positionable from a non-working position to a working position, where in the non-working position the table element is arrangeable vertically in a central console. The table element is disposed on a bracket and the bracket is electrically positionable by a rotary drive where the rotary drive is configured for swivelling the bracket about an axis running parallel to a transverse axis of the vehicle in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle from the non-working position to an operational position for assuming the working position of the table element. The table element has two parts which, in the non-working position, are folded-up and abut against one another and which, for converting to the working position, are hinged about an axis running horizontally such that respective faces of the two parts run at least essentially in a horizontal plane.
ANTIMICROBIAL ADHESIVE FILMS FOR AIRCRAFT FIXTURES
Described are self-cleaning films that can be removably attached to passenger cabin furnishings to prevent the spread of pathogens. A self-cleaning film can include an adherable element having an adhesive layer (407, 507), an antimicrobial material connected with the adhesive layer (407, 507) to sanitize the adhesive self-cleaning antimicrobial element (627), and an abrasion-resistant surface that resists damage to the self-cleaning film during repeated washings. The self-cleaning element is sized to conform to a exposed surface of a passenger seat (101).
