A computer-implemented method for moving an occupant of a vehicle seat to open airway position after a vehicle crash event. The vehicle seat having a seat cushion, a backrest and a headrest. The method includes detecting occurrence of a vehicle crash event, and moving at least a portion of the backrest and/or headrest backwards and pulling an occupant of the vehicle seat backwards towards the backrest by powered retraction of a seat belt of the occupant by means of a seat belt retractor.

Provided is a vehicle seat having a seat back that can be folded forward, in which the buckle is prevented from interfering with the seat hack when the seat back is folded forward. A seat cushion frame (F1) rotatably attached to the seat back frame (F2) includes a pair of side frames (11) extending in a fore and aft direction, a front frame (12) extending between front parts of the side frames, and a rear frame (13) extending between rear parts of the side frames and provided with a curved portion (13A) protruding forward in a middle part thereof. A buckle support arm is located behind the curved portion, the curved portion being dimensioned so as not to interfere with the buckle when the buckle support arm is in a stowed position.

An assembly for a vehicle includes a panel. The panel includes a first channel and a second channel spaced from and parallel to each other. The first and second channels are designed to engage wheels of a wheelchair. The assembly includes a latch supported by the panel. The latch is moveable between an unlatched position and a latched position. The latch is retracted from the first channel in the unlatched position and elongated across the first channel in the latched position. The panel includes releasable connections designed to releasably engage a vehicle floor.

Disclosed is a retrofitting seatbelt system for a motor coach, the system including: a base plate, the base plate configured to connect to a floor rail of the motor coach; a longitudinal post configured to support a belt, the longitudinal post defines a longitudinal post inner end connected to the base plate, wherein the longitudinal post extends away from the base plate in a longitudinal direction to a longitudinal post outer end, wherein the longitudinal post defines a forward-side that faces a forward direction, and an aft-side that faces an aft direction, wherein the forward direction and the aft direction are disposed along a forward-aft axis; and a first motion damper connected to the longitudinal post near the longitudinal post outer end, the first motion damper extends in the aft direction, beyond the aft-side of the longitudinal post.

In an anchor device, when a pin restriction portion of a spring plate moves so as to ride up over a large diameter portion of an attachment pin, a tilting movement tab of the spring plate undergoes tilting movement, and a cover undergoes tilting movement together with the tilting movement tab. When the plate is moved toward a device length direction one side with respect to the attachment pin and the large diameter portion moves to a device length direction another side relative to the pin restriction portion, the tilting movement tab elastically recovers and the cover returns to its original position. This enables whether or not the large diameter portion has moved to the device length direction another side relative to the pin restriction portion to be confirmed by visual inspection of the cover.

A vehicle structure with an anchor unit includes a floor panel, a left anchor member and a right anchor member. The floor panel is disposed below a rear seat. The left anchor member and the right anchor member are connected to the floor panel by a left anchor attachment portion and a right anchor attachment portion. The floor panel has a left raised sidewall and a right raised sidewall extending in an upward/downward direction, and the left anchor attachment portion and the right anchor attachment portion are provided on the left raised sidewall and the right raised sidewall.
