A drive member including a motor with a longitudinal axis and with at an actuating end a gear mechanism. A support member carries a displacement rod that is movably mounted on the support member. The motor is with its actuating end connected to the support member. The gear mechanism includes a hinge member allowing pivoting of the displacement rod about a pivot axis that is oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis. The gear mechanism engages with the displacement rod and the support member is hingingly attached to a fixation bracket in a hinge connection that is hingeable about an axis which is oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis. The drive member can be used for the adjustment of the backrest of a rear seat in a motor vehicle.

An automobile seat and an automobile comprising same, the automobile seat comprising a seat base, a seat back and a seat back adjusting mechanism; the seat back adjusting mechanism comprises a rotating part which is disposed at the lower end of the seat back; the rotating part rotates about the rear end part of the seat base to enable the angle between the seat back and the seat to be changed, and the center of rotation of the rotating part is located below the upper end surface of the seat base. A small step difference may be formed between the lower end part of the seat back and the upper end surface of the seat base when the seat back rotates, and a step difference may even be avoided. The lower end part of the seat back basically does not abut against and press the back of a passenger.

The present disclosure relates to a power seat integrated control method. One embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a signal input step of receiving a power seat operation signal input that a user inputs through an interface of a vehicle; a determination step of determining an operating condition for operating a motor module that is built into the power seat and moves a specific area of the power seat; and an information transmission step of transmitting driving information for controlling the motor module in accordance with a type of the operation signal. The motor module includes a driving motor and a motor controller which controls the driving motor, and one LIN communication bus is provided between the integrated controller and each power seat. In the information transmission step, the integrated controller transmits the driving information to the motor controller through the LIN communication bus.

A system and method for adjusting seats of different vehicles, wherein the vehicles comprise means for retrieving an identifier of a seat user, wherein the system comprises means for storing data of seat adjustments made by an identified user in a first vehicle which are associated with the user identifier, comprises means for transmitting the seat adjustment data of the first vehicle and user identifier data to a second vehicle of a different type than the first vehicle, and comprises means for converting seat adjustment data of the first vehicle into seat adjustment data of the second vehicle so as to offer the user similar comfort in vehicles of different types.

A vehicle seat includes a seat bottom, a seat back, and an armrest. A human-machine interface for controlling features of the vehicle seat or vehicle is coupled to the armrest.

A vehicle seat support comprising two rails extending in a longitudinal direction, a central module slidably mounted on the rails and suitable for supporting the vehicle seat, a footrest slidably mounted on the rails in front of the central module and suitable for receiving the feet of an occupant seated on the seat, a first actuation system able to cause the central module to slide along the rails, and a second actuation system able to cause the footrest to slide along the rails independently of the central module.

A motor vehicle seat locking device, in particular a rear seat backrest locking device, equipped with a retaining bracket that is connected to a vehicle body and can move relative thereto, and with a catch, seat-mounted, for the retaining bracket. According to the invention, the retaining bracket is connected to a rocker that can pivot with respect to a vehicle body-mounted base, about an axis that is at a distance from the bracket.

An electric motor for reciprocating an object along a rod having a predetermined length is provided, comprising: a housing; a rotor unit that is mounted to the inside of the housing via a bearing to be rotatable and comprises a rotor shaft, which is axially-coupled to the rod to linearly reciprocate along the rod during rotation, and a plurality of magnets mounted along the circumference direction of the rotor shaft; and a stator unit comprising at least one stator core and a coil, the at least one stator core comprising a yoke portion of a closed loop shape that is built in the housing so as to surround the circumference of the rotor unit, and a plurality of slot portions extending from the yoke portion toward the rotor, and the coil being wound around at least one slot portion among the plurality of slot portions.

In the present invention, a seatbelt device is provided with: a seat state determination unit that determines the state of a seat; a movable support section that supports a seatbelt within a range of possible movement on a seat back; a movement mechanism that, with a motor, moves the movable support section within the range of possible movement; and a motor control unit that controls the motor in accordance with the usage state of the seat determined by the seat state determination unit. Due to this configuration, the position of the seatbelt is made optimal for an occupant, and the comfort of the occupant is thus improved.

A long rail assembly attached to a vehicle floor for repositioning vehicle seats in a vehicle between a plurality of seating positions. The long rail assembly includes a fixed long rail having a C-shaped cross-section in profile and an elongated opening in a side wall of the long rail, a power rail drive module configured to travel along an interior of the long rail and having at least one striker extending laterally away from the rail drive module through the elongated opening in the side wall of the long rail, and a vehicle seat having at least one leg releasably coupled to the at least one striker by a seat latch assembly.
