The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.

The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.

A control device for automotive vehicle seat, intended to control a displacement along the longitudinal direction, of at least one part of the automotive vehicle seat, comprises at least one first control surface, substantially flat, wherein the first control surface extends along a transverse direction of the seat and a command direction, wherein the command direction has at least one component along the longitudinal direction, and wherein the first control surface is configured for controlling the displacement of the part of the vehicle seat along the longitudinal direction as a function of a movement along the command direction of a member of an occupant of the seat in contact with a first zone of the first control surface.

An occupant support adapted for use in a vehicle includes a seat frame and a seat pad. The seat frame is adapted to couple with the vehicle for movement with the vehicle. The seat pad is adapted to provide a comfortable support interface for an occupant of the occupant support.

A seating system for at least one occupant in a vehicle interior is disclosed. The seating system may provide a seat assembly comprising a base assembly configured to be mounted in the vehicle interior and a seat structure configured to be coupled to the base assembly and providing a seat configured for movement relative to the base assembly; movement of the seat relative to the base assembly may comprise at least two of (1) recline movement or (2) swivel movement or (3) tilt movement; recline movement may comprise generally translating movement of the seat structure; swivel movement may comprise rotational movement of the seat structure; tilt movement may comprise generally translating movement of the seat structure transverse to recline movement. The base assembly may comprise a mechanism configured to facilitate movement of the seat structure relative to the base assembly. The seat structure may comprise at least one of a shell; the seat may comprise a cushion, the seat structure may be removable from the base assembly.

The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.

An in-vehicle control apparatus is to be mounted in a vehicle having a self-driving function and a driver's seat that can be turned backward, and includes a direction determination unit configured to determine a direction of the driver's seat, and a control unit configured to control an operation of a device mounted in the vehicle in accordance with the direction that is determined by the direction determination unit. In addition, an in-vehicle control apparatus according to the present embodiment is to be mounted in a vehicle having a self-driving function, and includes a self-driving determination unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is self-driving, and a control unit configured to perform control for restricting an operation of a device mounted in the vehicle in accordance with a determination result of the self-driving determination unit.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat in which a vacant space produced after tipping up a seat cushion can be effectively used as a luggage storage space. The vehicle seat includes: a support leg (6A, 6B, 6C) to support weight related to a seat cushion (2); a leg holding member (8) to hold a lower part (6C) of the support leg (6A, 6B, 6C); and a slide mechanism (18A, 18B) to move the seat cushion (2) and a seat back (3) in a front/back direction. The seat has a tip-up function to rotate the seat cushion (2) so that its front part is in a higher position than its rear part and the seating surface of the seat cushion (2) and the front surface of the seat back (3) face each other, in which the leg holding member (8) is located at a part (18A) of the slide mechanism (18A, 18B) which moves along with the seat cushion (2) and the seat back (3).

A method and apparatus of facilitating ingress or egress of a seat having bolsters includes detecting a potential ingress or egress of an occupant to the seat. Upon detection a configuration of the seat is altered from a first position to a second position, wherein a substantially flat surface is formed by a top of a seat portion of the seat and an associated bolster attached to the seat portion.

The invention relates to a passenger compartment (20) of a vehicle (10) comprising at least one seat (14, 15, 16, 17) and comprising a console (18) that can be placed laterally adjacent the seat.

The particularity is that at least one seat (14, 15) is designed to be adjustable such that it can be moved out of a first position in which it faces in the travel direction, and into a second position, and that at least part of the console (18) is mounted so as to be movable out of a primary position in which it is laterally adjacent the seat, into a secondary position in which it is outside the movement path of the seat during movement of the seat between the first position and the second position.
