The invention relates to a vehicle seat comprising a vehicle seat upper part and a vehicle seat lower part, which are spaced apart from one another along a height axis and are connected to one another by means of a scissor frame arrangement, wherein the scissor frame arrangement comprises at least one inner swinging arm and at least one outer swinging arm, wherein the at least one inner swinging arm and the at least one outer swinging arm are mechanically coupled, whereby an angle of inclination of the vehicle seat upper part relative to the vehicle seat lower part can be specified, wherein the mechanical coupling comprises an arm element and a first connecting element pivotably connected thereto, wherein the angle of inclination can be specified by a length of the first connecting element.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat comprising a vehicle seat upper part and a vehicle seat lower part, which are spaced apart from one another along a height axis Z and are connected to one another by means of a scissor frame arrangement, wherein at least two damping elements are provided between the vehicle seat upper part and the vehicle seat lower part, the at least two damping elements each extending, inclined at an angle of attack α, relative to a first axis parallel to the height axis.

A latch assembly for a vehicle seating assembly includes a support plate having an arm. The arm defines a receiving well. A retention member is coupled with the support plate. A latch member is operably coupled with a seat base frame and the arm of the support plate. The latch member is selectively engaged with the retention member. A release assembly is operably coupled with the latch member. The release assembly includes a latch link coupled with the latch member at a first end. A rod link is rotatably coupled with a second end of the latch link and is fixedly coupled with a torque rod. Movement of the first end of the latch link toward a front of the seat base frame is configured to rotate the latch member and the torque rod.

A motor vehicle including at least one individual seat is provided. The individual seat includes a seat part and a backrest. The seat part has a seat-part main shell and seat-part side shells arranged thereon on respective sides. The backrest has a backrest main shell and backrest side shells arranged thereon on respective sides. A rail system is provided, which moves the respective seat-part side shell and/or the respective backrest side shell in a desired or specified position by way of actuators.

A walk-in apparatus for a vehicular seat provides a space behind the vehicular seat even when a seat back is not folded forwards during a walk-in motion. Since the rear end of a seat cushion is raised when the walk-in motion is performed, a space for accommodating the rear seat passenger's feet is provided under the seat cushion, thereby improving the rear seat passenger's comfort.

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.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat with a lower part for arrangement on a body part of a commercial vehicle and an upper part for storing a seat part, wherein the vehicle seat has a longitudinal adjustment device, by means of which the upper part is displaceable relative to the lower part in the longitudinal direction and/or width direction of the vehicle seat, and a rotational adjustment device working independently of the longitudinal adjustment device, by means of which rotational adjustment device at least parts of the upper part are rotatable relative to the lower part about an axis in the height direction of the vehicle seat, wherein a virtual plane is provided, which is arranged intersectingly parallel to a longitudinal direction and a width direction of the vehicle seat as well as the longitudinal adjustment device and the rotational adjustment device, wherein the longitudinal adjustment device and the rotational adjustment device are designed to be electrically driven.

A method can be used for automatic lateral repositioning of a child safety seat on a back seat of a motor vehicle. The child safety seat is configured to move laterally across the back seat between lateral sides of the motor vehicle. The method includes determining the lateral position of the child safety seat on the back seat of the motor vehicle, determining a current or intended parking situation of the motor vehicle, deciding which lateral side of the motor vehicle is a preferred access side for the determined parking situation, and laterally repositioning the child safety seat to a preferred position at the preferred access side of the motor vehicle.

A seating system for at least one occupant in a vehicle interior is disclosed. The seating system may provide a seat assembly with 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 be made by at least two of recline movement or swivel movement or tilt movement. Recline movement may be generally translating movement of the seat structure. Swivel movement may be rotational movement of the seat structure. Tilt movement may be generally translating movement of the seat structure transverse to recline movement. The base assembly may be a mechanism configured to facilitate movement of the seat structure relative to the base assembly.

A vehicle module system is disclosed. The system includes a track assembly operably coupled with a body of a vehicle. One or more modules may be removably and slidably coupled with the track assembly. The modules include base structure defining an attachment point. A rail feature is disposed along a bottom portion of the base structure. An attachment feature having a retainer for removably coupling to the attachment point to the base structure.
