An assembly includes a seat bottom including a panel pivotable from a first position to a second position. The assembly includes a track supported by the seat bottom. The assembly includes a spring in the track and urging the panel toward the second position. The assembly includes a pyrotechnic actuator maintaining the spring in compression and actuatable to release the spring.

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 automatic displacement device for use in a carrier includes at least one weight mount, at least one actuator, and at least one stability regulator. The weight mount can hold at least one heavy object accommodated in the carrier' body. The actuator is coupled to the weight mount. The stability regulator is electrically communicated to the actuator and includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor can measure a state associated with an angle of the carrier's body and output a signal representative of the state. The controller calculates a tilt of the carrier according to the signal outputted from the sensor and is capable of commanding the actuator to move the weight mount in view of the tilt to perform a compensation on the carrier.

The invention mainly concerns a headrest, in particular for an aircraft seat, including a central portion and at least one wing positioned at at least one end of the central portion, wherein the headrest includes at least one hinge interposed between the wing and the central portion, the hinge being configured to allow at least two relative movements of the wing relative to the central portion about at least one axis.

A seat opening concealment structure is provided including a cover member that covers part of a vehicle seat, and that includes an outer wall including a curved face portion with a circular arc shaped cross-section profile, the outer wall being formed with an opening having an elongated profile along a peripheral direction of the curved face portion, and the outer wall being formed with a larger radius of curvature at an inner face of the curved face portion than a radius of curvature at an outer face of the curved face portion. The seat opening concealment structure further includes a rotatable body that is supported via a coupling section inserted through the opening so as to be rotatable relative to the cover member, and a concealing sheet that is provided with an attachment hole at which the coupling section is attached, that is longer than a length of the opening, that is supported at two width direction end portions of the concealing sheet so as to be slidable along the inner face of the outer wall, and that covers the opening.

Armrest (10) comprising a base (19) and an arm (13) that can be moved by a mount (17) between at least one use position and a non-use position, wherein the arm (13) is movable by the mount (17) axially of a pivot axis (a) between a proximal and a distal position, and is pivotable about the pivot axis (a) between a primary and a secondary position, wherein the armrest (10) has an actuator (30) comprising a motor drive having a drive part (29) that is movable between a first and a second position in order to displace the arm (13) in a first direction (y.sub.1) between the non-use position and the use position, at least in part, wherein the actuator (30) has at least one spring (21) that can be tensioned upon movement of the drive part (29) or an additional drive part (29) of the actuator (30), wherein the arm (13) can be moved axially, in a second direction (y.sub.2) by the spring (21), which second direction is directed opposite the first direction (y.sub.1).

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.

The present disclosure relates to an inductive power coupler adapted to supply at least one electrical consumer attached to a vehicle seat in a vehicle. The inductive power coupler may have a transmitter with at least one transmitter coil that is electrically connected with a power source via a power line attached to a floor of the vehicle. The inductive power coupler may also have a receiver with at least one receiver coil, that is electrically connected with the at least one electrical consumer. The receiver is attached to the seat and at least one transmitter coil is inductively coupled to at least one receiver coil.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat having a seat part and a backrest part comprising a first backrest portion and a second backrest portion arranged above it in the seat height direction, wherein the second backrest portion is displaceable relative to the first backrest portion by means of a displacement movement directed at least in the seat width direction, wherein in a first displaced position of the second backrest portion a mechanical interaction is formed between the first backrest portion and the second backrest portion, which secures the first displaced position of the second backrest portion and which can be released by means of a force exerted on the second backrest portion and acting in the direction of the displacement movement.

A passenger seat comprises a backrest and a seat element that includes a first portion adjoining the backrest and a second portion that can pivot between a rest position and an operational position. In the operational position, the second portion of the seat element increases a depth of a seat pan of the seat element that can be used by the user. A locking mechanism is configured to prevent a pivoting movement of the second portion of the seat element from the operational position thereof into the rest position thereof when a weight of a user sitting in the passenger seat acts on the seat element.
