Described are passenger seats having a seat frame and a seat bottom slidingly and pivotally attached to the seat frame that, when the passenger seats are reclined, are configured to articulate forward from an upright configuration of the passenger seat to a second seat position corresponding to a reclined configuration of the passenger seat. The seat bottom can include an aft articulating mechanism that defines a declining first path in an aft-to-forward direction to cause the aft end of the seat bottom to drop when the seat bottom articulates forward; and a forward articulating mechanism connected with the seat bottom near a forward end of the seat bottom that defines a second path shaped to cause the forward end of the seat bottom to move upward when the seat bottom articulates forward, such that the seat bottom tilts aft in response to articulating forward when the passenger seat is reclined.

A tilt structure to be provided allows the tilt of a console to be changed through simple motion and has a simple configuration. A link mechanism (a mechanism similar to a slider crank mechanism) composed of three turning pairs and one sliding pair is formed using a first frame 20, a second frame 25, a slider 37, and a connection member 30. The tilt structure includes a control member 40 or 47 for fixing or unfixing the tilt of the second frame 25. The control member 40 or 47 is provided controllably in order to lock or unlock motion of the link mechanism.

A seat assembly for use in a vehicle is repositionable between a design seating position, a folded position, and a slouch position. The seat assembly comprises a seatback fixedly coupled to a first recliner bracket, a seat cushion having a cushion bracket, a recliner pivotally connecting a second recliner bracket to the first recliner bracket, and a hockey stick assembly pivotally connected to the seatback and the first recliner bracket through the recliner and the second recliner bracket. The cushion bracket is pivotally connected to the hockey stick assembly and the second recliner bracket through a free pivot joint. The seat cushion is coupled to a track that is slidably coupled to a fixed track. The hockey stick assembly repositions the seatback between the design seating position and the slouch position as the track slides along the fixed track.

A mobile table assembly of a vehicle includes: a guide rail disposed in a roof of a vehicle; a supporting bar having an upper end coupled to the guide rail and movable along the guide rail, and a lower end extending in a direction away from the roof and positioned in an interior of the vehicle; a rail actuator configured to move the upper end of the supporting bar on the guide rail; and a table coupled to the lower end of the supporting bar.

Disclosed herein is a walk-in device for a seat. The walk-in device includes: a rotor configured to operate in conjunction with a recliner during a walk-in operation; a puller configured to operate in conjunction with the rotor during the walk-in operation, and to operate only in conjunction with the recliner without operating in conjunction with the rotor during a folding operation; a rotor spring configured to provide an elastic force to the rotor in a return direction; a puller spring configured to provide an elastic force to the puller in a return direction; and a base plate configured to rotatably install the rotor and the puller on a cushion frame of the seat, wherein the rotor and the puller are configured to set up a single rotation point with respect to the base plate via a hinge shaft.

A multi-position seat configured to maximize usability thereof through various changes in the positions of a seat back and a seat cushion may include a height assembly configured to move a base frame mounted on a vehicle body, a slide assembly configured to move a seat cushion frame, which is positioned above the base frame and is connected to the base frame via a link mechanism, upwards and downwards by sliding action of the link mechanism in a forward and backward direction, a tilt assembly configured to move a rear end portion of the seat cushion frame upwards and downwards, and a seat back frame hingedly coupled to a rear end portion of the base frame to be reclined.

A motor vehicle and occupant seat combination may include any one or combination of means for selectively preventing forward pivoting of at least one vehicle seat, one or more web attenuators for dampen forces applied thereby by one or more respective shoulder webs of at least one occupant restraint system, at least one sleeve received on at least one shoulder web and a corresponding sleeve adjuster for adjusting a position of the sleeve along the respective shoulder web, and one or more ratcheting web retractors for selectively tightening a lap web or a thigh web about an occupant of at least one vehicle seat.

A seating system include a seat assembly including a first seat, a track assembly, and/or an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to control movement of the first seat along the track assembly. The first seat may be configured to move along the track assembly in at least one direction. The ECU may be configured to communicate with an external network. The ECU may be configured to move the first seat proximate a door of a vehicle in response to information received from the external network. The first seat may include an actuator. The ECU may be configured to control movement of the first seat via the actuator, such as in response to the information received from the external network. The ECU may include a first seat profile including information corresponding to the first seat. The ECU may communicate with the external network regarding the first seat profile.
