A seating arrangement for a vehicle is shown to include a plurality of seats, including at least two front seats, at least two rear seats, and a rear jump seat positioned intermediate the two rear seats. The jump seat comprises a seat back which is positioned rearwardly of the rear seats, and the rear seats are movable laterally between a first position where the rear seats are proximate to each other and generally covering the seat back of the jump seat, and a second position where the rear seats are spaced apart from each other and the seat back of the jump seat is exposed. The arrangement may also include rear seats which are rotatable relative to the seat backs to provide a storage surface.

A seat assembly for use in an automotive vehicle includes a seat back pivotally coupled to a seat cushion and at least one link pivotally coupled between the seat cushion and a seat base. A detent assembly is rotatably coupled to the seat base, the detent assembly actuatable between a use condition for operatively coupling the at least one link and the detent assembly, and an override condition for decoupling the at least one link and the detent assembly. A linkage motor is operatively engaged with the detent assembly for pivoting the at least one link to move the seat assembly between a plurality of positions. Actuation of the detent assembly from the use condition to the override condition allows for manual pivoting of the at least one link to move the seat assembly between the plurality of positions in situations where the linkage motor is unable to be actuated.

Disclosed is a vehicle seat adjustment device including a seat-cushion-tilting frame disposed on a moving rail, the moving rail being coupled to a fixed rail so as to be movable forwards and backwards, and connected to a seatback frame, a tilting device hingedly coupled to a base bracket on the moving rail and to a rear end of the seat-cushion-tilting frame to perform forward tilting of the seat-cushion-tilting frame, a locking device connected to the tilting device to lock and unlock the tilting device, and a probe rotatably disposed between the seatback frame and the tilting device, the probe including a stopper capable of being inserted into a locking groove formed in the seatback frame. Rotation of the probe is restricted when the stopper is inserted into the locking groove.

A vehicle seat (20) has a first seat base (21), a first backrest (22), a first hinge assembly (31) defining a first axis of rotation (41), and a second hinge assembly (32) defining a second axis of rotation (42). The first backrest (22) is rotatable via the first hinge assembly (31) and via the second hinge assembly (32) relative to the seat base (22). The second axis of rotation (42) is spaced apart from the first axis of rotation (41). The first backrest (22) extends between a top end (112) and a bottom end (111) in a first spatial situation (P1) provided for driving.

A vehicle includes a first seat. A seat base is selectively coupled to the first seat via an engaging member extending from a proximal end of the seat base. The seat base has an attached configuration and a detached configuration. The seat base couples with the first seat and forms a second seat facing away from the first seat in the attached configuration. The seat base is decoupled from the first seat in the detached configuration. A backrest is common to the first and second seats in the attached configuration. A frame structure operably couples the first seat with the vehicle. The frame structure includes a receiving member interfacing with the seat base. The engaging member engages the receiving member to couple the seat base with the backrest.

A vehicle seating arrangement includes a first seating assembly, a second seating assembly, and a third seating assembly. The second seating assembly is adjacent to the first seating assembly. Each of the first, second, and third seating assemblies include a seat and a seatback. The seatbacks are pivotably coupled to their respective seats such that the seatbacks are each pivotable between a use position and a forward-dumped position. A remote control is positioned on at least one of the first seating assembly, the second seating assembly, and the third seating assembly. Actuation of the remote control in a first direction transitions the seatback of the first seating assembly toward the forward-dumped position. Actuation of the remote control in a second direction transitions the seatback of at least one of the second and third seating assemblies toward the forward-dumped position.

Apparatus (10) for a vehicle seat, the apparatus (10) comprising a first supporting means (12) and a second supporting means (14), the first supporting means (12) comprising a storage means (16) and the second supporting means (14) being a headrest comprising a cover (18) for covering the storage means (16), the headrest being arranged to have a deployed condition and a retracted condition, wherein in the deployed condition the storage means (16) in the first supporting means (12) is at least partially uncovered, and in the retracted condition the storage means (16) in the first supporting means (12) is covered by the cover (18).

The present invention provides a vehicular seat apparatus capable of increasing a baggage-loading space in the indoor space of a vehicle and of preventing the load of baggage from being applied to the seat. The vehicular seat apparatus includes a seat configured to enable a seat back thereof to be folded, a partition wall coupled to the vehicle floor behind the seat via a moving unit so as to be moved anteroposteriorly and to partition the indoor space in the vehicle into a front passenger space and a rear baggage-loading space, a hinge bracket configured to hingedly couple a seat cushion of the seat to the vehicle floor, a caster mounted to the seat so as to enable the seat to be rolled along the vehicle floor and the partition wall, and a holding unit configured to selectively hold the seat cushion of the seat to the vehicle floor or the partition wall.

A seat for a motor vehicle, the seat comprising a backrest and a seating portion, the backrest being mounted to rotate relative to the seating portion about a substantially transverse axis, a hinge being provided for adjusting a tilt of the backrest relative to the seating portion about the substantially transverse axis, the seat being provided with a plurality of means for controlling a movement of the hinge, the seat further comprising an interface for controlling said movement of the hinge, the interface comprising a central portion and a peripheral portion, the peripheral portion being arranged around the central portion, the interface further comprising a plurality of recesses shaped to receive the plurality of means for controlling the movement of said hinge.

A pivot fitting for a seat, in particular vehicle seat, is configured to adjust an inclination of the seat between at least a use position and at least a non-use position. The pivot fitting may have at least one detection unit which is configured to determine if the seat is in at least one of the use position, any intermediate inclined position or the non-use position.
