A reclinable passenger seat including a base, a seat pan frame having a front end connected to the base via a first fixed pivot, a support arm having one end connected to the base via a second fixed pivot aft of the first fixed pivot, and a backrest frame having an upper backrest member and a lower backrest member. An opposed end of the support arm is pivotally connected to the lower backrest member at a first location spaced from the upper backrest member. A rear end of the seat pan frame is pivotally connected to the lower backrest member at a second location between the first location and the upper backrest member. The backrest frame and seat pan frame are configured to move simultaneously between a sitting configuration and a reclined configuration through pivoting motion about the fixed pivots and about the two locations.

A method for operating a vehicle seat device for motor vehicles, which has a vehicle seat with a seat part and a backrest, associated with the seat part, and at least one actuator which is associated with the seat part and/or the backrest and by means of which the vehicle seat can be brought automatically into a sitting position and into a reclining position, wherein the movement takes place as a function of a desired position that can be specified by a user and of at least one detectable vehicle seat state. It is provided that a current temperature is monitored as the vehicle seat state and that if the monitored temperature falls below a limit temperature, the vehicle seat is brought into a sitting position or left in a current sitting position regardless of the desired position.

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.

A vehicle retrofit system comprising a storage receptacle, a collapsible privacy/shower curtain receptacle, a folding counter assembly, and a seat/bed conversion assembly each of which is configured to be contained and deployed within an interior of a vehicle.

An aircraft passenger seat comprising a seat pan, a back rest, and a leg rest is provided. The back rest is moveable between an upright position and a reclined position in which the back rest is substantially parallel with a deployed position of the seat pan. The back rest can also be fixed in at least one intermediate position between the upright position and the reclined position. The leg rest is moveable between a retracted position in which the leg rest is substantially perpendicular to the deployed position of the seat pan and an extended position in which it is positioned to support the legs of a passenger. The seat pan is moveable between a deployed position in which the seat pan occupies a first space and wherein a passenger can sit on the seat pan, and a stowed position in which the seat pan is moved out of the first space such that a passenger can stand in the first space.

A vehicle seat includes a seat framework configured including a first frame and a second frame that are capable of supporting an occupant, and a link including a first swing shaft via which the first frame is coupled to one end side of the link and a second swing shaft via which the second frame is coupled to another end side of the link; a first cover that is attached to a back face of the first frame on an opposite side from a front face configured to support the occupant, that covers a back face side of the first frame; and a second cover that is attached to a back face of the second frame on an opposite side from a front face configured to support the occupant, that covers a back face side of the second frame.

A vehicle seat includes a seat back, a seat base, a base structure that is connected to the seat base, a guide structure, and a primary pivot joint that connects the guide structure to the base structure so that the guide structure is able to rotate with respect to the base structure to change a recline angle of the seat back with respect to the seat base. The vehicle seat also includes a slide structure that is connected to the seat back and has a sliding connection to the guide structure, and a link that connects the seat back to the seat base so that the slide structure slides with respect to the guide structure during rotation of the guide structure with respect to the base structure.

A truck cabin comprises a driver's seat, a bunk, and a frame, the frame comprising a rear structure delimiting the rear of the cabin along a longitudinal axis of the cabin. The bunk has the shape of a rectangular cuboid, with two parallel lateral faces, a front face, a rear face parallel to the front face, a lower face, and an upper face parallel to the lower face. The bunk is located between the driver's seat and the rear structure and extends along a transversal axis of the cabin, alongside the rear structure. The bunk is rotatable between a horizontal position, in which the upper face is horizontal and oriented upwardly, and a vertical position, in which the upper face is vertical. In the vertical position, the lower face of the bunk is oriented towards the rear structure and the upper face is oriented towards the driver's seat.
