A rail and carrier system for a removable seat of a motor vehicle includes two lower rails fixedly attached laterally along a floor of the motor vehicle. a first upper rail is nested with and laterally slidable within the first lower rail, and a second upper rail is nested with and laterally slidable within the second lower rail. First and second cross brackets are laterally spaced apart and arranged perpendicular to the first and second upper rails are connected to the first and second upper rails. A cover is connected to and extends between the first and second cross brackets. A spring-loaded lock holds the first upper rail in place with the first lower rail, and a towel bar releases the lock, enabling the first and second upper rails to slide within the first and second lower rails.

A seat for a motor vehicle includes a seatbelt integrated into a seat back of the seat and a seatbelt mechanism for providing access to the seatbelt. The seat further includes an extended base attached to the seat, a raised and curved section of the extended base for transitioning the seatbelt from a vertical orientation inside the seatback to a horizontal orientation for use, an arcuate slot atop the extended base, the seatbelt being threaded through the arcuate slot, the arcuate slot preventing the seatbelt from becoming tangled and misaligned, a garnish for covering the seatbelt mechanism, a fastener, and a cap for covering the fastener. The fastener fastens the garnish and the cap to the extended base.

The seat device includes: wires (31), fixed at a car body frame, and adapted to fix a child seat; opening portions (33), disposed at a right seat (13A), and adapted to enable the child seat to be connected to the wires (31); and covering portions (35), a base end of each being mounted at the right seat (13A), a front end being a free end, and the covering portions (35) covering the opening portions (33). Each of the covering portions (35) includes a fixing portion (36). The fixing portion (36) is disposed at a front end of the covering portion (35), and is clamped between the right seat (13A) and a wire (31) so as to be fixed.

A vehicle seat includes: a seat back; a seat cushion; an engagement portion having a U-shaped portion that is configured to engage with an attachment mechanism of a child safety seat; and a cover member adapted to cover at least a portion of the engagement portion. The engagement portion is disposed between a seat back and a seat cushion. The cover member includes: a flap having one end fixed to a cover of the vehicle seat and the other end serving as a free end; and a tab provided on an upper or lower surface of the flap, the tab projecting on an inner side of the U-shaped portion when the free end is inserted between the seat back and the cover member or between the seat cushion and the engagement portion.

A backrest of a vehicle seat comprises a backrest frame, at least one headrest attachment rod, and a backrest upholstery. The backrest upholstery comprises at least one rear central shell, fixed to a rear face of the backrest frame. The rear central shell comprises at least one hole traversed by the at least one headrest attachment rod.

This invention relates in general to supports and in particular to collapsible portable travel supports for use in conjunction with a seat during travel. The support device has a main body of flexible material and a self-deploying support structure has a plurality of hollow sections having a slip joint connection and a chord secured to opposing ends of the structure and passing longitudinally through all sections. The self-deploying support structure is transformable between storage and deployed configurations where the slip joint connections of each section are mated to form a unitary structure. An attachment mechanism associated with the body attaches the body to the self-deploying support structure. The main body and self-deploying support structure are configured to form a self-supporting structure spaced apart from the seat in use and from a structure in front of the seat supporting the user.

An occupant support a seat bottom and a seat back. The seat back includes a backrest including and an upper-back adjuster coupled to the backrest at least partially movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The occupant support is at least partially covered in an outer trim including a backrest portion and an adjuster portion that moves relative to the backrest portion. The outer trim blocks view of an interior of the seat back.

A seatback carrier module includes first and second side portions spaced-apart from one another and interconnected by an upper portion. A cradle portion is disposed along the first and second side portions and the upper portion of the seatback carrier module. The cradle portion includes inner and outer edges with a rearwardly extending body portion. A mounting portion is disposed along a portion of the inner edge of the cradle portion. The mounting portion includes inner and outer edges with a body portion disposed therebetween. The mounting portion further includes a rearwardly extending sidewall disposed along the inner edge of the mounting portion. An airbag assembly is received within the cradle portion and has an inverted U-shaped configuration to substantially surround the outer perimeter of the seatback frame. The airbag assembly is an elongate member defining an overhead airbag assembly.

A seatback assembly includes a front carrier module having a mounting portion with an inverted U-shaped outer perimeter edge. A plurality of doors includes individual doors that are hingedly coupled to the outer perimeter edge of the front carrier module. Each door of the plurality of doors is operable between open and closed positions. An airbag carrier module includes an inverted U-shaped raceway with an open front portion. The airbag carrier module is operably coupled to the front carrier module, such that the doors of the front carrier module selectively open and close the open front portion of the raceway of the airbag carrier module.

To reduce an amount of rear protrusion of a vehicle seat equipped with an airbag module configured to deploy rearward, in a vehicle seat (1) provided with a seat cushion (3) and a seat back (4), the seat back includes: a seat back frame (7) including a pair of left and right side frames (11) extending in a vertical direction and an upper frame (12) connecting upper ends of the side frames to each other; an airbag module (43) supported by an upper half of the seat back frame via a bracket (31); and a skin member (9) covering the seat back frame, the bracket, and the airbag module from a rear side thereof, wherein a part of the skin member corresponding to the airbag module is provided with a frangible portion (80) configured to open upon inflation of an airbag (45).
