A vehicle seat is thinned in a seat front to back direction. In the vehicle seat, a center seat has a seat back frame, a headrest which is provided above the seat back frame, a pillar which supports the headrest, and brackets which mount the pillar to the seat back frame. The pillar is arranged between the brackets and the seat back frame, the brackets have a weld bead which holds the pillar and a portion where a welding trace to be mounted to the seat back frame is formed, and the weld bead and the portion where the welding trace is formed are arranged at different positions in a direction which intersects a front to back direction of the center seat.

An embodiment armrest assembly for a vehicle includes an armrest including a main body and a lid, an armrest board to which the armrest is rotatably coupled and in which the armrest is accommodated in an erect state, and a skirt coupled to a rear bezel housing of the lid and to the armrest board and correspondingly covering a rear space of the lid when the armrest is rotated forward, wherein the skirt has a panel shape and includes a hard material.

The present invention provides an aircraft seat unit comprising a main seat, and a companion seat, the main seat and the companion seat facing each other, wherein the companion seat comprises a seat pan, providing a seat pan surface, and a moveable seat element, the moveable seat element being moveable in relation to the seat pan between a stowed position, in which the companion seat provides an additional support surface for a main passenger in the main seat, and a deployed position, in which the moveable seat element provides a backrest surface for a companion passenger in the companion seat. The invention also provides a method of deploying and a method of stowing a companion seat.

A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion, a seat back pivotally moveable between an upright position and a reclined position, and at least one upper arm support selectively moveable between a stowed position and an extended position, the at least one upper arm support adapted to provide support for an upper arm of an occupant when the seat back of the vehicle seat is in the reclined position and the at least one upper arm support is in the extended position.

A vehicle seating arrangement includes a first seat and a first seatback. A side-wing seat extends from the first seat. A surface of the side-wing seat is vertically displaced from a surface of the first seat.

A vehicle seating arrangement includes a seat and a seatback. One or more bolsters are integrated with at least one of the seat and the seatback. The one or more bolsters are deployable for use as an armrest.

A rear-side end of a protrusion configured to prevent an armrest stored in a storage space from pivoting to a usage position is formed at a side of a seat back, the side defining at the storage space. The armrest has a pad and a cover covering the pad. The pad has a back-side end engageable with the rear-side end. The rear-side end of the protrusion is arranged on a path of the back-side end of a recess, the path created when the armrest pivots from the usage position to the storage position. The back-side end of the recess is arranged rearward of the rear-side end of the protrusion when the armrest is at the storage position.

Armrest arrangement for a vehicle interior having an armrest, a container-receiving device which is provided for receiving a container and arranged at least partially in a cavity of the armrest, and a guide device by which the container-receiving device is guided relative to the cavity along a pull-out direction between a retracted inoperative position and an extended receiving position. The guide device is formed on a rest carrier structure which is provided for supporting the armrest and mounted securely on the vehicle in the assembled state.

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).

Armrest arrangement having a positionally fixed carrier structure, an armrest structure pivotably displaceable relative thereto about a pivot axis between a functional position and a non-use position. An inclination adjusting device is assigned to the armrest structure and has an adjustment element which, in the functional position, is supported indirectly on the carrier structure and which is, with respect to an adjustment axis, movable relative to the armrest structure such that the inclination of the armrest structure relative to the carrier structure in the functional position is adjustable by an adjustment movement of the adjustment element. The adjustment axis is oriented parallel to the pivot axis, wherein the at least one adjustment element is mounted for rotation about the adjustment axis and is supported on a guide track assigned to the carrier structure.
