A linear actuator for adjusting a seat component of a motor vehicle seat includes a lead screw having a rod head. A fastening means is connected to the rod head and connectable to a first seat component of the motor vehicle seat. The first seat component has a bearing, with the fastening means being insertable into the bearing in a first orientation and lockable in the bearing in a second orientation.

The invention relates to a method for assembling a linear actuator for adjustment of a first seat component of a motor vehicle seat compared to a second seat component of the motor vehicle seat, having the method steps of introducing a first part of the linear actuator in a first alignment into a bearing point of the first seat component, wherein the bearing point is a part of the first seat component or connected to the first seat component, changing the first alignment of the linear actuator to a second alignment and fixing the linear actuator to the second seat component.

A seat moving device for a vehicle, includes: a lead screw having a male thread formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof, and arranged in the front-rear direction of the vehicle under the bottom surface of the interior space of the vehicle; a drive motor; a worm gear rotationally driven by the drive motor; a worm wheel rotating in engagement with the worm gear; a transmission gear rotating integrally with the worm wheel; a belt for power transmission engaged with a spur gear of the transmission gear, and formed in a closed curve shape; a moving wheel having a female thread engaged with the male screw formed on the inner circumferential surface thereof; and a gear box having an accommodation space formed therein for accommodating the worm gear, the worm wheel, the belt for power transmission, and the moving wheel.

Provided is a structure of a leg-rest which is switchable at a front lower end of a seat between a receiving position where a support panel is folded on the seat and a deploying position where the support panel is drawn out to support the leg of a seated person. The structure of the leg-rest can include a fixing bracket which is fixed to the seat; a rotary arm of which one end is rotatably connected to the fixing bracket; a base slider which is slidably coupled to the rotary arm in a longitudinal direction; an extending slider which is slidably coupled to the base slider in a longitudinal direction and mounted with the support panel; and a rotary assist arm of which one end is separated from the rotary arm to be rotatably connected to the fixing bracket and the other end is rotatably connected to the base slider.

A device for sliding a headrest towards the front direction includes a ratchet and a release lever installed in a side link which is a movable part. A release protrusion is formed in the ratchet and disposed almost in parallel with the hinge shaft of the ratchet. The release protrusion of the ratchet is pushed up to release the locking so that the headrest is returned to its original position.

A system and method are disclosed which prevent structural damage to a chair footrest in an aircraft. Aircraft typically include release pins which when pulled out of apertures at different angular positions on arms existing on each side of the seat frame enable a user to set the footrest at different angular positions. To avoid overloading, the pin has been included in a pivotable housing on an axle. Resistance against rotation of the pin is provided using a torsion spring. This enables the resistance to be set at a level that allows the pin to break out to prevent overloading.

A vehicle seat has a footrest, a seat lower part having a seat surface, which seat lower part can be or is coupled to a vehicle structure preferably in a longitudinally displaceable manner, and a seat backrest having a backrest surface. The footrest, provided with a support surface, is movable between a stowing position and a use position and is arranged, in the use position, in front of the seat lower part.

A motor vehicle including at least one individual seat is provided. The individual seat includes a seat part and a backrest. The seat part has a seat-part main shell and seat-part side shells arranged thereon on respective sides. The backrest has a backrest main shell and backrest side shells arranged thereon on respective sides. A rail system is provided, which moves the respective seat-part side shell and/or the respective backrest side shell in a desired or specified position by way of actuators.

An extendible protective element for use in a child safety seat is disclosed. The extendible protective element comprises a first thread component comprising a first external thread and a first internal thread, and a second thread component comprising a second external thread, wherein the first thread component is rotatably connected to the second thread component via the first internal thread of the first thread component and the second external thread of the second thread component.

A support base for a child safety seat includes a pivotable support leg that is operable to retract and expand from the support base, the support leg including multiple segments connected with one another via a plurality of sliding connections, the sliding connections including a first and a second sliding connection. Moreover, the support base includes an actuating button operably coupled to a first and a second latch. The first latch is operable to lock and unlock the first sliding connection for preventing or allowing relative sliding between segments of the first sliding connection. The second latch is operable to lock and unlock the second sliding connection for preventing or allowing relative sliding between segments of the second sliding connection. When the actuating button is actuated, the first latch is urged to unlock the first sliding connection and the second latch is urged to unlock the second sliding connection.
