A locking unit of a vehicle may include a mounting portion having a plurality of mounting grooves formed on an upper surface thereof, wherein supporting legs of a vehicle interior portion are configured to be inserted into the mounting grooves, installing the vehicle interior portion in the indoor compartment of the vehicle; and a plurality of locking devices provided on inner peripheries of the mounting grooves inside the mounting portion, respectively, such that, by selectively fixing or unfixing the supporting legs of the vehicle interior portion inserted in the mounting grooves, the vehicle interior portion is attached to or detached from the mounting portion.

A vehicle provided with a vehicle interior including an interior surface and at least one interior object provided for arrangement and fixation in the vehicle interior, an electronic detection device is provided, which is adapted to detect a position of the interior object on the interior surface. The at least one interior object includes at least one drive device for a non-mechanically guided displacement of the interior object on the interior surface of the vehicle, and the electronic detection device adapted to detect the reaching of a specified fixing position on the interior surface by the interior object.

A seat assembly, a multi-passenger vehicle, and a method for attaching seats to a floor of a vehicle that employ an electromagnetic coupling between the seats and the floor. A power supply supplies electricity to the electromagnetic coupling to secure the seats to the floor and is turned off to release the seats from the floor without tools or workers bending down below the seats to remove coupling devices. The seats can therefore be readily repositioned or rearranged to adjust the spacing between the seats. Resident induction coupling is included between the floor of the vehicle and the seats to provide wireless power to the seats.

A vibration-reducing insert is usable to reduce vibration or play between two metal aircraft components. The insert rotates on a fastener, and includes a shelf that projects into the gap and operates as an indexable cam to establish an appropriate compression in an engaged portion of the shelf.

A vehicle module system is disclosed. The system includes a track assembly operably coupled with a body of a vehicle. One or more modules may be removably and slidably coupled with the track assembly. The modules include base structure defining an attachment point. A rail feature is disposed along a bottom portion of the base structure. An attachment feature having a retainer for removably coupling to the attachment point to the base structure.

A locking unit (10), for a vehicle seat (1), includes a locking pawl (80) which is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position and which has a retention contour (27) for securing a locking bolt (12) in the closed position. At least one claw (90, 91, 92), offset in the axial direction with respect to the locking pawl (80), is mounted so as to be pivotable about the same pivot axis. The claw (90, 91, 92) has a closure contour (25). The locking pawl (80) can be pivoted from the open position to the closed position by the closure contour (25) being acted upon by the locking bolt (12).

A fastening system for passenger seats in a vehicle cabin has two or more guide rails to be integrated into or onto a cabin floor, and a plurality of slides, to be brought into engagement with the guide rails and having a flange for connection to a passenger seat to retain the passenger seat on a guide rail. Each guide rail has a profile cross section, perpendicularly to a main axis of extent (x), having a base region, a supporting region and an undercut situated therebetween. Each slide has a cavity, of complementary design with the profile cross section, and a necked region, to be brought into engagement with the undercut, thus enabling the supporting region to be enclosed by the cavity of the slide. Each slide has a rotatably mounted roller projecting into the necked region and can be brought into surface contact with a guide rail surface.

An anti-rattle system for a passenger seat includes a foot pad. The foot pad includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a protrusion extending outward from the lower surface of the foot pad. A method of securing a passenger seat with the anti-rattle system includes providing a seat track defining a track channel. The method further includes securing a leg assembly of the passenger seat to the seat track by adjusting the anti-rattle device such that a forward stud of the leg assembly engages track lips within the channel and the foot pad of the anti-rattle device engages an upper surface of the seat track. Adjusting the anti-rattle device includes positioning the protrusion in a track opening forward of the forward stud.

A fastening system has a fastening element and at least one fastening device having a flanged housing, a closure element, a hollow-sphere element and a spherical insert. The hollow-sphere element pivots about a first pivoting axis relative to the flanged housing, while the spherical insert pivots about a second pivoting axis in the hollow-sphere element. First engagement means in an opening of the spherical insert are of complementary design to second engagement means of the fastening element. The first and second engagement means are designed such that, in a first rotational position, the fastening element can be inserted freely into the opening and, in a second rotational position, the first and second engagement means engage in one another.

A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion supported on a frame. The seat cushion is removable from the frame to allow access an area beneath the seat. A handle is formed on a projecting portion of the seat cushion to facilitate grasping the seat cushion and to allow the seat cushion to be removed from the frame. A seat stopper is provided for preventing the projecting portion from contacting directly against a console or other surrounding part of the vehicle.
