10773608 · 2020-09-15 · ·

A lightweight, attachable and detachable vehicle seat removal, transport, and reinstallation apparatus is disclosed, including a chassis, casters mounted to the chassis, a seat rear support pin coupled to the chassis for engaging a seat rear attachment of the vehicle seat, and a locking forward pin attached to the chassis for engaging a forward seat attachment of the vehicle seat. A method of vehicle seat removal is disclosed, including positioning one or more seat skates behind a seat such that the seat skates are aligned with vehicle seat attachment means, rotating the vehicle seat upward, rolling the one or more seat skates forward such that the one or more seat skates straddle respective vehicle seat attachment means, rotating the one or more seat skates upward, latching rear seat attachments of the vehicle seat to seat rear support pins of the seat skates, and lowering the vehicle seat for transport.

Support assembly

A support assembly includes a support member, a side member, and a resilient member. The support member may be configured to engage a track. The resilient member may be connected to the support member, and/or the support member may be connected to the side member. The resilient member may be configured to compensate for different orientations of the side member. The resilient member may be configured to maintain a position of the side member relative to the track. The resilient member may be configured to compensate for different lateral positions of the side member relative to the track. The resilient member may be connected to a lateral side of the support member. The resilient member may be disposed proximate a first end of the support member, and/or a second resilient member may be disposed proximate a second end of the support member.

ADJUSTMENT DEVICE FOR THE LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT OF A VEHICLE SEAT

It is provided an adjusting device for the longitudinal adjustment of a vehicle seat, comprising at least one rail for defining a longitudinal seat axis along which a seat base of the vehicle seat is adjustable, and for supporting at least one adjusting unit of the adjusting device, and at least two shiftably guided adjusting units arranged one behind the other along the longitudinal seat axis, to which the seat base is to be fixed in order to be adjustable along the longitudinal seat axis. The at least two adjusting units are adjustable relative to each other along the longitudinal seat axis, and each adjusting unit is assigned a separate drive for the power-operated adjustment along the longitudinal seat axis.

TRACK SYSTEM HAVING A ROLLING MEMBER

A support member may be configured for selective connection with and removal from track assemblies. A support member may include a body and a rolling member rotatably connected to the body to facilitate movement of the support member along a track. The rolling member may include a grooved configuration to limit movement of the support member relative to said track in a Y-direction. The rolling member may include a groove configured to engage a protrusion or ridge of said track. The rolling member may include a first portion and a second portion separated in an axial direction by the groove.

MOBILE FRAME FOR SEATS AND RELATIVE SLIDING SEATS SYSTEM
20200079244 · 2020-03-12 ·

A mobile frame for at least one seat of a means of transportation is disclosed. The mobile frame includes: a load-bearing structure suitable for supporting the seat, and an anchoring element coupled with the load-bearing structure to selectively constrain the mobile frame to the support surface of the transportation means. The anchoring element has a fixing mechanism that can be moved from a non-anchored configuration, wherein at least one fixing element is retracted inside the load-bearing structure to an anchored configuration, wherein the fixing element protrudes beyond the load-bearing structure in order to constrain the mobile frame to the support surface.

Track assembly

A track assembly includes a track, a support member, and/or a lever. The support member may be connected to the track, and/or the lever may be connected to the support member. The lever may include a rotational axis substantially parallel to the track. The lever may rotate about the rotational axis between a first position and a second position. The lever may limit movement of the support member relative to the track in a first direction, and/or the lever may not limit movement of the support member relative to the track in a second direction. The lever may be configured to contact the track. The track may include a window having a first edge and/or a second edge.
