SEAT ADJUSTMENT APPARATUS FOR MOBILITY

A seat adjustment apparatus for mobility includes a seat cushion, wherein, during seat cushion tilting, the front portion of the seat cushion is moved upwards, and the rear portion thereof is moved downwards so that the occupant's lower body is not moved upwards as a whole, and the occupant's feet are not excessively lifted. Accordingly, there is no need for a separate footrest for supporting the occupant's feet, and seating convenience is improved by implementing a stable occupant posture. Furthermore, a tilting bar provided for seat cushion tilting supports a seat frame so that the posture of the occupant's lower body does not collapse due to deformation of the seat cushion during a collision, securing the occupant's stability.

The load support apparatus includes a main support unit including a main plate formed in the shape of a plate, a concave portion formed by one portion of the main plate protruding backward, with a groove being formed in front of the concave portion, and a rib portion formed by protruding from the main plate toward the groove or backward from the main plate.

VEHICLE SEAT
20230382273 · 2023-11-30 · ·

A vehicle seat having a seat part, a backrest, a kinematics system for transferring the vehicle seat from a use position into an entry position and back, a drive apparatus for driving the kinematics system, and a coupling apparatus for coupling the drive apparatus to the kinematics system. The coupling apparatus has a pawl and a counter-element. The pawl and the counter-element are locked to one another in order to couple the drive apparatus to the kinematics system, wherein the pawl is released from the counter-element by an actuation of the coupling apparatus, resulting in the drive apparatus being decoupled from the kinematics system. The pawl is configured as a bracing pawl, and the pawl and the counter-element are locked to one another beyond a self-locking action.
