CONTROL SYSTEM FOR SEAT OF VEHICLE
A control system for a seat of a vehicle, the control system includes: a seat actuator disposed at each of seats in the vehicle to implement motions of the seats including folding, reclining, sliding, or rotating of the seats; a motion calculator calculating types and degrees of motions of the seats based on information about a passenger and an object received from a user; and a driving controller enabling all of the passenger and the object input by the user to be loaded by controlling the seat actuators in accordance with a calculation result of the motion calculator.
Seat adjustment device
A seat adjustment device includes: an authentication unit that is configured to identify plural occupants of a vehicle; an acquisition unit that is configured to acquire information relating to each one of the plural vehicle occupants identified by the authentication unit; a determination unit that is configured to determine relationships between the plural vehicle occupants based on information acquired by the acquisition unit; and a control unit that is configured to control at least one of a position or an orientation of seats mounted in the vehicle based on determination results from the determination unit.
VEHICLE SEAT AND VEHICLE SEAT SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
A vehicle seat (10) for a motor vehicle, having a backrest (12), a height-adjustable headrest (14) and a seatbelt guide (22) integrated in the vehicle seat (10) for a seatbelt (18), wherein the height-adjustable headrest (14) is coupled to the backrest (12), and wherein the headrest (14) can be mechanically coupled to a seatbelt guide adjusting mechanism (36), which mechanically adjusts the seatbelt guide (22) when adjusting the height of the headrest (14).
OCCUPANT POSTURE ADJUSTMENT DEVICE AND PEDAL DEVICE
An occupant posture adjustment device and a pedal device include a pedal adjustment mechanism that changes the inclination of a pedal with respect to a floor panel between a first driving state and a second driving state, and a controller that, in the first driving state, controls the pedal adjustment mechanism such that a back face of the pedal and the floor panel are separated from each other, and in the second driving state, controls the pedal adjustment mechanism such that the back face of the pedal and the floor panel come into contact with each other.
Height adjustment apparatus of vehicle seat
The present disclosure relates to a height adjustment apparatus of a vehicle seat, whereby during a height adjustment of a seat cushion, a desired tilting angle of the seat cushion is obtained and heights of a front part and a rear part of the seat cushion are individually adjusted. Due to the height adjustment apparatus, the comfort of a seated occupant is improved by adjusting the angles of the seat cushion in response to various postures of the occupant. In addition, a link connection is structurally secured and thus its durability is also improved.
Vehicle comprising a deformable feet support device
A vehicle having a vehicle body that includes a floor, partially defining the inside of the passenger compartment of the vehicle, a movable seat extending over the floor in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and a foot support device for the occupant of the seat extending over the floor near the seat and defining a surface for receiving the feet. The support device is deformable relative to the body of the vehicle so as to modify at least the orientation of the receiving surface. The deformation of the support device is coupled with the movement of the seat such that the movement of the seat causes a coordinated deformation of the support device.
Trim element comprising a support surface positionable in a plurality of positions
A trim element having a trim panel that includes an inner face and an outer face and at least one support element extending over the inner face and protruding toward the outer face such that the trim panel marries at least part of the contour of the support element in order to form a support surface on the outer face. The support element can be positioned in a plurality of positions relative to the trim panel, which is deformable to marry at least part of the contour of the support element so that the support surface can be positioned in a plurality of areas of the outer face.
System and method for determining whether a seatbelt is used incorrectly, and for taking corrective action when the seatbelt is used incorrectly
A system includes a first webbing payout sensor and a seatbelt wear condition module. The first webbing payout sensor can detect a first webbing payout of a seatbelt associated with a seat of a vehicle. The first webbing payout is a first length of webbing of the seatbelt dispensed from a first retractor of the seatbelt. The seatbelt wear condition module can identify whether the seatbelt is worn correctly based on the first webbing payout. The system may further include a second webbing payout sensor that detects a second webbing payout of the seatbelt associated with the seat. The second webbing payout is a second length of webbing of the seatbelt dispensed from a second retractor of the seatbelt. The seatbelt wear condition module identifies whether the seatbelt is worn correctly based on the first webbing payout and the second webbing payout.
VEHICLE SEATING SYSTEM
A seating system for a vehicle having a seat bottom and a seat back connected to and manually rotatable relative to the seat bottom may include a manually-actuated dump-and-return arrangement for the seat back and a manually-actuated slide arrangement for the seat bottom. It may also include a motor-actuated dump-and-return arrangement for the seat back and a motor-actuated slide arrangement for the seat bottom.
