ELECTRIC MOTOR ASSEMBLY FOR A SEAT LOCKING MECHANISM
A seat locking mechanism comprises a plurality of positional brake mechanisms including a longitudinal brake assembly, a lateral brake assembly, and a rotational brake assembly; and an electric motor assembly operably connected to each of the plurality of positional brake mechanisms. The electric motor assembly comprises: a drive motor; a clutch system located between the drive motor and the plurality of positional brake mechanisms; and a solenoid operably connected to the clutch system. The solenoid in operation engages the clutch system to operably connect the electric motor to the plurality of positional brake mechanisms when the electric motor assembly is activated and disengages the clutch system to operably disconnect the electric motor to the plurality of positional brake mechanisms when the electric motor assembly is deactivated. The electric motor assembly in operation moves the plurality of positional brake mechanisms to at least one of a locked position and unlocked position.
Network of rails for a vehicle
A network of rails for a vehicle includes a lateral rail that extends primarily along a lateral axis of the vehicle, a longitudinal rail that extends primarily along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and a circular rail that interacts with at least one of the lateral rail and the longitudinal rail.
Easy seat positioning and installation
A seat mounting apparatus of a vehicle, including a plurality of seat tracks mounted in the vehicle; a plurality of seat sliders at least equal in number to a number of the plurality of seat tracks, each of the plurality of seat sliders being slidable along one of the plurality of seat tracks; and a seat mounting bracket that aligns and fixes a relative position in the direction of a number of the plurality of seat sliders equal to the number of the plurality of seat tracks.
Baby car seat track system
The baby car seat track system comprises a track, a seat adapter, and a child seat. The baby car seat track system may be operable to couple the child seat to a vehicle seat in a vehicle. The track may be embedded within the vehicle seat running laterally across the vehicle seat and accessible via a crevice of the vehicle seat. The seat adapter may couple the child seat to the track such that the child seat may be repositioned laterally on the vehicle seat and may rotate around a vertical axis. The baby car seat track system may be adapted to make a child more accessible to a user by repositioning and rotating the child seat within the vehicle.
Lateral brake assembly for a seat locking mechanism
A lateral brake assembly of a seat locking mechanism comprises: a first lateral brake including a first track bar and a first housing; a second lateral brake including a second track bar and a second housing; a carriage tube operably connected to the first lateral brake and the second lateral brake; a plurality of first slots located in the first track bar; and a first lateral lock pin operably connected to the carriage tube. The first housing in operation moves over the first track bar and locks onto the first track bar. The second housing in operation moves over the second track bar and locks onto the second track bar. The carriage tube in operation moves the first lateral brake and the second lateral brake to at least one of a locked position and an unlocked position, when the carriage tube rotates.
Vehicle with expandable space
A vehicle may include a door pivotally mounted to a vehicle body at a lower end portion of the door, to open or close an opening formed at a portion of one surface of the vehicle, while being configured to form a bottom surface connected to a floor of the vehicle in a state of completely pivoting toward an outside of the vehicle in accordance with an opening operation of the door, forming a terrace space connected to an internal compartment of the vehicle, and a seat slidably mounted in the internal compartment of the vehicle, to provide a seating compartment for passengers, while being configured to be slidable outwards toward the opening of the vehicle, providing a seating compartment in the terrace space when the terrace space is used in accordance with the opening operation of the door.
VEHICLE SEAT HAVING AN EASY-ENTRY MODULE
A vehicle seat (1) has an easy-entry module (6). A backrest (2) is adjustable relative to a seat part (3) between at least one comfort position (P1) and at least one easy-entry position (P3). The backrest (2) is, together with the seat part (3), arranged so as to be longitudinally displaceable by way of rails (4) along a movement travel (W) over a longitudinal adjustment range (L) at least between two seat positions (S1.1 to S1.n). To limit the movement travel (W), at least one switchable abutment (10) is provided in the region of the rails (4). The backrest (2) is, at a predefined seat position (S2), settable upright by way of the switchable abutment (10) from the easy-entry position (P3) into the comfort position (P1) and lockable to the seat part (3) in the predefined seat position (S2).
LATERAL SLIDE REMOVABLE SEAT
A rail and carrier system for first and second removable seats of a motor vehicle is described. The rail and carrier system includes two lower rails fixedly attached to and positioned laterally along a floor of the motor vehicle. Two upper rails are nested with and laterally slidable within each of the lower rails. The rail and carrier system further includes four cross brackets laterally spaced apart and arranged perpendicular to the upper rails, two connecting the left upper rails, and two connecting the right upper rails. Covers are connected to and extend between the cross brackets.
VEHICLE SEAT
A seat for a motor vehicle includes a cap in the seat back for covering an ISOFIX bar. The cap includes a cap body and a grip portion. The grip portion includes a scoop portion in the cap body for receiving a hand and an indented portion longitudinally forward of the scoop. A second seat for a motor vehicle includes a frame and an inner cover on the frame. The inner cover being generally L-shaped and located on a laterally inward side of the frame. The inner cover includes a smooth lower external surface and a smooth and recessed external upper surface.
TWO PIECE STEP GARNISH
A step garnish for a rail and carrier seat system for motor vehicle is disclosed. The rail and carrier seat system includes two rails fixedly attached to and positioned laterally along a floor of the motor vehicle, a carrier laterally slidable within the rails, a handle attached to a laterally exterior side of the carrier, and a seat attached to the carrier. The step garnish includes an inner step garnish portion, the inner step garnish portion being installed below the handle on the carrier, the inner step garnish having an exposed portion; and an outer step garnish portion, the outer step garnish portion including a cut out clearance shape for being installed from above the handle, the cut out clearance shape having a shape substantially similar to the exposed portion of the inner step garnish.
