A seat assembly for a mobility scooter has a seat portion for supporting an operator of the mobility scooter in use and a yoke arranged to receive the seat portion. The yoke has a mounting formation for mounting to a support member of the mobility scooter such that the yoke is removably mounted atop the support member and the seat portion is removably mounted atop the yoke in use. The yoke also has an attachment formation for releasable attachment of an arm-rest and a back-rest for the seat portion. The seat portion can be lifted off the yoke as a first component. The yoke can be lifted off the support member as a further component when removing the seat assembly from the mobility scooter

The invention relates to a vehicle comprising a driver's cab (12) comprising a base (14) and a seat (16), the vehicle having a longitudinal direction (X).

The base (14) has a center (20) and a central longitudinal plane (P), the central longitudinal plane (P) extending in the longitudinal direction (X) and passing through the center (20) of the base (14). A projection of the seat (16) in an elevation direction (Z) on the base (14) is comprised in the base (14).

An assembly comprising the base (14) and the seat (16) is designed to rotate with respect to a body of the vehicle about a first axis (D), the first axis (D) extending in a elevation direction (Z). The first axis (D) passes through the center (20) of the base (14).

A vehicle seat apparatus that includes a bottom assembly that is attached to a floor of the vehicle; a top assembly that is for the support of a seat structure; a turntable that is mounted between the bottom assembly and the top assembly and rotatable to allow rotational motion of the top assembly relative to the bottom assembly; and a lever mechanism secured to the top assembly and pivotal relative to the bottom assembly in order to pivot the top assembly and seat structure from a more forward position to a more sideways position so as to provide enhanced access to the seat structure. The vehicle seat apparatus is comprised of a base cushion and an upright member with only the base cushion being swivelled.

A latch assembly of a seat is provided in a vehicle. The latch assembly includes a base including a first pin and a second pin. A first latch includes a first housing and a first latch mechanism at least partially enclosed within the first housing. The first latch is pivotally coupled to the base. A second latch includes a second housing and a second latch mechanism at least partially enclosed within the second housing. The second latch is pivotally coupled to the base. The first latch is disposed in its latched position when the first latch engages the first pin, and the second latch is disposed in its latched position when the second latch engages the second pin. The first latch and the second latch are not disposed in their respective latched positions at the same time.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat with a lower part for arrangement on a body part of a commercial vehicle and an upper part for storing a seat part, wherein the vehicle seat has a rotational adjustment device, by means of which at least parts of the upper part are rotatable relative to the lower part about an axis in the height direction of the vehicle seat, wherein the rotational adjustment device comprises an electric motor for rotating a rotary plate unit which is rigidly connected to the upper part and is mounted so as to rotate relative to the lower part about the axis, wherein a driveshaft of the electric motor which mechanically interacts with the rotary plate unit is arranged parallel to the width direction of the vehicle seat, wherein, viewed in each case in the height direction of the vehicle seat, an extension of the electric motor and an extension of the rotary plate unit are arranged to be at least partially overlapping.

The embodiments described and claimed herein are improved vehicle access systems. In particular, one embodiment includes three compact, motorized mechanisms for pivoting a passenger seat toward a door opening, extending the passenger seat outside the door opening, lowering the passenger seat, and tilting the passenger seat to help the passenger stand. The first mechanism concurrently pivots the passenger seat and moves it sideways during the pivoting operation so that it is aligned with the door opening. The second mechanism extends the passenger seat outside the door opening. The third mechanism lowers the seat.

A seat adjustment structure for adjusting a relative position between a seat and a base carrying the seat is provided. The seat adjustment structure is slidable with respect to the base along a longitudinal centerline, and includes: a pair of engaging members, fixed to one of the base or the seat with respect to the longitudinal centerline; a locking assembly, fixed to the other of the base or the seat, the locking assembly lockable to or unlockable from the engaging member; an operating member movable with respect to the seat along a vertical direction; and a cable, connecting the operating member and the locking assembly, and arranged to transmit a vertical movement of the operating member to the locking assembly, thereby causing the locking assembly to be locked or unlocked with respect to the engaging member to lock or unlock the base with respect to the seat.

A seating system for at least one occupant in a vehicle interior is disclosed. The seating system may provide a seat assembly with a base assembly configured to be mounted in the vehicle interior and a seat structure configured to be coupled to the base assembly and providing a seat configured for movement relative to the base assembly. Movement of the seat relative to the base assembly may be made by at least two of recline movement or swivel movement or tilt movement. Recline movement may be generally translating movement of the seat structure. Swivel movement may be rotational movement of the seat structure. Tilt movement may be generally translating movement of the seat structure transverse to recline movement. The base assembly may be a mechanism configured to facilitate movement of the seat structure relative to the base assembly.

The present invention discloses a seat rotation locking mechanism, including a locking mechanism mounted on a rotating disc in a seat rotation mechanism and at least one lockhole disposed on an outer circumference of a fixed disc in the seat rotation mechanism, where the locking mechanism includes: a lock support fixed on the rotating disc; and at least two lock pins horizontally and moveably configured in the lock support, where a first end of the lock pin is of a truncated-cone-shaped structure; and the first end of the lock pin is inserted into the lockhole, to implement zero-clearance locking by using wedging between the truncated-cone-shaped structure of the first end of the lock pin and the lockhole. The present invention eliminates a fit clearance existing after a rotation mechanism is locked, improves a grade of a product, and improves user experience. In an adjustment process, even if an operator releases an adjustment lever, a locking piece and a fixed disc do not generate scraping noise, and service life of the product is prolonged since wearing is eliminated.

A swivel plate assembly is provided that comprises a first swivel plate coupled to a second swivel plate. Each of the first and second swivel plates includes a first portion and a second portion. A channel is defined by the first swivel plate and the second swivel plate. A ball bearing assembly is positioned within the channel. A ball bearing of the ball bearing assembly is positioned substantially flush with the first and second swivel plates.
