A vehicle seat includes a seat frame having an opening in a plate-shaped part, and an actuator mounted on the plate-shaped part. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a vehicle seat that further contributes to quietness in the interior of a vehicle.

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.

Disclosed herein is a pumping apparatus for a vehicle seat, which includes an input member rotated by torque input from a handle lever, a clutch unit configured to transmit the input torque to a link mechanism of a seat cushion, a brake unit configured to cut off the torque input in reverse from the link mechanism, a housing accommodating the clutch unit therein, and a fixing member coupled to a rear end of the housing, wherein the input member includes a first input member disposed in front of the housing, and a second input member connected to the first input member and accommodated in the housing, and the clutch unit includes a torque transmission member arranged on an outer peripheral surface of the second input member, and an annular control member having a clutch friction surface formed on an inner peripheral surface thereof.

A power transmission device for a power seat, the power transmission device including: a motor; an adjustment mechanism of the power seat; and a power transmission cable including: an outer cable; and an inner cable, wherein one end of the outer cable is connected to a bearing member for supporting an output shaft of the motor or a bearing member for supporting an input shaft of the adjustment mechanism so as to be movable in an axial direction of the outer cable, and wherein one end of the inner cable is connected to the output shaft of the motor or the input shaft of the adjustment mechanism so as to be movable in an axial direction of the inner cable.

A vehicle interior system including a first seat assembly, disposed within a vehicle cabin, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller is provided. The first and second sensors may each be disposed within the vehicle cabin. The first sensor may be configured to obtain first signals indicative of a positioning of an obstacle within a predetermined coordinate system. The second sensor may be configured to obtain second signals indicative of a positioning of the first seat assembly within the predetermined coordinate system. The controller may be configured to receive the signals from the first sensor and to map a portion of the obstacle based on the first signals and relative to a portion of the first seat assembly within the predetermined coordinate system.

A control device for the comfort equipment of a passenger transport vehicle seat module includes a casing having a control unit and an USB port, a transmitter/receiver having an electrical plug to be plugged into the USB port, the transmitter/receiver to receive an adjusting command and to transmit the received adjusting command to the control unit, the control unit to transmit the received adjusting command to the one piece of comfort equipment. The control device further includes a locking device having a maneuvering member. When the maneuvering member is actuated, the locking device prevents the transmission of the adjusting command from the transmitter/receiver to the piece of comfort equipment.

A seat-interlocking leg rest control system includes: a first actuator configured to move a seat for a vehicle, the seat including a seat cushion and a seatback, in a forward-backward direction or an upward-downward direction of the vehicle; a second actuator configured to rotate a leg rest, rotatably coupled to the front end portion of the seat cushion, in the upward-downward direction; and a controller connected to the first actuator and the second actuator to control operation of the second actuator such that the rotation angle of the leg rest is limited based on the position of the seat.

A method of configuring a vehicle seating assembly includes the step of providing a vehicle seating assembly that has a seat rotational member that rotatably couples a lower leg support to a seat and a seatback rotational member that rotatably couples the seat to a seatback. The method further includes the step of receiving input of a user's desired configuration of the vehicle seating assembly. The method still further includes the step of actuating at least one of the seat rotational member and the seatback rotational member responsive to the input received.

A clutch unit (100) includes an operation lever (21), an operation member (22), an input-side clutch (50), an output-side clutch (60), and a bottomed cylindrical housing (11). The input-side clutch (50) includes an input-side inner ring member (51) and an operation bracket (54). The operation bracket (54) includes an engagement portion (54b) that engages with the input-side inner ring member (51), a facing portion (54d) that faces the bottom surface (11 a) of the housing (11) with a gap therebetween, a fastened portion (54c) that penetrates a through hole (11h) formed in the bottom surface (11a) of the housing (11) and is fastened to the operation member (22), and a sliding-contact portion (54e) that extends from the facing portion (54d) toward the bottom surface (11a) of the housing (11) and comes into sliding-contact with the bottom surface of the housing (11).

A vehicle seat assembly is provided and includes a base assembly, a seat frame assembly attached to the base assembly, and a seat tilt control mechanism attached to the base assembly and the seat frame assembly. Actuation of the tilt drive assembly adjusts a tilt position of the seat frame assembly with respect to the base assembly.
