An apparatus and a method for bicycle anti-theft and personalized adjustment are provided. When a biometric feature of a user matches a preset biological feature, a brake lever is fixed at a preset position to lock the bicycle, and a variable structure is driven to make personalized adjustments according to bicycle adjustment parameters corresponding to the biometric feature of the user.

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.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat comprising: a seating portion having a seat frame with a pair of frame members and a cross member arranged between the pair of frame members; a seat base for supporting the seating portion; a height-adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the seat frame with respect to the seat base, and comprising at least one height-adjustment link; and an easy-entry mechanism for displacing the seating portion with respect to the seat base at least along a longitudinal axis between a use position and an easy-entry position, and comprising at least one easy-entry link being pivotably mounted on the seat base and pivotably connected with the height-adjustment link, the height-adjustment link connecting the easy-entry link with the cross member.

On each of the two longitudinal sides of the cushion (2) of a seat (1) there is provided a front mechanism (4) and a rear lever (5) to move the seat, varying the height and inclination thereof. The rear lever (5) is hinged to the cushion (2) and to a rear supporting bracket (7). The hinging axis (a1) between the rear lever (5) and the cushion (2), is located at a lower position than the horizontal hinging axis (a2) between the rear lever (5) and the rear supporting bracket (7).

Various examples for controlling sway of a furniture that is suspended in a vehicle are disclosed herein. In addition to the suspended furniture, the vehicle can include sway control devices operatively connected to the suspended furniture. The sway control devices can be connected to the suspended furniture via sway lines. The sway control devices can be controlled to adjust the rates that the sway lines are let out or retracted. As a result, the vehicle can control how much the suspended furniture sways.

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.

An adjusting system is provided for a seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat. A longitudinal axis, in which a person sitting on the seat is facing, is defined for the seat, and a transverse axis running perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and a height axis running perpendicularly to the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis are also defined. The adjusting system comprises at least one first bearing ring which can be connected to the seat, at least one second bearing ring which can be connected to a seat mounting, and a plurality of adjusting rings which are connected to one another in a sequential manner and which are arranged between the first bearing ring and the second bearing ring. The adjusting rings can be rotated relative to one another in order to pivot the seat selectively about the longitudinal axis, the transverse axis, and the height axis.

An adjustment mechanism for a seat, the adjustment mechanism permitting the seat to be adjusted along a motion path that provides adjustment of height and/or back inclination of the seat, the mechanism comprising: a base part; a side part for attaching to the seat; a forward link mounted between the base part and the side part such that the forward link can rotate with respect to both the base part and the side part; a rear link mounted to the base part at a first position, the rear link mounted between the base part and the side part such that the rear link can rotate with respect to both the base part and the side part; an adjustment link attached to the rear link at a second position such that the adjustment link and rear link move in unison; and an adjustable strut mounted between the side part and the adjustment link such that the adjustable strut can rotate with respect to both the side part and the adjustment link, the adjustable strut being mounted to the adjustment link at a third position remote from the second position and mounted to the side part at a fourth position, the adjustable strut having a length running between the third position and the fourth position, the length being changeable between a minimum length and a maximum length to move the seat along the motion path by rotation of the forward and rear links with respect to the base part and side part.

A seat position adjusting device for a vehicle may integrate a seatback reclining mechanism and a mechanism for realizing a comfort relaxation posture into one simplified mechanism. The seat position adjusting device includes: a seatback frame and a seat cushion frame connected to each other at a predetermined seating angle; a fixed rail mounted on a bottom surface of a rear end portion of the seat cushion frame to be inclined upward and forward; a moving rail mounted to the fixed rail to be movable forward and backward; a pair of support frames mounted on a floor panel; a front link hinge-coupled between a bottom surface of a front end portion of the seat cushion frame and a front end portion of an associated one of the support frames; and one or more support links hinge-coupled between the moving rail and the associated one of the support frames.
