A seat assembly having an extendable thigh support. The extendable thigh support may include an attachment sled that may be moveably disposed on a lower guide and a seat cushion extension sled that may be moveably disposed on an upper guide. A linkage mechanism may operatively connect the attachment sled to the seat cushion extension sled.

A passenger seat comprises a backrest and a seat element that includes a first portion adjoining the backrest and a second portion that can pivot between a rest position and an operational position. In the operational position, the second portion of the seat element increases a depth of a seat pan of the seat element that can be used by the user. A locking mechanism is configured to prevent a pivoting movement of the second portion of the seat element from the operational position thereof into the rest position thereof when a weight of a user sitting in the passenger seat acts on the seat element.

Provided is a conveyance seat including a pelvis support member of which a state or the like is adjusted. The conveyance seat includes the pelvis support member configured to support a portion of an occupant's body where a pelvis is positioned and lumbar supports configured to move the pelvis support member. The pelvis support member includes a seat back side support portion positioned behind a back portion of the occupant, a seat cushion side support portion positioned below buttocks of the occupant, and a connection portion that connects the seat back side support portion and the seat cushion side support portion. The lumbar supports are configured to move the pelvis support member so that a position of at least one of the seat back side support portion, the seat cushion side support portion, and the connection portion is changed with respect to the portion where the pelvis is positioned.

A lawn maintenance vehicle includes an adjustable seat assembly, wherein the seat assembly is rotatable relative to a frame of the vehicle when the vehicle is operated on a sloped surface. The seat assembly is rotatable in order to maintain the operator in a substantially vertical seated alignment while operating the vehicle on a sloped surface. The seat assembly is also rotatable when the vehicle is in a zero-turn or tight-turn maneuver, wherein the seat is rotated toward the center of turning radius to offset the centrifugal forces experienced by the operator during such a maneuver.

The present invention relates to an aircraft seat arrangement that is reconfigurable between a plurality of usable configurations. The aircraft seat arrangement comprises a seat having a forward seat portion (10) and a rearward seat portion (12). The forward seat portion (10) is reconfigurable between a first configuration whereby the forward seat portion (10) is in a side by side configuration with the rearward seat portion (12), and a second configuration wherein the forward seat portion (10) is displaced to be at least partially above the rearward seat portion (12).

There is provided a vehicle seat including: a left and right pair of cushion frames that structure a framework of a seat cushion, the seat cushion including a pad main body portion that supports a buttock area and thigh area of a seat occupant; a left and right pair of seat back frames; and at least one of: a seat cushion push-up mechanism that is provided inside the seat cushion uniformly across a whole of the pad main body portion in the seat width direction, or a seat back push-out mechanism that is provided inside the seat back uniformly across a whole of the back pad main body portion in the seat width direction.

An occupant-support base includes a seat pad and a pad-extension system. The seat pad includes a fixed portion and a movable portion that is configured to move relative to the fixed portion. The pad-extension system is configured to move the movable portion to fit occupants of different sizes.

A vehicle seat console for a vehicle seat has a seat part and a backrest which is attached thereto and which can be moved out of a substantially upright seating position into a rest or reclined position. The vehicle seat console has at least one vehicle structure-side securing element which is connected or can be connected to a vehicle structure and a seat-side securing element which is connected to or can be connected to the vehicle seat. The seat-side securing element is coupled to the vehicle structure-side securing element via an asymmetrically acting height adjustment device such that the seat-side securing element can be tilted about a transverse axis.

A linkage extension system and method for holding an extendable portion of a seat in a desired position while the extendable portion translates from a retracted to an extended position and any intermediate position. A coupled damper produces a holding force to counter gravity or other forces which cause the translation of the seat extension away from a desired position. The linkage extension system is self-powered and operates within the enclosed portion of the seat.
