A vehicle including a floor surface and a seat. The floor surface has a floor striker. The seat is movable between a seated state and a stowed state. The seat includes a seat cushion frame, a sear back, and a seat latch. The seat cushion frame has a seat striker. The seat back is rotatably coupled to the seat cushion frame. In the seated positon, the seat latch engaged with the floor striker. In the stowed state, the seat latch engages with the seat striker.

A vehicle seat having a seat cushion and ottoman pillars attached to the seat cushion, the seat cushion can be formed in a compact manner. The vehicle seat (S) comprises a cushion frame (F1) including a pair of cushion side frames (85), a cushion front member (86) connecting front ends of the cushion side frames with each other and a cushion rear member (87). The cushion front member is provided with a pair of recesses (143) extending in a fore and aft direction, and a pair of pillar support portions (141) extending in the fore and aft direction are received in and bonded to the respective recesses, the ottoman including a pair of ottoman pillars (135) inserted into the respective pillar support portions.

A seat is provided in which a seat cushion is pivotally coupled to a seat back by a recliner assembly. The recliner assembly is selectively operable between a locked condition preventing pivotal movement of the seat back and an unlocked condition allowing pivotal movement of the seat back. A riser assembly supports the seat assembly above a floor, such as the floor of a vehicle, and is configured for actuation and movement of the seat assembly between a generally upright seating position, a pitched easy entry position tilted forwardly and downwardly towards the floor to allow easier ingress and egress behind the seat, and a stowed position recessed within a compartment below the floor.

A jumpseat for an emergency transport vehicle having a patient compartment that includes a medical scanning device and a patient stretcher having a stretcher axis. The jumpseat includes a post element rotatably attached to a floor portion of the patient compartment, wherein the floor portion is located in a clearance space between the scanning device and a head end of the stretcher. The jumpseat also includes a seating element rotatably attached to the post element. The post and seating elements are moveable between a stowed position wherein the post element and seating element are substantially horizontal and a deployed position wherein the post element is substantially vertical and the seating element is substantially horizontal and located in the clearance space and in-line with a patient's body axis.

A vehicle seat assembly for a vehicle having a cargo area bounded by a floor and at least one wall is provided along with a method of operation. The vehicle seat assembly comprises a seat back, a seat base, and a linkage assembly. The seat back of the vehicle seat assembly mounts to the wall and the linkage assembly mounts to the floor. The seat bottom is mounted to the linkage assembly and is moveable between stowed and deployed positions. When the seat bottom is in the deployed position, the seat bottom defines a deployed seat bottom plane. When the seat bottom is in the stowed position, the seat bottom is positioned below the deployed seat bottom plane. The seat bottom is separate from the seat back and is spaced apart from the seat back when the seat bottom is in the stowed position.

A vehicle seat having a seat cushion and ottoman pillars attached to the seat cushion, the seat cushion can be formed in a compact manner. The vehicle seat (S) comprises a cushion frame (F1) including a pair of cushion side frames (85), a cushion front member (86) connecting front ends of the cushion side frames with each other and a cushion rear member (87).

The task of the invention is to further develop a motor vehicle seat and in particular a motor vehicle rear seat so that operation is simplified and different functional positions are assumed quickly and conveniently

The task of the invention is solved by a motor vehicle seat is equipped with at least a seat area, a backrest and, if necessary, a headrest as seat elements. Furthermore, at least respectively a detachable bolting unit assigned to the seat area, the back area and the optional headrest is executed. Furthermore, at least one handle is provided to act on the bolting unit(s). The seat elements can assume several different functional positions. According to the invention, the single handle is set up to act on at least an electrical drive assigned to the bolting unit(s) and thus to execute all functional positions.

A vehicle seat that can suppress damage to an on-board object is provided. In each side frame of a cushion frame, an eccentric portion is eccentric outward in a right-left direction with respect to a base portion, and in each side frame of a back frame, an eccentric portion is eccentric inward in the right-left direction with respect to a base portion. Thus, when the load at the time of rear collision acts, each side frame of the cushion frame easily becomes deformed outward in the right-left direction, and each side frame of the back frame easily becomes deformed inward in the right-left direction. Accordingly, the deformation direction of each side frame of the cushion frame and the deformation direction of each side frame of the back frame can be easily made opposite to each other, and the deformations of the respective side frames and can be inhibited.

An inflatable member includes a fluid delivery assembly positioned at intervals between an upper and a lower sheet. A plurality of fluid cells is defined by a series of ridges formed by a lower sheet of the inflatable member.
