A vehicle seat console includes at least one vehicle-side guide element and at least one seat-side guide element arranged parallel to the vehicle-side guide element. A length-adjustment device, which is acted on by a drive device and which is designed to bring about a relative displacement between the vehicle-side guide element and the seat-side guide element, is designed such that the length-adjustment device is provided between the seat-side guide element and a force-limiting apparatus, which is in turn coupled to the vehicle-side guide element.

A vehicle seat may include a protrusion member installed to a lower portion of a back frame inside a seatback to protrude forward and to absorb an impact on the hips of an occupant upon a vehicle collision, wherein a lower portion of the seatback, which has a protrusion shape due to the protrusion member, induces a sitting posture of the occupant to be modified when the occupant sits down on the vehicle seat, thereby reducing a gap between a head of the occupant and a headrest in a state that the hips of the occupant moves forward.

A seat back frame is provided with a plurality of upright members, and at least one cross member interconnecting the plurality of upright members. At least one of the plurality of upright members has a weakened region to control deformation of the seat back frame in an impact condition.

A seat suitable for sports type automobiles with a low hip point. An energy absorbing structure part provided in a cushion frame is constituted of a substantially square frame body including a front beam and a rear beam, and stringers bridged across them and provided separately from side frames. It is structured such that belt anchor attaching members are each provided between a coupling position to a vicinity of a rear portion of upper rails of sliders and a coupling position of the rear beam in the stringers. When an impact force of a predetermined value or higher is applied, the stringers deform to absorb the impact force and trusses are formed after the deformation, thereby enabling to sustain a further impact force which continues to be applied.

A passenger seat for a passenger vehicle including but not limited to an aircraft may include a seat base, a seat back, and an energy absorption system. The energy absorption system is spherically coupled to the seat base and spherically coupled to the seat back, and includes a dampening member and a support assembly. The dampening member is movable relative to the support assembly responsive to a load applied on the seat back such that engagement between the support assembly and the dampening member dampens the load.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a conformal seating assembly coupled with a rigid shell and includes a seat base, a seatback base, seat side bolsters, and seatback side bolsters. An air-filled sender panel is disposed in the seat base. An air-filled receiver cell is disposed in one of the seat side bolster and the seatback side bolster. A liquid-filled sender panel is disposed between the air-filled receiver cell and the rigid shell. A liquid-filled receiver cell is adjacent the air-filled receiver cell and disposed in one of the seat side bolster and the seatback side bolster. A first distribution rail system is disposed on a first side of the seat base. A second distribution rail system is disposed on a second side of the seat base. A plurality of capillaries provide fluid communication between the sender panels and the receiver cells. A topper pad extends over the conformal seating assembly.

An end stop assembly includes a pivot bracket, an end stop bracket, a strap, and a pin assembly. The pivot bracket defines a first adjustment slot and a first pivot hole. The end stop bracket defines a second adjustment slot and a second pivot hole. The end stop bracket has a first stop tab positioned about the second pivot hole. The second pivot hole is held concentrically to the first pivot hole. The strap defines an attachment hole. The pin assembly holds the strap and end stop bracket to the pivot bracket. The pin assembly is positioned through the first adjustment slot, the second adjustment slot and the attachment hole such that the pin assembly is movable by along the first adjustment slot and the second adjustment slot from a first position to a second position by pulling the strap.

A connecting element for a vehicle seat includes a body on which a backrest and a seat cushion of the seat are intended to be mounted. The body has a first edge and at least a first through slot extending longitudinally along a first direction from the first edge and defining a first inner end. The connecting element further includes a first bridge extending along at least a portion of the first edge opposite the first slot, with the first bridge having a curved shape.

A seat fixing device for fixing a vehicle seat, in particular an aircraft passenger seat, to at least one fixing rail that is attached to a vehicle structure, comprising a fixing means that is to be coupled to the at least one fixing rail, and comprising a force transmitting unit that is used in a normal olperating mode to provide a first force application path of a weight and acceleration force that is introduced into the vehicle structure via the vehicle seat. The force transmitting unit has a transmitting means that is used in an impact mode to at least initiate a generation of at least one second force application path of the weight and acceleration force that is introduced into the vehicle structure via the vehicle seat.

A system for securing a seat within a vehicle may include a seat bracket with a first portion configured to be attached to a structural frame of a vehicle by a first fastener passing there through, a second portion configured to be attached to a seat installed in the vehicle by a second fastener passing there through, and a third portion attaching the first portion to the second portion. The third portion may include a U-shaped bend, and the first portion may be configured to receive the second fastener there through. The second portion may include a hole for the second fastener to pass through, and the first portion may include a hole for the second fastener to pass through. The first portion may define a fracture propagation region disposed proximate the hole for the second fastener.
