SEATING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
A seating system for a vehicle includes a seat cushion and a seat back pivotably attached to the seat cushion. A latch arrangement has a locked position for inhibiting pivoting of the seat back relative to the seat cushion and an open position for facilitating pivoting of the seat back relative to the seat cushion. A rotatable actuator defines a first radius and a second radius. A first flexible member is attached to the rotatable actuator at the first radius such that tensioning the first flexible member rotates the rotatable actuator in a first direction. A second flexible member is attached to the latch arrangement and the rotatable actuator at the second radius such that rotation of the rotatable actuator in the first direction tensions the second flexible member and moves the latch arrangement from the locked position to the open position.
CLUTCH UNIT FOR VEHICLE
A clutch unit includes: an input-side transmission member provided to move from an initial position toward a tip of the wedge-shaped space, and an inside tangential line is a tangential line at a contact point of the input-side transmission member and the input-side inner ring member, an outside tangential line is a tangential line at a contact point of the input-side transmission member and the input-side outer ring member, and a segment connects a rotational center of the input-side transmission member with an intersection point between the inside tangential line and the outside tangential line, wherein a wedge angle is an acute angle defined by the segment and the inside tangential line, and a stopper projection is provided at a tip-side position, and a wedge angle formed by the stopper projection is larger than an initial wedge angle at the initial position.
FOLDABLE CHILD CAR SEAT PROVIDED WITH A TOP TETHER STRAP
The present disclosure relates to a child car seat this is tethered to an anchor point in a vehicle. The child car seat includes a seat bottom and a foldable seat back.
Latch device and vehicle seat
A latch device includes a latch engageable with a rod portion of a striker, and is capable of transition to a locked state in which the latch is engaged with the rod portion and to an unlocked state in which the latch is disengaged from the rod portion, and includes a first shaft member that supports the latch in a manner that permits the latch to rotate, and a base member that supports the first shaft member. The base member is a unitary member which includes a first support wall disposed on one side of the latch and configured to support one end of the first shaft member, a second support wall disposed on an other side of the latch and configured to support an other end of the first shaft member, and a connecting wall that connects the first support wall and the second support wall.
VEHICLE FOR RIDESHARING AND PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICES AND METHODS FOR USING SAME
An electric vehicle includes several features to improve ridesharing and/or package delivery services. The vehicle includes electric motor(s) and/or auxiliary system(s) disposed along or under the floor to increase the size of the cabin without increasing the overall size of the vehicle. The passenger seats are foldable and movable to provide a contiguous cargo space. The side door includes an integrally formed B pillar to provide a larger opening on the side of the vehicle when the side door is open for ingress and egress of both the driver and passengers. Each wheel includes an electroactive suspension system to tilt the vehicle in different directions to facilitate greater ease of ingress and egress and/or loading and unloading of cargo. The vehicle includes a user interface system to assist the driver with package delivery services. The vehicle also connects to a trailer that provides electric propulsion and active steering.
