An increase in the lateral dimension of a vehicle seat equipped with a tip up lock cancel mechanism is prevented. In a vehicle seat equipped with a tip up mechanism for retaining the seat cushion at least in a tip up position and a tip up lock cancel mechanism for releasing the seat cushion from a retained condition effected by the tip up mechanism in response to a forward tilting movement of the seat back, the tip up lock cancel mechanism includes a cable encasing member having one end fixed to the seat cushion and another end fixed to a back side frame via a fixing part, and a cable slidably received in the cable encasing member and having one end connected to the tip up mechanism and another end connected to a seat base, the fixing part for fixing the cable encasing member to the back side frame being located on an inner side of the back side frame.

Disclosed is a seat frame for a vehicle, the seat frame including a back frame provided on a vehicle seat and including a rotary spring disposed at a lower end thereof, the rotary spring is configured to fold the vehicle seat forward when a lever operates, and a flat spring disposed at the lower end of the back frame and including a slider provided on a lower surface of the back frame and configured to fix the back frame so as to prevent the vehicle seat from being restored rearward when the vehicle seat is folded forward.

A seatback restraint device for a vehicle allows a seatback to be freely restrained by and released from a striker by rotation and a scissoring operation of first and second latches. The first latch and the second latch are connected to be rotated and operated in a scissoring motion about a main hinge, one side of the first latch and one side of the second latch are connected to each other by a first elastic body, and other sides of the first and second latches are connected to each other by an operating cable, so that the striker inserted into first and second latch recesses is restrained by the scissoring operation of the first and second latches due to elastic force of the first elastic body, and restraint of the striker is released through mutual operation of the first latch or the second latch by pulling the operating cable.

A vehicle seat assembly comprising a seat bottom, a seat bottom release, a seat back, a seat back release, and a locking assembly. Upon activation of the seat bottom release, the seat bottom can move along a seat bottom travel path in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle to a forward position close to an instrument panel of the vehicle. Upon activation of the seat back release, the seat back can pivot to a forward position close to the seat bottom. The locking assembly can operate to lock the seat bottom, the seat back, or both, in their respective forward positions such that the seat bottom, the seat back, or both, obstruct operational access to a user operational component, such as the steering wheel or glove box door, on the instrument panel.

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.

A device of folding a seat for a vehicle may include a seat cushion disposed on a bottom of a vehicle body and rotatable by a rotation mechanism and provided with a first position fixing mechanism, a seat back rotatably disposed at a rear of the seat cushion and provided with a second position fixing mechanism, a headrest rotatably disposed at an upper portion of the seat back and fixed in position by a third position fixing mechanism disposed in the seat back, and an operation mechanism disposed in the seat back and unlocking the first position fixing mechanism to unlock the second position fixing mechanism and the third position fixing mechanism at a time of rotating the seat cushion so as to rotate the seat back and the headrest.

A vehicle seat assembly comprising a seat bottom, a seat bottom release, a seat back, a seat back release, and a locking assembly. Upon activation of the seat bottom release, the seat bottom can move along a seat bottom travel path in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle to a forward position close to an instrument panel of the vehicle. Upon activation of the seat back release, the seat back can pivot to a forward position close to the seat bottom. The locking assembly can operate to lock the seat bottom, the seat back, or both, in their respective forward positions such that the seat bottom, the seat back, or both, obstruct operational access to a user operational component, such as the steering wheel or glove box door, on the instrument panel.

An integrated holder for a vehicle is provided, defined by at least one pivoting seat bottom, a restraint for maintaining the seat bottom in a substantially upright position, and at least one deployable side wall associated with the at least one pivoting seat bottom. A support member supports the deployable side wall. The restraint may be one or both of a vehicle seat belt and a deploying/dampening mechanism. In combination, the at least one pivoting seat bottom, at least one side wall, and restraint define defining the integrated holder when deployed. The integrated holder may further be provided with a removable top cover.

The present disclosure is directed to a utility vehicle having a pivotable seat connected by a hinge to a fixed platform. The pivotable seat configured to pivot between a first position and a second position defining a standard seat location and a first wall of a cargo bay, respectively. A seatback is configured to form a second wall of a cargo bay when the pivotable seat is in the second position. First and second opposing side walls are positioned on either side of the pivotable seat. The side walls are configured to form barriers at either side of the cargo bay when the pivotable seat is in the second position.

A seat (1) for a vehicle, the seat (1) comprising a frame (2) intended to be rigidly attached to a vehicle chassis, a first panel referred to as the seat panel (7) and a second referred to as the backrest panel (8), where the seat panel (7) and the backrest panel (8) are hinged together such that the seat (1) can take at least the following two positions: A sitting position; A sleeping position, the seat (1) further comprising at least a third panel referred to as the extension panel (18), hinged on one side relative to the backrest panel (8), such that: in the sitting position, the extension panel (18) is substantially folded back against the backrest panel (8); in the sleeping position, the extension panel (18) and backrest panel (8) are substantially in line with each other in the longitudinal direction.
