Modular transport units and methods of using the same
11904950 · 2024-02-20 · ·

Modular skid units are provided that are versatile and easily configurable for particular applications. In some examples, a modular design allows for many different combinations of modular components, such as seats, canine boxes, storage boxes, patient transport units, etc. In some examples, the modular and quick release nature of the system enables users to selectively remove and attach the modular components as needed for a given task, including the ability to quickly and easily change the modular components in the field to meet the specific needs of a mission or task. In some examples, the modular components include quick release locking mechanisms that include a set of locking elements for quickly and easily switching components.

Floor lock release mechanism

A floor lock release mechanism includes an arm member, a lever, a switching member, a lever biasing member, and a switching member biasing member. The lever is rotatable between a rearward rotational position and a forward rotational position. The lever biasing member biases the lever toward a neutral position. The switching member is rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The switching member biasing member biases the switching member toward the locked position. The lever includes a pressed portion and a pressing portion. The pressing portion is arranged on the same side as a side on which the pressed portion is arranged with respect to a straight line orthogonal to a straight line connecting the pressed portion and a rotation center.

A latch system for selectively coupling an object such as a seat or an accessory to a vehicle is disclosed having an object having a pair of rear legs each having a latch and a pair of front legs, each of the legs having a floor-engaging member having an upper surface and a pair of side surfaces. The floor has a pair of forward-front integral coupling members configured to slidably accept and engage the pair of front legs floor-engaging members, and two pair of rear-side integral coupling members positioned adjacent to both of the rear legs floor engaging members. Each latch positioned on each of the rear legs is configured to releasably engage two of the rear-side integral coupling members.

Quick adjust power adjuster
10363838 · 2019-07-30 · ·

A power adjuster (30) for adjusting the position of an upper track (16) relative to a lower track (18) of a seat track assembly (10). The power adjuster includes a lead screw (22) fixedly secured to the upper track, a drive assembly (32) operatively coupled to the upper track and selectively coupled to the lead screw, a driven assembly (34) operatively coupled to the lead screw and selectively coupled to the drive assembly, and a release mechanism (36) coupled to the upper track. The release mechanism is operable between a locked condition coupling the driven assembly to the drive assembly and the upper track wherein the driven assembly and the drive assembly move longitudinally along the lead screw with the upper track relative to the lower track and an unlocked condition wherein the driven assembly is decoupled from the upper track and retained along the lead screw during movement of the upper track relative to the lower track.

MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT FLOOR SLIDE RAIL HAVING A GAP ELIMINATION STRUCTURE
20190225116 · 2019-07-25 ·

A motor vehicle seat floor slide rail includes a lower slide rail assembly (100), an upper slide rail assembly (200) and a gap elimination mechanism (230, 230), with a shaft-provided gap elimination cam (231L, 231R), on an upper slide rail longitudinal end, having a rotation center (232a) axis perpendicular to an upper rail longitudinal direction. A locking window face (117L, 117R) has an aluminum slide rail (110) longitudinal gap elimination face (113L, 113R). A rail locked state has a cam face (2311L, 2311R) in contact with the gap elimination face to eliminate a Y and Z direction gap. In a rail unlocked state, a locking mechanism (240) drives the gap elimination cam, such that the cam face loses contact with the gap elimination face. The gap elimination cam moves in linkage with the locking mechanism, reducing sliding friction, and having the advantage of low sliding assistance motive power.

PLUG-IN UNIT, PLUG-IN CONNECTOR, SEAT ARRANGEMENT AND VEHICLE

A plug-in unit for a plug-in connector, the plug-in unit may have a housing, a plug with a number of plug-in contacts, a triggering unit and a drive unit. The triggering unit unblocking or releasing the drive unit upon triggering, with the result that the plug, driven by the drive unit, is movable relative to the housing from a rest position into a plug-in position. The plug-in connector may be used with a seat arrangement and a vehicle.

Passenger Seat System For A Means Of Transport
20190092190 · 2019-03-28 · ·

A passenger seat system for a transport means has an elongate carrier structure to be attached, fixedly with respect to a structure, and having a main extent axis and mutually spaced-apart raster openings on the carrier structure top side, raster openings projecting into at least one lateral delimitation of the carrier structure, and a seat having a seat frame, displaceable and arrestable on the carrier structure, a bottom side lying on the carrier structure, and a top side holding a seat surface. The seat frame has an arresting device on the bottom side and has an operating unit coupled to the arresting device. The operating unit is movable into an arresting position and an unlocking position. The arresting device has an arresting lever movable into an engagement position, for lateral engagement into a raster opening, and a release position, in which the arresting lever is released from the carrier structure.
