A vehicle includes a vehicle seat having a seat frame and a plurality of wire anchors attached to a lateral member of the seat frame. Each wire anchor is formed from a single continuous metallic wire and comprises an anchor portion, a first end that extends from the anchor portion and tangentially engages the lateral member proximate a top portion of the lateral member and extends downward over a rear portion of the lateral member and a second end that extends from the anchor portion and tangentially engages the lateral member proximate a bottom portion of the lateral member and extends upward over the rear portion of the lateral member, and wherein the wire anchor is free of engagement with a front portion of the lateral member.

A vehicle seat frame includes a pair of side frames, a pair of cylindrical collar members, a pair of link members, and a pipe member coaxially secured at end portions to the collar members. At least one of the collar members is substantially equal in outer diameter to the pipe member. A contact surface portion having a reduced outer diameter is formed in an end portion of a first member, which is brought into contact with a second member. The first member is one of the pipe member and the collar member that is substantially equal in outer diameter to the pipe member, and the second member is the other one of them. The first member and the second member are secured to each other by welding, with the contact surface portion kept in contact with an inner peripheral portion of the second member.

A seat device for a tilting vehicle includes: at least one seat body which has a seat surface on which a user of the tilting vehicle can be disposed and to which a force acting in a direction of action can be applied, the direction of action running transversely to the seat surface; at least one support unit which has at least one resiliently flexible and/or deformable first support portion on which the seat body is disposed, at least one rigid, non-flexible second support portion, and at least one cavity extending parallel or obliquely to the seat surface and disposed between the first support portion and the second support portion, by which cavity the first support portion and the second support portion are spaced apart from each other without touching and by which an elastic deformation of the first support portion toward the cavity is enabled. At least one adjustment unit has at least one adjustment body which is disposed movably in the cavity and by which the first support portion is supported against the second support portion and can be transferred from a first support position to a second support position.

Disclosed is one example of an easy chair capable of inhibiting links from being deformed and damaged when a large load acts on a cushion frame. A posture-changing mechanism of the easy chair includes a first link, a second link, and a male threaded rod, and these form a truss structure. Thus, in principle, no large bending moment is generated in the first link, the second link, and the male threaded rod. This posture-changing mechanism makes it possible to inhibit the first link, the second link, and the male threaded rod from being deformed and damaged by a bending moment when a large load acts on the cushion frame.

A seat assembly comprises a seat adjuster; and a seat including: a seat bottom connectable to a track assembly; a seatback pivotably connected to the seat bottom; a calf rest pivotably connected to the seat bottom; and a headrest pivotably connected to the seatback. The seat adjuster includes one or more motors and is connected to the seat to adjust the seat to a first seat position and to a second seat position via adjusting the seatback, the calf rest, and the headrest about a plurality of pivot axes.

A seat base for a vehicle seat includes: two seat base side flanges; a seat base front flange rotatably mounted with respect to the two seat base side flanges; and a mechanism for adjusting the orientation of the front flange relative to the side flanges. The mechanism includes: two connecting rods, each connecting rod being connected to one of the side flanges; a tube extending between the two connecting rods; and at least one clip attached to the front flange and having a baseplate and two branches extending from the baseplate to form a receiving space wherein a portion of the tube is received; each clip further having at least one tie arranged between the baseplate and one of the branches. The baseplate, the two branches, and each tie are integral with each other.

It is provided a vehicle seat, with a backrest which is rigidly coupled to a seat part so that a pivotal movement of the backrest about a rear pivot axis, via which an inclination of the backrest can be adjusted, always is accompanied by a corresponding pivotal movement of the seat part. There is provided a pan adjusting device via which a seat pan part can be pivoted relative to the seat part about a seat part pivot axis.

A zero gravity seat may have a rotary component between a rear part of a base and a rear part of the frame. The rotary component may have a first fulcrum rotatably connected to the rear part of the frame and a second fulcrum rotatably connected to the base. A zero gravity drive mechanism and a height adjustment drive mechanism may be installed on the base, the zero gravity drive mechanism being configured to drive a lower connecting plate to rotate relative to the base, and the height adjustment drive mechanism being configured to drive the rotary component to rotate about the second fulcrum relative to the base.
