Provided is a vehicle-seat apparatus including: a front link whose upper end portion is connected to a front portion of a seat cushion; a sliding member connected to a lower end portion of the front link; a sliding guidance member installed on a bottom surface of the accommodation space to extend backward and forward and thus to guide linear backward and forward movements of the sliding member; an L-shaped main link whose front end portion is connected to a body of the front link and whose rear upper end portion is connected to a lower end portion of a seat back; a fixation bracket installed on an upper end portion of a rear wall of the accommodation space; and a rear support link whose front upper end portion is connected to a rear portion of the seat cushion, and whose rear lower end portion is connected to the fixation bracket.

A vehicle seat, comprising: a lower frame, intended to be connected to the floor of a vehicle, having: a base, intended to be connected to the floor of the vehicle, and a seating portion frame, comprising at least two seating places to accommodate at least two users, a first backrest pivotally hinged to the base, a second backrest pivotally hinged to the base, wherein the seat further comprises a connection system connecting the first backrest to the seating portion frame, configured so that the pivoting of the first backrest relative to the base causes the simultaneous movement of the seating portion frame relative to the base in the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction of the seat, in the two pivoting directions of the first backrest relative to the base.

A seat assembly includes a five-bar linkage for moving the seat assembly between a plurality of positions in an automotive vehicle. A first link is rotatably coupled to a seat back at a second pivot point disposed coaxial to a first pivot point, and to a seat base defining a fifth link at a third pivot point. A second link extends axially between the first and second pivot points. A third link is defined by a lower seat back portion and a seat cushion and extends between the first pivot point and a fifth pivot point disposed adjacent a front portion of the seat cushion. A fourth link is rotatably coupled to the third link at the fifth pivot point and the seat base at a fourth pivot point. The seat assembly is capable of moving to both a pitched easy entry position and a stow flat to floor position.

A vehicle seat includes a back frame connected to a base member so as to be able to rotate around a first rotation shaft; a rotation locking mechanism; a cushion frame connected to the back frame so as to be able to rotate around a second rotation shaft, and in which a long hole is formed; a link member connected to the base member so as to be able to rotate around a third rotation shaft; a fourth rotation shaft fixed to the link member and inserted in the long hole so as to be able to move relatively and so as to be able to rotate; and movement restricting portion provided between the fourth rotation shaft and an inner surface of the long hole, and that restricts movement of the fourth rotation shaft from one end portion of the long hole toward another end portion side.

A seat for an autonomous driving vehicle includes a cushion part; a back part coupled to a rear end of the cushion part through a recliner and having an adjustable angle in a front and rear direction; and a leg part rotatably coupled to a front end of the cushion part and having a lower side coupled to a seat rail. The back part is disposed to be vertically movable along a back rail located on a rear side of the back part, and the leg part is disposed to be movable back and forth by the seat rail.

A foldable seating accessory for a vehicle comprising a backrest assembly, a seat assembly, and a rear support. The backrest assembly is connected by a hinge joint to the seat assembly. The rear support is connected by a hinge joint to the backrest assembly. A trunk latch is connected to the seat assembly, allowing the seat assembly to secure onto the trunk of a vehicle. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

A vehicle seat comprising a base, a seating portion connected to the base by a front connecting rod, a backrest support lockable on the base, a backrest pivotally mounted on the backrest support by a hinge mechanism and connected to the seating portion by a pivot. The backrest support is connected to the base by two rear connecting rods configured so that the backrest is folded horizontally in a console position when the front connecting rod pivots forward after unlocking the backrest support while the hinge mechanism is not actuated.

It is provided a vehicle seat having a base and a displaceable seat member which when a backrest of the vehicle seat is tilted forward can be lowered at least with a front portion in the direction of the base, wherein there is provided a guiding element which when the front portion of the seat member is lowered can be displaced on a slotted guiding member for the guiding element from a first portion of the slotted guiding member to a second portion of the slotted guiding member. The slotted guiding member or the guiding element is provided on a blocking element of a blocking device of the vehicle seat. The blocking element with the slotted guiding member or with the guiding element can be displaced under the action of acceleration forces which occur in the event of a crash relative to the base.

A cockpit module for a vehicle is introduced, which includes a dashboard provided in front or in the rear of an internal space of the vehicle; a control panel provided in an upper portion of the dashboard and configured of facilitating an occupant to operate the control panel by being accommodated in the dashboard when moving backward thereof and by being deployed toward the occupant when moving forward thereof; and a seat being accommodated in a lower portion of the dashboard in a folded state, and being disposed in the front facing the dashboard when being deployed to be provided to the occupant.

A vehicle seat including a foldable seat kinematic which has a backrest part and a seat part, the seat kinematic being adjustable between a normal position and a folded-forward functional position, the seat kinematic being manually foldable from the normal position into the functional position, a motor, an activating system which is adapted to be driven by the motor between a deactivated position and an activated position, a connecting rod provided between the activating system and the seat kinematic. The seat kinematic is movable from the functional position into the normal position by the activating system and the connecting rod when the motor is actuated so as to drive the activating system from the deactivated position to the activated position, the activating system being configured to not interfere with the seat kinematic when the activating system is in the deactivated position.
