Vehicle seat console

A vehicle seat console includes at least one vehicle-side guide element and at least one seat-side guide element arranged parallel to the vehicle-side guide element. A length-adjustment device, which is acted on by a drive device and which is designed to bring about a relative displacement between the vehicle-side guide element and the seat-side guide element, is designed such that the length-adjustment device is provided between the seat-side guide element and a force-limiting apparatus, which is in turn coupled to the vehicle-side guide element.

VEHICLE SEAT

A vehicle seat includes: a seat frame that serves as at least a portion of a skeletal structure; a fixed bracket that is fixed on the indoor wall, the fixed bracket including a connection part having a connection surface that is substantially orthogonal to a seat width direction and extending in a substantially vertical direction; a link member in which one end is swingably connected with the connection part and the other end is connected with the seat frame, the link member being swingable in a direction substantially parallel with the seat width direction set as a swinging center axis; and a regulation part which extends from the connection part in a direction substantially parallel with the swinging center axis, the regulation part being configured to regulate, by abutting on the link member in the seat front-and-rear direction, that the link member swings beyond a preset swinging range.

Automatic ejection seat performance and accommodation optimization based on connector

A system for automatic optimization of an ejection system for an aircraft includes the ejection system having a plurality of adjustable settings and having a plurality of components. The system further includes a connector configured to connect to a component of the plurality of components and having a connector portion that includes information corresponding to a user of the ejection system. The system further includes a controller coupled to the ejection system and configured to adjust at least one of the plurality of the adjustable settings of the ejection system based on the information corresponding to the user of the ejection system.

Deformable seat bracket

A system for securing a seat within a vehicle may include a seat bracket with a first portion configured to be attached to a structural frame of a vehicle by a first fastener passing there through, a second portion configured to be attached to a seat installed in the vehicle by a second fastener passing there through, and a third portion attaching the first portion to the second portion. The third portion may include a U-shaped bend, and the first portion may be configured to receive the second fastener there through. The second portion may include a hole for the second fastener to pass through, and the first portion may include a hole for the second fastener to pass through. The first portion may define a fracture propagation region disposed proximate the hole for the second fastener.

MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR SEAT FRAME STRUCTURE
20230173957 · 2023-06-08 ·

Described are aircraft seat frame assemblies comprising a tube and a seat frame component mounting system. The seat frame component mounting system comprises a first tube mounting member and a second tube mounting member separable from the first tube mounting member. The tube is positionable between the first tube mounting member and the second tube mounting member. The seat frame component mounting system further comprises a fastener extending at least partially through the second tube mounting member, the tube, and the first tube mounting member to couple the second tube mounting member to the first tube mounting member. A clamping force is substantially evenly applied from the second tube mounting member and the first tube mounting member against an outer circumferential surface of the tube via the fastener.

EXPANDABLE SEAT LEG ATTACHMENT FIXTURE
20170274999 · 2017-09-28 · ·

Described is an extendable joint (10,100) for attaching a passenger seat to a cabin floor or support structure. The extendable joint (10,100) exhibits behavior of a rigid mounting during normal usage, such as when carrying or securing passengers or luggage. However, if a force threshold is exceeded, such as with an emergency situation, the extendable joint (10,100) may lengthen to absorb energy applied from the cabin floor through the passenger seat and vice versa. Additional force damping mechanisms may also be incorporated into the joint to further absorb, distribute, or reduce loadings that may otherwise separate the passenger seat from the floor or support structure.
