Disclosed is a seat rail pair (2) for adjustment of a vehicle seat (8), in particular of a motor vehicle seat, in an adjustment direction (x), comprising a guide rail (10) extending parallel to the adjustment direction (x) for fastening to a vehicle floor, and a fastening rail (21), which is adjustably guided on the guide rail (10) in the adjustment direction (x) for fastening the vehicle seat (8), wherein an energy absorber element (5) is provided in a path, which introduces the force acting on the vehicle seat (8) into the vehicle structure, which energy absorber element permits a movement of the vehicle seat in the adjustment direction (x) under plastic deformation when a predetermined value of the force is exceeded.

A raisable seat for a vehicle, comprising a frame for a seating portion, a rail, a raising mechanism suitable for moving the seating portion frame relative to the rail between a lowered position and a raised position, said raising mechanism comprising on each side of the seat at least one connecting rod, said connecting rod having a rod body with an upper end connected to the frame and a lower end connected to the rail, at least one connecting rod also comprising a protuberance extending from the lower end, the protuberance extending facing the rail, said connecting rod being adapted to deform, in the event of an impact, between a first state in which a gap separates the rail and the protuberance regardless of the position of the seating portion frame between the lowered position and the raised position, and a second state in which the protuberance is in contact at least locally with the rail.

An armrest assembly for a vehicle includes a displaceable armrest element and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly is configured for translating the displaceable armrest element between a deployed configuration and a folded configuration. The linkage assembly includes a spring-actuated pivoting over-center link configured to disengage the linkage assembly to allow the displaceable armrest element to rotate. An actuator is provided which on sensing an impact ruptures a frangible fastener holding the over-center link in a substantially parallel orientation to at least one drive link, thereby allowing the spring-actuated over-center linkage to pivot relative to the at least one drive link.

A singular energy absorber and an offset pilot seat including the same. The pilot seat includes a seat base, a seat bucket positioned laterally offset relative to a centerline of the seat base, a singular motion controller movably coupling the seat bucket to the seat base, wherein the singular motion controller is centered relative to the seat bucket and laterally offset relative to the seat base, and the singular energy absorber associated with the singular motion controller, the singular energy absorber operative to maintain relative positions of components of the singular motion controller during normal use of the rotorcraft pilot seat and allow relative motion between the components of the singular motion controller during a dynamic event.

A decoupling module for two releasably interconnected components may have a module housing with a first coupling interface for one of the components and with a hollow space. The module may also have a locking unit which is mounted axially movably in the module housing and, in an initial state, protrudes at least partially from the module housing to lock the two components releasably to each other. The module may also have a drive unit which on the other hand is arranged in a positionally fixed manner in the module housing. The locking unit and the drive unit are designed to interact in such a way that, upon triggering or firing of the drive unit, the locking unit can be acted upon or is acted upon abruptly and directly by a pressure surge propagating in the hollow space and moves into the module housing.

The present disclosure concerns a child car seat comprising an active protection system and a system for triggering the active protection system when needed.

A panel holder made of at least one wire which features at least one element for fastening the panel holder to a fixed structure adjacent to the panel holder, and at least one element for fastening the panel holder to a panel. The wire forms a support bracket which in the assembled state of the panel holder and the panel is arranged in a critical region of the panel in which in the event of a crash, a strong crash force acts on the panel.

The present disclosure concerns a child car seat comprising an active protection system and a system for triggering the active protection system when needed.

Disclosed is an adjustment device (103) for the adjustment of the position of a vehicle seat in a longitudinal direction, comprising at least one pair of rails comprising a first, fixed rail (3) and a second rail (5) movably guided thereto in a longitudinal direction (x), and an ancillary locking device (107) which comprises a plurality of first locking structures (24, 25) formed on or connected to the second rail (5), and a plurality of second locking structures (36, 37) formed corresponding to the first locking structures and formed on or connected to the first rail (3). The ancillary locking device is not active in a normal mode and, after introduction of forces in the event of a crash, causes an additional locking of the second rail (5) to the first rail (3) by positively locking of the first and second locking structures (24, 25; 36, 37) to one another.

In order to ensure a locking of the longitudinal position of the pair of seat rails in the event of a crash by the ancillary locking device in any longitudinal positions, the first and second locking structures (24, 25; 36, 37) are arranged on both sides of the respective pair of rails and at regular distances (a) from one another in the longitudinal direction (x), wherein the first locking structures (24a, 25a; 24b, 25b) or the second locking structures (36a, 37b; 36b, 37b) are arranged offset from one another in the longitudinal direction (x) on the two sides of the respective pair of rails.

Seat assemblies and subassemblies are disclosed. The subassemblies include massage and/or ventilation subassemblies that employ tubeless air distribution by fixing sheets together such as by heat-staking. The subassemblies also include a support structure for preassembling the massage, ventilation, and/or electronic components together prior to suspending them in a seat assembly.
