A system for a boat can include a pair of seat rails configured to simultaneously couple the seat to a floor of the boat in any one of multiple positions in a longitudinal direction of the seat rails, the seat rails being parallel to each other when the seat is coupled to the floor.

A gravity-assisted tracking base assembly for an aircraft seat includes base rails mounted to floor tracks in an aircraft cabin by floor track fittings in fixed positions, the base rails connected by a tracking member for providing longitudinal tracking while minimizing added height. The base rails include tracking slots extending longitudinally, and the tracking member includes tracking elements translatable forward and backward along the tracking slots, allowing an aircraft seat mounted to the tracking member to translate forward and backward relative to the base. The tracking member includes a locking mechanism for locking the tracking member and seat in intermediate positions within the tracking slots. The tracking slots may be oriented slightly downward from the horizontal to allow for gravity-assisted tracking or to counteract the nose-up flight angles associated with cruising altitude, providing for easier seat tracking.

A passenger seat for an aircraft, including a bottom support configured to be connected to a floor of the aircraft, a seat pan frame, and a support structure interconnecting the seat pan frame to the bottom support, the support structure including a front support member pivotally connected to a front end of the seat pan frame, the front support member including a respective strut on each side of the seat pan frame, each respective strut having a bottom end rigidly connected to the bottom support and an opposed top end located under the seat pan frame, the bottom end being inwardly, downwardly and rearwardly offset with respect to the top end.

A seat adjustment assembly, and a seat and vehicle including same, are described. The seat adjustment assembly includes an assembly frame being adapted for connecting to a seat; at least one first roller rotatably connected to the at least one wall; and at least one second roller rotatably connected to the at least one wall, the assembly frame and the rollers defining a cavity, the at least one first roller being disposed generally above the cavity, the at least one second roller being disposed generally below the cavity, for each roller, when contact surfaces of the roller are in contact with a rail disposed in the cavity, the contact surfaces of the roller being offset from a lateral center of the roller, the roller and the rail defining a passage between the rail and the lateral center of the roller.

The present invention relates to a replacement seat for utility vehicles configured to couple to the frame of the utility vehicle without modifications and/or additional parts.

A vehicle seat mounting system for mounting a vehicle seat to a vehicle chassis includes a first mounting arrangement with a first chassis attachment portion configured to fixedly connect to the vehicle chassis and a first seat attachment portion configured to fixedly connect to the vehicle seat. The first seat attachment portion is movable relative to the first chassis portion in at least one direction. The first mounting arrangement further includes a compressible member interposed between the first chassis attachment portion and the first seat attachment portion. The compressible member is configured to absorb impact forces between the vehicle chassis and the vehicle seat.

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side utility vehicle having a skid plate positioned beneath a frame, wherein at least a portion of an edge of the skid plate extends upward above a lowermost portion of the frame. The vehicle may further or alternatively include a brake and steering mount coupled to the frame, at least one tie down integrated into the frame, at least on deflection shield positioned between a radiator of the vehicle and a seating area of the vehicle, a floor having at least one channel, and/or a propeller shaft accessible through a console of the floor of the vehicle.

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side powersports vehicle having a utility bed recessed in the rear body portion below an upper surface, the utility bed forming a stepped portion relative to the rear body portion and having a maximum lateral width greater than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, and a minimum width less than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, whereby a spare wheel may be stored on the stepped portion of the utility bed. As shown herein, the utility bed is defined as a removable tub, which can be removed from the rear body portion. The utility bed has defined troughs in a floor thereof angled rearwardly wherein the utility bed has drains which drain away from any heat source of the vehicle. The seats of the vehicle allow longitudinal movement and tilt capability.
