Seat tracking system
A seat tracking system includes a longitudinal tracking member mechanically coupled to a first portion of a seat, and a tracking block mechanically coupled to a second portion of the seat. The tracking block includes a bore that is adapted to receive the tracking member, such that the tracking member slides within the tracking block to enable the first portion and the second portion to slide longitudinally with respect to each other. At least one stand is mechanically coupled to the second portion of the seat and has a through-hole that is adapted to receive a lateral tracking member, which is mechanically coupled to the first portion of the seat. The lateral tracking member enables the first portion and the second portion to slide longitudinally with respect to each other. A swivel plate mechanically couples the at least one stand to a seat base such that the seat is rotatable.
VEHICLE SEAT RAIL
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle seat rail. The vehicle seat rail includes a lower rail fixed to a bottom of a vehicle, an upper rail fixed to a seat at an upper portion thereof and coupled to the lower rail to be slidably movable, a restoring spring fixedly coupled to the lower rail at one end thereof in a longitudinal direction and configured to provide a restoring force to the upper rail, and a connection bracket configured to connect the restoring spring to the upper rail. The lower rail may accommodate the restoring spring and the connection bracket to implement a walk-in function even when the lower rail is buried in the floor.
RECONFIGURABLE VEHICLE SEAT FOR CHILDREN
A seat for at least one occupant of a vehicle includes a seat cushion, a back, and a first side component. The seat cushion has a front end, a back end, and a longitudinal axis extending through the front and back ends. The seat cushion includes a rear portion and a front portion. The rear portion is disposed at the back end and includes a first top surface that is configured to engage the occupant. The front portion is disposed at the front end. At least one of the front and rear portions is configured to move along the longitudinal axis with respect to the other of the front and rear portions. The back is disposed at the back end of the seat cushion. The first side component is coupled to the back. The first side component is configured to move between a stowed configuration and a use configuration.
PASSENGER SEAT FOR AIRCRAFT
A passenger seat for an aircraft has a fixed seat portion with a front facing toward a first direction of the aircraft. The fixed seat portion has a centerline spaced equally from opposed lateral sides of the fixed seat portion. A first engagement member extends upwardly from the front at the centerline to a first engagement end. A moveable seat portion is mounted onto the fixed seat portion and is displaceable relative thereto. The moveable seat portion has a second engagement member extending downwardly from a front of the moveable seat portion to a second engagement end. The second engagement member is displaceable with the moveable seat portion to position the second engagement end under the first engagement end in an engagement position such that the overlapping first and second engagement ends prevent the moveable seat portion from pitching in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

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.
Off-road vehicle
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.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE WITH ADJUSTABLE SEATS
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.
SOFA BASE
A sofa base system includes a plurality of channel assemblies and a motor. The channel assemblies are disposed on a frame portion adapted for operational engagement with an associated vehicle, and each channel assembly includes a sliding bracket and an outer bracket arranged on the sliding bracket, as well as a guide rod. The sliding bracket and outer bracket are arranged to slide on the guide rods via a plurality of roller members. The sliding bracket and an outer bracket are coupled to a shuttle member that is drive by a drive rod, and the drive rod is operatively connected to the motor via drive shafts and gearboxes.
Tracking Base Assembly for Aircraft Seat
A 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 from a retracted configuration into an extended or berthing configuration (and backward to the retracted configuration). 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.
SEAT TRACKING SYSTEM
A seat tracking system includes a longitudinal tracking member mechanically coupled to a first portion of a seat, and a tracking block mechanically coupled to a second portion of the seat. The tracking block includes a bore that is adapted to receive the tracking member, such that the tracking member slides within the tracking block to enable the first portion and the second portion to slide longitudinally with respect to each other. At least one stand is mechanically coupled to the second portion of the seat and has a through-hole that is adapted to receive a lateral tracking member, which is mechanically coupled to the first portion of the seat. The lateral tracking member enables the first portion and the second portion to slide longitudinally with respect to each other. A swivel plate mechanically couples the at least one stand to a seat base such that the seat is rotatable.
