Removable Seat Used With A Long Rail Assembly
A long rail assembly for use in an automotive vehicle has a long rail, a power rail drive assembly, and a latch assembly. The latch assembly removably couples the vehicle seat to the power rail drive assembly. When the latch assembly is latched, the seat is capable of power sliding adjustment and can be moved along a channel axis to a desired position within the interior of the vehicle. When the latch assembly is unlatched, the entire seat can be removed from the vehicle to provide for added space and variability in the vehicle interior configuration.
CONVEYANCE SEAT
A conveyance seat includes: a seat back; a seat cushion which includes a pair of cushion side frames extending in a front to back direction of the seat; a slide rail which slides the seat back and the seat cushion in the front to back direction of the seat; a connecting member connecting the seat cushion and the slide rail; and a first rotation portion which-rotatably connects the connecting member to the slide rail, the seat cushion is movable from a first height position to a second height position below the first height position in an up and down direction of the seat, and when the seat cushion moves to the second height position, the first rotation portion is disposed at the same height position as the slide rail in a side view of the conveyance seat to suppress an increase in size of the seat.
Safety device
A safety device for a lock mechanism may have a housing that encapsulates the lock mechanism. The housing may have at least one opening, through which at least one adjustment element coupled to the lock mechanism is guidable. The at least one opening may have a sealing element. A seat track for a seat is also disclosed. The seat track may have a first track assembly with at least one track member, a second track assembly with at least one further track member, and a lock mechanism configured to lock an adjustment of the seat.
System comprising a vehicle seat track and a support
A system comprising a vehicle seat track, in particular automotive vehicle, and a support, where the track comprises a fixed profile intended to be added onto the chassis of the vehicle and a mobile profile configured for sliding relative to the fixed profile. The support comprises an engaging part forming a hook, where the engaging part is configured for engaging with the mobile profile in case of impact of the vehicle.
Pivoting seat assembly
A seat assembly includes a mounting plate and a base frame rotatable mounted on the mounting plate by a swivel mechanism for swiveling the seat assembly between forward-facing and rearward-facing configurations. A seat portion is operably coupled to the base frame and includes a front edge. The seat portion can be pivoted between use and upright non-use positions. The seat assembly includes a first rotational footprint when the seat portion is in the use position and a second rotational footprint that is less than the first rotational footprint when the seat portion is in the upright non-use position. The second rotational footprint is intended to accommodate swiveling of the seat assembly between the forward-facing and rearward-facing configurations within a vehicle interior.
Adjusting Device of Front and Rear Positions of Seat
In an arrangement which includes a seat support body slidably supported on a fixed rail fixed to a floor; a power supply device supplying power to an electrical component on a seat side; and a drive device driving the seat support body in a front-and-rear direction and having a motor and a transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through an interior of the fixed rail, the power supply device includes: a housing housing an electric wire for power supply; and a slider linked to the seat support body and slidable within the fixed rail. The electric wire is drawn out from the housing, retained by the slider and slidable within the fixed rail. The slider has an interference-avoiding portion for avoiding interference with the transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through the interior of the fixed rail. Accordingly, the transmission member of the drive device and the slider for retaining the electric wire, which slides within the fixed rail, can be arranged in proximity to each other within the fixed rail while avoiding interference therebetween, thus enabling simplification and a reduction in the size of a rail structure.
ROTATING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE INTERIOR ITEM, AND ROTATING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE SEAT
A rotating device for a vehicle interior item is provided with latching means that is provided on a side of a base member having a rotation support part, and engagement means that is provided on a side of a rotating member supporting a vehicle interior item and being rotatably supported by the rotation support part, and can be switched between a state in which the engagement means engages with the latching means so as to suppress detachment of the rotating member from the base member and a state in which the engagement with the latching means is released when the rotating member attains the rotatable state, wherein the latching means and the engagement means are disposed further outside than the rotating member in plan view at least when the rotating member is in the non-rotating state. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress an increase in the height while suppressing detachment when the vehicle interior item is not rotating.
SEAT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
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.
Adjusting device of front and rear positions of seat
In an arrangement which includes: a seat support body slidably supported on a fixed rail fixed to a floor; a power supply device supplying power to an electrical component on a seat side; and a drive device driving the seat support body in a front-and-rear direction and having a motor and a transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through an interior of the fixed rail, the power supply device includes: a housing an electric wire for power supply; and a slider linked to the seat support body and slidable within the fixed rail. The electric wire is drawn out from the housing, retained by the slider and slidable within the fixed rail. The slider has an interference-avoiding portion for avoiding interference with the transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through the interior of the fixed rail. Accordingly, the transmission member of the drive device and the slider for retaining the electric wire, which slides within the fixed rail, can be arranged in proximity to each other within the fixed rail while avoiding interference therebetween, thus enabling simplification and a reduction in the size of a rail structure.
Reinforcement bracket with integrated end stop
A vehicle seat including a fixed rail assembly, a translatable rail, and a translatable bracket. The fixed rail assembly includes a fixed rail and a fixed bracket extending from the fixed rail assembly. The translatable rail is configured to translate in a longitudinal direction along the fixed rail. The translatable bracket is fixed relative to the translatable rail such that the translatable rail and the translatable bracket translate in unison. The translatable bracket is configured to retain portions of the translatable rail within portions of the fixed rail. The translatable bracket includes a translating stop. The translatable rail is configured to translate between a first position in which the translating stop engages a fixed stop and a second position in which the translating stop is spaced apart from the translating stop.
