A conveyance seat includes: a seat base; a support portion which supports the occupant from the back side; a flip-up mechanism which flips up the seat base; a biasing member which biases the support portion forward; an engagement portion which is engaged with the support portion to hold the support portion in a upright state against the biasing force; a cancel mechanism which cancels the engagement between the engagement portion and the support portion; and a return mechanism which returns the support portion from a state where the engagement with the engagement portion is canceled by the cancel mechanism to a state where the support portion is engageable with the engagement portion. The return mechanism performs the return operation in accordance with the inclination angle of the support portion inclined forward by the biasing member after the engagement between the engagement portion and the support portion is canceled.

A cable actuator system includes an actuating cable for connection to an actuator and to an actuatable device and a bypass assembly connected to the actuating cable. The bypass assembly includes a bypass input with a first input position and with a second input position. With the bypass input in the first input position the bypass assembly acts on the cable such that an actuating movement of the cable by the actuator moves the cable an actuating distance at the actuatable device to actuate the actuatable device. With the bypass input in the second input position the bypass assembly acts on the cable such that the actuating movement of the cable by the actuator does not move the cable the actuating distance at the actuatable device. A vehicle seat, with a seat base, a backrest, an actuator, and a vehicle seat actuatable device, also includes the cable actuator system.

A rear-seat assembly, comprising a backrest, a transverse pin for articulation of the backrest, and a pair of brackets fixed by welding to respective rear wheelhouses. Each bracket comprises a fixing plate and a central bracket body, which are constituted by two separate components of sheet metal having different thicknesses and fixed together by welding. The fixing plate has front and rear surfaces contacting an inner surface portion of the wheelhouse, and the central bracket body is substantially C-shaped with a central wall and two side walls, which are bent with respect to the central wall and have respective front edges welded to the fixing plate front surface. The central wall has an opening for insertion and blocking of one end of the transverse pin having an internal edge that is not bent, with a thickness equal to the thickness of the central bracket body.

A vehicle seat capable of housing a seat main body includes a seat pivot shaft to which the seat main body is connected to be pivotable, and a detachable leg whose upper end is mounted to the seat main body and whose lower end is detachably held onto a leg holding member on a vehicle body floor. When the seat main body moves from a housed state side to a usage state side, a leg guide portion causes a cushion abutting portion to abut a base abutting portion in advance, thereby guiding the detachable leg moving together with the seat main body to pass above a leg movement inhibiting portion which is a portion of a support base.

A stowable seat assembly having a seat back and a seat bottom. The seat bottom has a seat bottom frame that includes a drive link that is pivotally connected to a front link and the seat back. A pivot link is pivotally connected to the drive link and a side member of the seat bottom frame.

Vehicle seat comprising a backrest, a seat part and a seat part substructure, the seat part substructure being mounted such that it can swivel about a first swivel axis arranged in the width direction of the seat in order to move the seat part substructure together with the seat part from a sitting position into an upright position, a lower region of the backrest with respect to a height direction of the seat and a rear region of the seat part and/or of the seat part substructure with respect to a longitudinal direction of the seat being interconnected in the sitting position by at least one releasable connection means and not being interconnected in the upright position.

A seat having a fixed section, a movable section mounted so as to slide on the fixed section, a seating portion supported by the movable section, and a backrest mounted so as to rotate relative to the movable section to allow folding the backrest forward. The movable section is controlled to move rearward when the backrest is folded forward.

A seating assembly comprises a lower seating assembly having a lower surface displaced above a floor pan, a mounting bracket operably coupling a forward edge of the lower seating assembly to the floor pan, and a storage bin comprising a horizontally disposed frame member disposed between the lower surface and the floor pan, wherein the storage bin, the floor pan, and the lower surface define an enclosure below the lower seating assembly.

A folding seat assembly for e vehicle includes a folding seat pan that is pivotally mounted to a support surface and includes a mounting aperture disposed therethrough. A seatback is coupled to the support surface and includes an outwardly extending bracket with an upwardly extending engagement feature disposed thereon. An engagement member having a frame portion disposed on a lower surface of the seat pan and first and second sidewalls upwardly extending through the mounting aperture, the sidewalls including opposed inwardly extending tabs for receiving the engagement feature therebetween when the seat pan is in a use position.

The present invention relates to a vehicle seat (1), comprising a seat element (2), which can be height-adjusted from a usage position to a stowing position, and comprising a backrest element (3), wherein the backrest element (3) can be pivoted about a stationary primary axis (A), wherein the backrest element (3) is operatively connected to the seat element (2) by means of an articulated system in such a way that the seat element (2) can be transferred from the usage position to the stowing position by means of a pivoting motion of the backrest element (3), wherein the articulated system has a deflecting element (7), wherein the deflecting element (7) can be pivoted about a stationary secondary axis (B), wherein a secondary plane (B), which extends perpendicularly to the direction of travel (D) and comprises the secondary axis (B), is arranged in front of a primary plane (A), which extends perpendicularly to the direction of travel (D) and comprises the primary axis (A), in a direction extending parallel to the direction of travel (D).
