A vehicle seat hinge assembly includes a first pivoting member that defines a first axis and is coupled to a first bracket disposed on a vehicle floor. The hinge assembly also includes a second pivoting member that defines a second axis and is disposed on a seat. The first pivoting member is pivotable about the first axis between at least first and second positions. The second pivoting member is pivotable about the second axis between at least fixed and released positions.

A tilting mechanism (1) for chairs includes a support frame (2), a structure (4) rotationally coupled to the support frame. An elastic system (80) is interposed between the support frame and the structure to counteract a reaction to the tilting of the structure from an at-rest position to a tilted position. An adjustment system (20) is capable of varying the reaction to the tilting. The elastic system (80) includes at least one elastic element (12) and a first and a second stop element (81, 82) fastened at respective longitudinal end portions of the elastic element, respectively. In the at-rest position, the first and second stop elements are in contact with each other, and the elastic element (12) is in a deformed configuration and generates a residual elastic force that is at least partially released on the first and second stop elements.

An elevation hinge where one of the parts moves in connection to a guiding means on another part, and wherein a supporting effect is achieved on an elevation of said moving part. The elevation hinge comprises a first part including at least one guiding means, and a second part including at least one connection element for guiding the second part along the at least one guiding means. The guiding means includes a second portion adapted for guiding the connection element to and from a first portion. Guidance is performed in a linear manner or in a rotational and linear manner, in relation to the first part. A spring is fixed between a connection element and an anchor pin on the first part.

A chair equipped with a pendant controller to help a person rise from a setting position to a standing position with the assistance of arm rests for stability. The chair allows the rear of the seat to be lifted by an electric lifting device mounted directly under the rear of the seat. The front of the seat is hinged to the front frame of the chair allowing the rear of the seat to be moved up to allow the user to reach a height that allows them to exit the chair. The arm rest allows the person to maintain stability during the process.
