SEAT FORE-AND-AFT ADJUSTER FOR A SEAT, PARTICULARLY A VEHICLE SEAT AND VEHICLE SEAT
A seat fore-and-aft adjuster for a vehicle seat may have a lower rail and an upper rail. The adjuster may also have a drive unit, a gearbox unit having a gearbox housing, and a cover element. The upper rail may have at least one through-hole. The cover element may have at least one covering region, which is formed from two cover legs opposite to and parallel with one another. The cover element may have at least one covering sub-region arranged laterally to the covering region. The covering sub-region is defined by a covering wing protruding vertically in the longitudinal direction from one of the cover legs. The covering region is frictionally and/or interlockingly connected to the housing section, and the covering sub-region covers at least one connecting region of the bracket above that of the upper rail by the covering wing.
LINEAR DRIVE, LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT DEVICE OF A SEAT, AND MO-TOR VEHICLE
A linear drive has at least one rack which is arranged along a longitudinal axis and has a plurality of teeth, a drive shaft arranged in a transverse axis transversely to the longitudinal axis, and at least two propulsion elements, each having at least one propulsion tooth. The at least two propulsion elements are linearly movable in a stroke axis which is oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis and transversely to the drive shaft. The at least two propulsion elements are drivingly coupled to the drive shaft in such a manner that the at least two propulsion elements perform at least one cyclical stroke movement in the course of one rotation of the drive shaft and enter and exit the at least one rack to generate a propulsion in the longitudinal axis. The at least two propulsion elements enter and exit the at least one rack with a phase shift.
ELECTRIC SEAT CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
Provided is an electric seat control apparatus for a vehicle including: a first rail and a second rail mounted at a constant interval on the floor surface of a vehicle body in the forward and rearward directions of a seat; a first movement unit provided with a first motor and mounted between the first rail and the lower surface of the seat to move linearly along the first rail; a second movement unit provided with a second motor and mounted between the second rail and the lower surface of the seat to move linearly along the second rail; and a control unit that simultaneously receives the RPM and a rotational position signal of the first motor and the RPM and a rotational position signal of the second motor to synchronize the RPMs and rotational positions of the first motor and the second motor to match each other.
Safety systems for modular seating
A safety system for a vehicle includes a work table, an airbag, and a controller that includes a processor. The work table is disposed in an extended position and is movable to a reaction position and a stowed position. The processor is configured to receive information indicative of a vehicle event. The processor is further configured to send a command to deploy the airbag based on the information indicative of the vehicle event. When deployed, the airbag expands to abut a bottom surface of the work table and move the work table from the extended position to the reaction position such that the bottom surface of the work table in the reaction position serves as a reaction surface for the airbag.
Vehicle seat arrangement
A vehicle seat arrangement includes a vehicle seat arranged to be adjusted between a forward facing setup and a rearward facing setup and a seat back rotation axle. A seat back is rotatable around a seat back rotation axle between a forward facing seat back setup and a rearward facing seat back setup. The seat cushion is arranged to be adjusted between a forward facing seat cushion setup and a rearward facing seat cushion setup. The seat back rotation axle may be arranged to be fixed in location and the seat cushion may be arranged to be displaceable horizontally or the seat back rotation axle may be arranged to be displaceable horizontally and the seat cushion may be arranged to be fixed in location.
VEHICLE SEATING AND METHODS AND VEHICLES USING THE SAME
A vehicle seat can comprise: a base; a back connected to the base; an arm extending from the base; wherein the arm is configured to attach to a roof rail of a vehicle. A vehicle can comprise: a steering column; engine; a roof comprising a rail; and passenger compartment, wherein the passenger compartment comprises the vehicle seat, wherein the arm is attached to the rail. A method of arranging seating in a vehicle can comprise: sliding an arm of the vehicle seat horizontally along a slot in a roof rail and/or crossrail.

Reinforced track assembly for vehicle seat
A track assembly includes a first track having a first inner surface, a first support coupled to the first inner surface, a second track having a second inner surface, and a second support coupled to the second inner surface. The second track is slidably coupled to the first track. The first support has a first free end that extends from the first inner surface at a downward sloping angle. The second support has a second free end that extends from the second inner surface at an upward sloping angle. The first support and the second support are positioned such that the second free end is disposed above the first free end.
Limited swivel apparatus for a passenger seat
The present disclosure provides a swivel stop comprising a rotating member, a first boss coupled to the rotating member and a second boss coupled to the rotating member, and a second plate having a first interference surface and a second interference surface. An interference between the first boss and the first interference surface and the second boss and the second interference surface tends to limit the rotation of the rotating member with respect to the second plate. The swivel stop may further comprise a rail wherein the second plate is configured to translate along the rail.
