An adjustment mechanism for a seat, the adjustment mechanism permitting the seat to be adjusted along a motion path that provides adjustment of height and/or back inclination of the seat, the mechanism comprising: a base part; a side part for attaching to the seat; a forward link mounted between the base part and the side part such that the forward link can rotate with respect to both the base part and the side part; a rear link mounted to the base part at a first position, the rear link mounted between the base part and the side part such that the rear link can rotate with respect to both the base part and the side part; an adjustment link attached to the rear link at a second position such that the adjustment link and rear link move in unison; and an adjustable strut mounted between the side part and the adjustment link such that the adjustable strut can rotate with respect to both the side part and the adjustment link, the adjustable strut being mounted to the adjustment link at a third position remote from the second position and mounted to the side part at a fourth position, the adjustable strut having a length running between the third position and the fourth position, the length being changeable between a minimum length and a maximum length to move the seat along the motion path by rotation of the forward and rear links with respect to the base part and side part.

A vertical adjustment system for an aircraft seat is disclosed. The vertical adjustment system may include an actuation assembly. The actuation assembly may include an actuator configured to provide a vertical height adjustment for the aircraft seat. The actuation assembly may include a release mechanism configured to couple to a rotatory portion of the swivel plate. The actuation assembly may include a plurality of vertical stabilizer rods coupled to a portion of the tracking plate. The actuation assembly may include a pillow block assembly. The pillow block assembly may include a plurality of pillow blocks coupled to a portion of the swivel plate. The pillow block assembly may include a plurality of rollers coupled to a portion of the plurality of pillow blocks. The plurality of rollers may be configured to provide stability along the vertical stabilizer rods when the actuator provides the vertical height adjustment.

An alternative seating arrangement of a vehicle with a variety of vehicle restraints and occupant safety systems that are associated with the alternative seating arrangement. Many embodiments include rear facing and side facing seats.

The present invention is an elevated vehicle system. The preferred embodiment of the present invention has a steering wheel, an engine, a plurality of seats, a plurality of windows, and a plurality of wheels. The steering wheel rotates to turn the plurality of wheels. The engine has a transmission and power system. The power system is a battery that provides power to various components within the present invention. The plurality of seats has a seatbelt, a hydraulic lift, and a plurality of buttons. The seatbelt is a flexible, nonelastic material that holds a passenger in their seat. The hydraulic lift is a mechanical system that lifts and lowers the seat. The plurality of buttons is used to control the height positioning of the seat. Additionally, a sensor is used to control the raising and lowering of the seats.

The invention relates to a device for adjusting a seat position for a vehicle seat, which comprises at least one support element for a seat part and can be connected to a seat substructure, the device comprising at least one first leg and at least one second leg, the legs being rotatably arrangeable on the seat substructure and the at least one support element, the at least one first leg and the at least one second leg being mechanically coupled by a connecting element, the length of which can be modified, wherein a modification of the length of the connecting element causes a change in an angle of inclination θ of the support element.

A side facing seat includes a seat back element and a moveable seat base element disposed below the seat back element. The moveable seat base element is moveable at least between a stored position and a seating position. Movement of the moveable seat base element is controlled by an activation element that is configured to engage with a locking mechanism such that the locking mechanism is able to lock the moveable seat base element in the stored position or the seating position.

A vehicle includes: a vehicle body frame; a drive unit provided on the vehicle body frame and movable on a floor surface; a seat disposed above the vehicle body frame to support buttocks of a user; a lift unit provided between the vehicle body frame and the seat to raise and lower the seat between a low position and a high position; and an operation device provided on at least one of a left side portion and a right side portion of the seat. The operation device includes an operation panel having an operation surface that faces upward, a lever extending upward and forward from a rear portion of the operation panel, and multiple operation members provided on the operation surface. At least one of the multiple operation members is disposed in a position overlapping with the lever as seen from above.

A vehicle includes: a vehicle body frame; a drive unit provided on the vehicle body frame and movable on a floor surface; a seat disposed above the vehicle body frame to support buttocks of a user; a lift unit provided between the vehicle body frame and the seat to raise and lower the seat between a low position and a high position; and at least one support member extending downward from the seat and provided, at a lower portion thereof, with a footrest for supporting soles of the user. The support member is provided to be displaceable vertically relative to the seat, and the support member is displaced such that a distance between the seat and the footrest when the seat is in the high position is greater than a distance between the seat and the footrest when the seat is in the low position.

A vehicle seat is provided with a wire that, in the event of a vehicle frontal collision, enables a pulling load applied by a vehicle occupant to a webbing to be transmitted between a cushion frame of a seat cushion and a movable rail of a sliding device. One end portion of the wire is anchored to a first anchoring member of the movable rail, while another end portion of the wire is anchored to a second anchoring member of the cushion frame.
