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.

A seat pan for a vehicle seat. The seat pan includes a rear portion and a front portion. The seat pan includes a flexible area arranged between the rear portion and the front portion, said flexible area enabling the front portion to be arranged in a tilted state relative to the rear portion and wherein the seat pan is formed in a single piece.

Described are adjustable seats having a lower portion of a back rest attached to a seat frame having an upper frame and a lower frame. A pivot axis is positioned at an upper end of the lower portion of the back rest, and an upper portion of the back rest is pivotally attached to the pivot axis. The location of the pivot axis is configured to be positioned below a person's shoulders when the person is seated in the adjustable seat. The upper portion of the back rest is also pivotally adjustable relative to the lower portion of the back rest. A seat pan having a front portion pivotally coupled to a rear portion can be attached to the upper frame. An actuation mechanism is configured to simultaneously control a vertical height of the upper frame and a rotational position of the front portion of the seat pan.

A seat includes a pivotally movable bottom, a pivotally movable backrest independent from the bottom, a first supporter suspending and supporting a front side of the bottom, and a second supporter suspending a rear side of the bottom from a side behind the backrest section, and pivotally movably supporting the bottom together with the first supporter. According to the seat, the front side and the rear side of the bottom are suspended and supported. Thus, compared to a seat in which a front side of a bottom is supported in a cantilever manner, the seat is capable of ensuring bearing capacity for a seating load. The rear side of the bottom is suspended and supported from a side behind the backrest section. Accordingly, a support structure around the bottom including the front side of the bottom can be downsized.

A seat adjustment apparatus for a vehicle includes: a set bracket having a rear part to which a back frame is rotatably connected; and a cushion frame disposed on an upper side of the set bracket and to be tilted by a link mechanism. In particular, the link mechanism includes: a first link member which is hinge-engaged with a front part of the set bracket, connected to a driving unit and supports a front part of the cushion frame to make the front part of the cushion frame ascend and descend by the driving unit; a second link member hinge-engaged with a rear part of the set bracket and the cushion frame to guide the rear part of the cushion frame; and a third link member hinge-engaged with the set bracket and the cushion frame to determine a tilting position of the cushion frame when the cushion frame ascends.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat carrier defining a central opening. A seatback is pivotally coupled to the seat carrier. A seat flexmat is disposed in the central opening and operable between flexed and unflexed conditions. The vehicle seating assembly also includes a first thigh extension that is extendable and rotatable relative to the seat carrier and a second thigh extension that is extendable and rotatable relative to the seat carrier. The first thigh extension includes a first thigh flexmat operable between flexed and unflexed conditions. The second thigh extension includes a second thigh flexmat operable between flexed and unflexed conditions.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a frame and an articulating flexmat assembly operably coupled with the frame. The articulating flexmat assembly includes an upper flexmat extending from a first side of the frame to a second side of the frame and a lower flexmat extending from the first side of the frame to the second side of the frame. The upper flexmat includes an upper static portion and an upper dynamic portion disposed above the upper static portion and adjustable by upper linear actuators that draw the upper dynamic portion toward the upper static portion to arc the upper flexmat outward. The lower flexmat includes a lower static portion adjacent to the upper static portion and a lower dynamic portion disposed below the lower static portion and adjustable by lower linear actuators that draw the lower dynamic portion toward the lower static portion to arc the lower flexmat outward.

A vehicle seat is configured to adjust a position of a seat cushion by a multi-bar link provided at each of both sides of the seat cushion, where the multi-bar link includes one seat cushion frame of a plurality of seat cushion frames forming both side frames of the seat cushion, and front and rear links pivotably connected to the respective front and rear of the one seat cushion frame. The vehicle seat includes a drive device configured to rotate the multi-bar link such that an end of the front link connected to the one seat cushion frame is lifted up and an end of the rear link connected to the one seat cushion frame is simultaneously moved down.
