A seating assembly is provided that includes a seating assembly frame that includes a seatback frame, and a seat frame. The seating assembly further includes a seatback panel coupled to an upper portion of the seatback frame and movable between a stored position relative to the seatback frame and an extended position relative to the seatback frame, and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the seatback panel and the seating assembly frame and movable between a first position and a second position in response to an actuating force.

The present disclosure provides a device for reclining a seatback for a vehicle, which may allow a separate actuator to be driven by a switching signal of a lever switch when a user operates the lever switch with only a small force such that a cable connected to a latch for locking or unlocking a recliner may be pulled in an unlock direction of the recliner, thereby implementing the reclining operation for adjusting an angle of the seatback in a semiautomatic manner.

Proposed is a seat retainer in which first outer teeth and first inner teeth or second outer teeth and second inner teeth are engaged with each other at an angle, thereby a gap between a gear plate and a first flange or between the gear plate and a second flange can be removed.

A vehicle seat includes a back frame having opposing side members and side brackets pivotally connected to the opposing side members about a pivot axis such that the back frame is pivotal between a reclined position and a folded position. A spring-assist system is configured to urge pivoting of the back frame towards the folded position. The spring-assist system including a torsion rod spring extending between the side members at a location that is radially outboard of the pivot axis to generate an off-axis moment that urges the back frame towards the folded position.

An object position determining system, applied to a vehicle, comprising: at least one light source, configured to emit light; at least one optical sensor, configured to sense optical data generated based on reflected light of the light; and a processing circuit, configured to compute distance information between the optical sensor and at least one object which generates the reflected light, and real time vehicle orientation data; wherein the processing circuit determines at least one position of the object according to the distance information and the real time vehicle orientation data.

A vehicle seat with an energy absorption structure, includes a cushion side plate and an angle adjuster lower connection plate, wherein an impact groove is provided on the angle adjuster lower connection plate, and the impact groove includes a straight groove part and a circular groove part communicating each other from top to bottom. The vehicle seat further includes an energy absorption disc including an annular part, a position part and impact fracture parts connected between the annular part and the position part. A first nut is securely coupled to the cushion side plate. A step bolt is provided including a head part, a step part and a stud which are coaxially connected in sequence. The stud bolt passes through the circular groove part, the annular part and threads to the first nut to make the step part passing through the circular groove part and press-fitting with the energy absorption disc. The vehicle seat has a simple structure, convenient installation, and can absorb energy during collision so as to reduce the head rebound speed during the vehicle collision and protect passengers, thereby improving vehicle safety level.

A second bracket of a vehicle seat reclining device includes a first pawl restriction portion and a second pawl restriction portion arranged respectively in correspondence with a first pawl and a second pawl to restrict movement of the first pawl and the second pawl in the radial direction. The second pawl restriction portion is located toward the positive direction and a radially inner side from the first pawl restriction portion. Negative direction ends of the first pawl restriction portion and the second pawl restriction portion are arranged to contact positive direction corners of the limitation portions of the first pawl and the second pawl when a rotation angle of the second bracket relative to the first bracket is a specified angle. The first pawl restriction portion allows movement of the second pawl toward the radially outer side.

An occupant support adapted for use in a vehicle includes a seat bottom coupled to a floor of the vehicle and a seat back configured to pivot about a seat-back pivot axis relative to the seat bottom between an upright position and a folded-forward position. The occupant support further includes an upper-back support system configured to support an upper back of an occupant of the occupant support.
