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.

An aircraft seat device has a multi-part backrest frame unit comprising at least one first side frame element, at least one second side frame element, which is arranged on a side of the backrest frame unit that is opposite from the first side frame element, and at least one transverse frame element which is realized separately from the side frame elements and connects the side frame elements, wherein the transverse frame element is realized at least substantially plate-shaped.

Vehicle seat

A seat back pad 70 has a groove 73 for tucking a skin material therein, formed at borders between a central portion 71 and side portions 72. A hole (slot hole 74) is formed in a bottom of the groove 73 along the groove 73. A tuck-in wire 76 for tucking the skin material in includes a plurality of tuck-in portions 76A provided along the groove 73, and a connecting portion (detour portion 76B) detouring around the hole and connecting the tuck-in portions 76A. With this configuration, when an upper body of an occupant P subsides into a seat back S2 in a rear-end collision of a vehicle, the central portion 71, defined by the groove 73 as a border, is easily and sufficiently moved rearward relative to the left and right side portions 72. Furthermore, the tuck-in wire 76 is not exposed through the hole, and thus adhesion between the seat back pad 70 and the tuck-in wire 76 can be improved.

Child safety seat or baby carrier for mounting on a motor vehicle seat and side impact bar for such a seat
11560073 · 2023-01-24 · ·

A child safety seat or a baby carrier for mounting on a motor vehicle seat, particularly a motor vehicle side seat, has a seat tray and a side impact bar mounted thereon which can be moved from a rest position located in particular within a standard width to a functional position located in particular outside thereof, and vice versa, wherein the side impact bar is positioned in particular on both sides of the seat tray so as to transmit any lateral forces behind the back of a child sitting in the child safety seat and to direct said lateral forces into the seat tray. A side impact bar is used with and mounted on the child safety seat or baby carrier.

TWO FUNCTION MECHANISM TO ENABLE TWO MODES OF OPERATION OF A VEHICULAR SEAT

A mechanism disposed between a frame structure and a base structure, the mechanism comprising a damper including a piston rod. The damper is mechanically connected between the frame structure and the base structure in a normal mode of operation. The damper enables a longitudinal and suspended upward and downward movement of the frame perpendicular to a plane. An energy-absorbing arrangement that includes a plastically deformable absorbing element. The plastically deformable absorbing element is adapted to plastically deform in response to stresses greater than a predetermined threshold stress along an axis perpendicular to the plane. A bar mechanically attached to the plastically deformable absorbing element and having an engagement portion.

Hinge arrangement for a vehicle seat

A hinge arrangement may be used for a vehicle seat bottom to facilitate pivoting of the seat bottom to open a storage area below the seat bottom. The hinge arrangement may include at least one hinge having two plates connected by a pivot pin and a support structure separate from the at least one hinge. The support structure may be positioned adjacent to the at least one hinge to stop the hinge pin or pins from being ejected in the presence of an impact force.

Device for influencing a backward movement of a seat and seat
11535138 · 2022-12-27 · ·

The invention relates to a device for influencing a backward movement of a seat (1), in particular a backrest part (1.1) of the seat (1), with at least one deformation element (4) arranged in a hinged area (7) of the seating part (1.2) of the seat (1), the deformation element (4) being configured such that the deformation element can be deformed due to a force acting on the seating part (1.2) and/or the back part (1.1) at a predefined torque curve. The invention also relates to a seat (1), in particular a vehicle seat, comprising a seating part (1.2), a backrest part (1.1) and the type of device.

Interior structure of vehicle

A seat mounted in the cabin of a vehicle has side supports for supporting the respective right and left lateral sides of the upper half body of an occupant. The seat also has a seat frame and a side support frame incorporated in the side support on the inner side in the vehicle width direction and secured on the seat frame. A console box is mounted adjacent to the seat, on the inner side of the seat in the vehicle width direction. The side support frame and the console box or the console frame are positioned so as to at least partially overlap each other in a side view.

Vehicle seat mounting bracket for energy attenuating member

A vehicle assembly includes a vehicle body and a vehicle seat. The vehicle body includes a frame backing member elongated in a length direction of the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat includes a seat base and a seat back connected to the seat base. The seat back is connected to the frame backing member. A mounting bracket is connected to an upper portion of a seat back frame. An energy attenuating member positioned in a space between the seat back frame and the frame backing member interconnects the mounting bracket and the frame backing member. During a crash event the energy attenuating member is configured to collapse between the seat back and the frame backing member to absorb kinetic energy in the vehicle seat when the seat back is driven toward the frame backing member.

Moving seats in a vehicle to enhance occupant protection

The disclosure provides for a system. The system may include a rotational control system configured to rotate a seat of a vehicle, and one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices may have one or more processors that are configured to determine that an impact is imminent at a location on the vehicle along a collision axis. A most favorable orientation may be determined by the one or more processors based on the determined location and collision axis. Using the rotational control system, the one or more processors may rotate the seat of the vehicle to the most favorable orientation in order to reduce risks of serious injury to a passenger in the seat caused by the imminent impact. A translational control system may be used by the one or more processors to translate the seat of the vehicle to a position relative to the determined location.
