An armrest apparatus for vehicles includes a body that is combined with a mounting area provided on a side surface of an interior of a vehicle to be slidably movable and on which a passenger rests an arm. A movement guide of the apparatus protrudes from the body and is inserted into a mounting groove provided in the mounting area to guide movement of the body along the mounting groove. A mounting unit is provided in the mounting area and supports the body and fixes a position of the body withdrawn from the mounting area through sliding movement.

An armrest release mechanism includes a pivot bush. A release bracket is fixed to the pivot bush. An armrest pivot is supported on the pivot bush for relative rotational movement. A release board is also supported on the pivot bush for relative rotational movement. The release board is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. An armrest lock is attached to the release bracket for relative movement. The armrest lock is also attached to the release board. When the release board is in the locked position the armrest lock is engaged with the armrest pivot to prevent movement of the armrest pivot relative to the pivot bush. When the release board is in the unlocked position the armrest lock is not engaged with the armrest pivot.

Disclosed is a lighting control system of a vehicle seat switch. The lighting control system includes a movable object mounted to be rotatable with respect to a stationary object, a switch mounted on the movable object and configured to emit light, a position recognizer installed in the switch to sense position information of the switch, and a controller configured to receive the position information and to adjust an intensity of light emitted by the switch based on the position information.

An equipment part with a base and at least one pivot device, which is pivotable about a pivot axis relative to the base, with a drive device with which the pivot device is pivotable between a first position and a second position. The pivot device includes a base part and an extension part, wherein the extension part is guided movably relative to the base part in a translatory manner between a primary position and a secondary position. Associated with the base is a first support surface that engages with a second support surface, which is associated with the extension part, and rolls on this during the pivoting movement between the first position and the second position, wherein the extension part moves between the primary and the secondary position.

A seat cover for a vehicle may include a lower or bench portion sized and configured to extend over a horizontally-oriented top of a bench of a vehicle seat. The lower portion may include a first section and a second section separated by a slit. The seat cover for the vehicle may also include an upper or backrest portion coupled to the lower portion. The upper portion may be sized and configured to extend upwardly over a backrest of the vehicle seat. The seat cover may be divided into vertical sections that correspond to the seats of a bench seat in a vehicle. One or more of the vertical sections may be removable to accommodate movement of the vehicle seats.

The present invention relates to an airbag apparatus for a vehicle. In order to attain the purpose, the airbag apparatus for a vehicle according to the present invention comprises: a mounting board positioned in front of a rider; and an airbag module which is installed on the mounting board and, when a vehicle collides, restrains and protects the rider by means of inflating and expanding an airbag cushion toward the rider. Therefore, when the vehicle collides, the airbag cushion is inflated and expanded from the mounting board and thus the rider can safely be protected.

A seat assembly is provided with a seatback having a forward surface to support an upper body of an occupant and an upper console portion formed on a rear surface of the seatback. The seatback pivots at a seatback pivot axis to a use position where the seatback extends generally horizontal. A bottom cushion has an upward surface to support a lower body of the occupant. The cushion pivots at a cushion pivot axis to an access position to access a lower console formed along an interior surface of the seat bottom cushion.

A module trim element having a body defining an upper bearing surface, at least one first covering element defining a first upper bearing surface, mounted rotating about a first axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position, and at least one second covering element defining a second upper bearing surface and mounted rotating about a second axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are substantially parallel and extend at different heights relative to the body, with at least one of the upper bearing surfaces being a flexible surface and at least another one of the upper bearing surfaces being a rigid surface.

The invention relates to an armrest with a support (15) for a vehicle seat (10), the support being movable by a side mechanism (27), relative to a base between a proximal and a distal position and is pivotable by a pivot assembly (28), between a first pivot position and a second pivot position, wherein the side mechanism (27) comprises a first part (16) of the base and a second part (18) on the support (15), wherein the first part (16) is connected to the second part (21) by an articulation (37).

An automobile with a construct and components with an appearance of an airplane. The back seats, and optionally the front seats, are bench style, with armrests that may be rotated out of position and located at opposing sides of the seat when the seat is a two-person bench. For a three-person bench, there are intermediate armrests. The airplane-type seats include headrests integrated into the seat rather than being extendible from the top of the seat. The bench seat is removably affixed to an underlying support substrate, which may be substantially hollow and arranged to enable access to storage within the support substrate. The interior of the automobile of the present invention includes controllable lighting and air located above the passenger's head, either directly or to the side above a window. An instrument and control panel that supplies the driver with information and control expected for an automobile is configured with the appearance and content of an instrument and control panel a pilot would expect to see in an airplane. Controls are positioned sufficiently close to the driver to be accessed and employed as needed. Wheels of the automobile of the present invention are designed to give the appearance of the stators or rotors of an airplane jet engine.
