An embodiment steering system for a dual joystick includes left and right joysticks respectively disposed at left and right sides of a seat and configured to rotate about rotary shafts to steer, feedback actuators configured to provide reaction torque and a steering angle variation to the left and right joysticks, respectively, and a controller configured to control the feedback actuators, generate a target steering angle, and steer a vehicle based on a steering input from a driver and factors reflecting a driving state of the vehicle.

A wheel loader representing a work vehicle includes an operator's seat, a console, and an armrest. The console includes an operation portion. The console is provided lateral to the operator's seat. The armrest includes an upper surface. The armrest is provided lateral to the operator's seat and in the rear of the operation portion. The armrest operates independently of the console such that a rear end of the upper surface is laterally displaced in a top view.

Systems and methods for securing an emergency exit door on an armrest of a seat are provided. A system includes a latch connected to an armrest of a seat of a vehicle. The latch is moveable relative to the armrest between a stowed position and a deployed position. The latch is structured and arranged to engage an edge of a door that is associated with an exit of the vehicle to hold the door on the armrest.

The invention relates to a surface temperature-controlling device, in particular for use in vehicles, comprising a first air-distributing layer which has multiple air inlets extending through the first air-distributing layer and multiple air outlets extending through the first air-distributing layer, and a second air-distributing layer which fluidically connects air inlets and air outlets of the first air-distributing layer, wherein the air inlets are designed to introduce pre-heated or pre-cooled air into the second air-distributing layer, and the air outlets are designed to discharge air out of the second air-distributing layer.

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.

Proposed is a separately movable console structure including a first console positioned underneath an armrest cover and configured to move along a console rail, an insertion portion being formed inside the first console, and a second console positioned behind the first console and configured to move along the console rail. In particular, a protrusion is formed on the second console to be inserted into the insertion portion. The separately movable console structure further includes: a first drive unit fastened to the console rail and configured to apply a driving force to the first console, a second drive unit positioned adjacent to the first drive unit and configured to apply a driving force to the second console, and a controller connected to the first console and configured to move the first and second consoles independently of each other or to move the first and second consoles together with each other.

A working vehicle includes an operator seat, an armrest arranged on a side of the operator seat, and a speed shifter to change a traveling speed. The armrest includes an operation lever to be swung back and forth to cause the speed shifter to perform acceleration and deceleration, and an operation switch to be pressed to cause the speed shifter to perform acceleration and deceleration.

Provided is an armrest device that can be positioned in an appropriate position suitable for the build of the vehicle occupant. The armrest device comprises an interior member provided on an inboard side of a vehicle door, and an armrest main body supported by the interior member so as to be moveable between an initial position and a projecting position more inboard and forward than the initial position.

A vehicle seat includes a seat bottom, a seat back, and an armrest. A human-machine interface for controlling features of the vehicle seat or vehicle is coupled to the armrest.

A dynamic ergonomic surface system for use in a motor vehicle includes an ergonomic surface that is inlayed in a surrounding surface and transitions between states, including: a neutral state in which the ergonomic surface is consistent with the surrounding surface, and at least one ergonomic support state in which the ergonomic surface provides ergonomic support for a user operating an input device. The dynamic ergonomic surface system also includes a sensor system that detects events triggering the transition between states, and a controller that controls the ergonomic surface to transition between the states in response to the detected events.
