A detachable vehicle seat includes: a seat cushion including a seat latch for selectively securing the seat cushion to a vehicle body, and a seat control device for selectively unlatching the seat latch; a seatback pivotally attached to the seat cushion via a recliner device, the recliner device including a recliner control device configured to selectively cause the recliner device to be in a first state for locking the seatback in an upright position and a second state for locking the seatback in a stowage position; a first connecting element connecting the recliner device to the seat control device so that the seat latch can be unlatched only when the recliner device is in the second state; and a second connecting element connecting the seat latch to the recliner control device so that the recliner device can take the first state only when the seat latch is fully latched.

A latch device for a vehicle includes an engageable member having an engageable notch engageable with a striker, a shaft member by which the engageable member is rotatably supported, a first body including a first support portion by which one end of the shaft member is supported, and a second body including a coupling portion coupled to the first body, and a second support portion by which another end of the shaft member is supported. The engageable member is rotatable about the shaft member between a first position in which engagement with the striker is achievable and a second position in which disengagement from the striker is permitted. With the first body, an entrance of the engageable notch through which the striker comes in the engageable notch in a state where the engageable member is in the first position is covered from one side in an axial direction of the shaft member. With the second body, the engageable notch in the state where the engageable member is in the first position is not covered, but left uncovered in entirety, from another side in the axial direction of the shaft member.

A child restraint spin lock is adapted to be installed in a safety seat that includes a base member and a mid base being rotatable relative to the base member about an axis. The child restraint spin lock includes two locking components and a pivot component. The locking components are adapted to be co-rotatably connected to the mid base, are spaced apart from each other, and are adapted to be movable relative to the base member between a locked position and an unlocked position. The pivot component is adapted to be rotatable relative to the mid base about the axis, and is pivotally connected between the locking components such that movements of the locking components are synchronized by rotation of the pivot component.

A pull-strap assembly for actuating a recline mechanism of a vehicle seat includes a clevis having first and second pieces configured to snap into one another, wherein the pieces cooperate to define a cylindrical body and a cable connector. The assembly further includes a fixed anchor and a tension member having a fixed end connected to the anchor, an intermediate portion looped around the cylindrical body, and a free end. The clevis is configured to move towards the anchor responsive to the free end being pulled by a user to release the recline mechanism.

A seat assembly having a seat bottom, a seat back, a seat track, and a rear mounting unit. The seat bottom may be pivotally mounted to the seat back. The seat back may be pivotally mounted to the rear mounting unit. The rear mounting unit may be moveably disposed on the seat track.

A seat and accessory connection system for a vehicle includes: a connection base configured to be connected to the vehicle; a seat configured to be removably connected to the vehicle at a first location on the connection base, the seat comprising at least one first connecting feature; and an accessory configured to be removably and selectively connected to either one of the connection base at the first location and the vehicle at a second location on the vehicle. The accessory has at least one second connecting feature for removably connecting the accessory to the first location and the second location. The connection base has at least one third connecting feature configured to selectively engage the at least one first connecting feature of the seat and the at least one second connecting feature of the accessory to removably connect the seat or the accessory at the first location.

Disclosed is a vehicle seat locking device including: a single latch having an engaging groove and first through third arm portions; a ratchet having a restraining portion engaging the first and second arm portions, restraining the latch in first and second latching positions respectively; and an engagement auxiliary lever having a first auxiliary arm portion abutting with a leg portion of a striker and a second auxiliary arm portion pivoting by this abutment. The latch pivots from an unlatching position to the first latching position by engaging its engaging groove with the leg portion entered a striker entering groove of a baseplate, and pivots to a second latching position by the pivot of the second auxiliary arm portion. The leg portion exits the engaging groove by the pivot of the latch to the second latching position to be clamped between the engagement auxiliary lever and the third arm portion.

A rest device for a vehicle, including a support and an element that adjustable relative to the support. In addition, a drive unit including a drive motor is provided, which can be activated for the motor-driven adjusting of the element relative to the support, the drive unit being designed such that the element can be adjusted relative to the support both manually and using a motor.

A vehicle proposed herein includes a swivel, a lock mechanism selectively locking and unlocking the swivel, a seat mounted on the swivel, a plurality of surface pressure sensors each disposed along an outer surface of the seat and detecting a pressure distribution within a predetermined area of the outer surface, and a controller configured to cause the lock mechanism to be unlocked based on a change in pressure distribution or a surface pressure that is detected by any of the plurality of surface pressure sensors.

A vehicle seat is provided having a track assembly to allow a seat bottom to slide in a fore-aft direction. A lock assembly is connected to the track assembly and moveable between a locked status and an unlocked status, wherein in the locked status the seat bottom is prevented from sliding, and in the unlocked status, the seat bottom is allowed to slide. A seatback is pivotally connected to the seat bottom. When the seatback is pivoted forward to a first inclined position, the seatback engages and moves the lock assembly to the unlocked status. In the unlocked status, the seat bottom is biased to slide rearward to a rear storage position. In the rear storage position, the lock assembly is moved to the locked status.
