The invention discloses an auxiliary function board of vehicle seats, comprising a device main body, wherein the device main body comprises a bottom plate and a supporting plate mounted on the bottom plate in a pull-out manner; the upper end of the supporting plate forms a horizontal placement surface, and the upper end of the bottom plate is provided with a boss on the side away from the supporting plate; a backing plate is mounted on the boss in an overturning manner; a pull-out plate is inserted from top to bottom on the backing plate; the pull-out plate is provided with a fixing device; the whole device main body is fixedly installed on the two metal rods on the seat back through the fixing device; at least two placing cavities of arbitrary shapes are formed on the bottom plate protruding from one end of the supporting plate.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle seat assembly (10), having motor vehicle seat (12) and having at least one accessory (48) that can be fastened releasably to the motor vehicle seat, wherein the motor vehicle seat has a receiving bushing with insertion opening (30) for the releasable fastening of the accessory, and wherein the accessory has plug-in part (42) that can be inserted into the insertion opening of the receiving bushing, wherein the motor vehicle seat has at least one additional receiving bushing that is arranged offset with respect to the receiving bushing and has additional insertion opening (32), and wherein the insertion opening and the additional insertion opening are assigned insertion directions for plug-in part (44) and for the additional plug-in part that are parallel to one another and are directed in the same direction.

Described are aircraft passenger seat assemblies with a passenger seat, a component with an outer surface attached the passenger seat. An inductive wireless power unit with a coil assembly is included with the aircraft passenger seat assembly, and the coil assembly is positioned within the component. A portion of the outer surface of the component covers the coil assembly. Wires connecting the coil assembly to a power supply are hidden from view within the aircraft passenger seat assembly.

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.

An integrated changing table assembly includes a pivoting panel associated with a vehicle seatback, the pivoting panel including at least one deployable leg member configured for engaging a vehicle cargo area floor when the pivoting panel is deployed. The pivoting panel may be stowed in a recess defined in the vehicle seatback. Additional features may include a safety strap associated with a topmost surface of the deployed panel and a holder associated with a surface of the pivoting panel.

Described are modular folding shelves configured for removably connecting with a passenger seat back to support small items. The modular folding shelves can include an attachment portion configured to removably connect with a passenger seat back, a platform portion, and a folding support element connected between the attachment portion and the platform portion. The folding support element can be configured to fold between the attachment portion and platform portion when the platform portion is stowed, and to extend when the platform portion is deployed such that the folding support element supports the platform portion and prevents it from extending beyond the deployed configuration. The platform portion is pivotally connected with the attachment portion to allow the platform portion to fold upward and rest against or proximate to the passenger seat back when the modular shelf is installed and in a stowed configuration, and to extend away from the passenger seat back in a deployed configuration.

A reading/lighting system in a vehicle includes a reading/lighting lamp disposed on a backrest of the vehicle. A reading/lighting area illuminated by the reading/lighting lamp is focused when a table disposed on the backrest of the vehicle is in a use position such that the reading/lighting area illuminates a surface of the table and, when the table is in a non-use position, the reading/lighting area is focused such that the reading/lighting area illuminates a reading area.

Described is a passenger seat having a seat member moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position and at least one actuator coupled to at least one portion of the seat member, wherein the at least one actuator is activable without direct contact with a passenger's hand to change a lock state of the seat member, and wherein an unlocked state of the seat member permits movement of the seat member between the stowed position and the deployed position.

Described are tray tables having a shroud and a core assembly. The shroud may form an outer surface of the tray table. The core assembly may be within the shroud and may include a top sheet, a bottom sheet, and a honeycomb core. The honeycomb core may be between the top sheet and the bottom sheet. The honeycomb core may define a plurality of cells.

A movable close-out shroud suitably configured to substantially cover, partially block, or otherwise close out an articulating opening to a cavity, void, etc., of a first part, such as a passenger seat section. The close-out shroud is configured to move between a stored position and a close-out position.
