Race Car Seat Lift

Abstract

A race car seat lift comprising of a seat which is pivotally connected to the frame of the racecar wherein a pneumatic inflatable bag is located beneath the seat. The pneumatic inflatable bag is attached to a switch within reach of the driver. When the driver activates the switch, compressed air inflates the bag, resulting in the seat lifting from its resting position. This lifted position allows the driver to get out of the race car seat more easily.

Claims

1. A race car seat lift comprising of a race car seat, frame, pneumatic inflatable bag, and switch.

2. The race car seat lift comprising of the race car seat, frame, pneumatic inflatable bag, and switch as in claim 1, wherein the race car seat is pivotally connected to the frame in a manner that lifts towards the front of the vehicle.

3. The race car seat lift comprising of the race car seat, frame, pneumatic inflatable bag, and switch as in claim 1, wherein the switch activates the pneumatic inflatable bag.

4. The race car seat lift comprising of the race car seat, frame, pneumatic inflatable bag, and switch as in claim 3, wherein the pneumatic inflatable bag raises the race car seat towards the front of the vehicle.

5. A method of manufacturing a race car seat lift comprising of a race car seat, frame, pneumatic inflatable bag, and switch.

6. The method of manufacturing the race car seat lift comprising of the race car seat, frame, pneumatic inflatable bag, and switch as in claim 5, wherein the race car seat is pivotally connected to the frame in a manner that lifts towards the front of the vehicle.

7. The method of manufacturing the race car seat lift comprising of the race car seat, frame, pneumatic inflatable bag, and switch as in claim 5, wherein the switch activates the pneumatic inflatable bag.

8. The method of manufacturing the race car seat lift comprising of the race car seat, frame, pneumatic inflatable bag, and switch as in claim 7, wherein the pneumatic inflatable bag raises the race car seat towards the front of the vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the race car seat 5 in the lowered position, wherein the race car seat is pivotally connected to the frame 10.

[0019] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the race car seat 5 in the raised position, wherein the seat is pivotally connected to the frame 10. The race car seat is pivotally connected in such a manner as to allow the seat to be raised towards the front of the vehicle which allows the driver to get out of the race car.

[0020] FIG. 3 shows a top view of the race car seat in the lowered position, wherein a seat cover is placed on the metal race car seat.

[0021] FIG. 4 shows a top view of the race car seat in the raised position, wherein a seat cover is placed on the metal race car seat.

[0022] FIG. 5 shows a top view of the pneumatic inflatable bag 15 located beneath the race car seat, wherein the pneumatic inflatable bag 15 lifts race car 5 into a position that is easier for the driver to get out of the seat.

[0023] FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the switch 20 which activates the pneumatic inflatable bag 15, wherein the driver presses the switch to send compressed air into the pneumatic inflatable bag.

[0024] FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of the seat raised after switch 20 has been activated, wherein the driver is in a more elevated position to get out of the driver's seat.
