Problems solved by technology

[0004] A wide range of lightweight seats are available for motorsport applications, however these are characterized by very low levels of adjustability, comfort and accessibility and are therefore considered unsuitable for most types of roads Vehicles (including city-type vehicles)

Embodiment Construction

[0025] In this application, references to directions such as fore / aft, vertical, inwardly, laterally, etc. are all intended to be interpreted relative to the seat itself. No ambiguity arises as a person sits in a defined position in which their legs protrude in the forward direction. Seats are normally installed in vehicles facing forwards, so the same directional indications will generally likewise apply with respect to the vehicle. However, it is permissible to mount the seat in a rearward facing orientation, so it is likely that the orientation will be reversed relative to the vehicle in question.

[0026] refer to figure 1 , the vehicle seat 10 is composed of three main parts, a base unit 12 , a seat back 14 and a seat base 16 . The base unit 12 includes a pair of front and rear adjustable runners 18 of conventional design by which the base unit 12 is attachable to a suitably solid portion of the floor of the vehicle. The seat back and seat base are molded composite pan...

Abstract

A vehicle seat (10) comprises a base unit (12) and an upright seat back (14), the base unit (12) being moulded composite materials with optimised fibre orientations and metallic fixing points for attachment to the vehicle and at least two laterally-spaced upstanding arms (46), the seat back (14) being of a moulded composite material with optimised uni-directional fibre orientations and being attached to each upstanding arm (46) via a connection that is distributed along the vertical direction. This vertical distribution can be achieved by providing a plurality of mechanical attachments (48) between the two parts, with the attachments (48) spaced apart in the vertical direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to seats for vehicles. Background technique [0002] Some form of seating is necessary for the driver and passenger in a vehicle to comfortably support them during the journey and restrain them in the event of a crash. This is generally an even greater challenge in the design of small urban vehicles, which suffer from the lack of interior space to surround the occupants both vertically and horizontally. Accordingly, tall drivers and rear seat passengers may suffer from the lack of adequate leg and / or head room for discomfort. [0003] In addition, conventional vehicle seats generally weigh between 30 and 70 kg. Modern vehicles have requirements to keep weight to a minimum. Current compacted steel seat designs are driven by regulations related to crash testing, whiplash, controlling impacts, etc. and are therefore generally not considered to be in the realm of potential for useful weight savings. [0004] A wide range of lightw...
