A vehicle seat assembly uses a slack strap structure that becomes taut to restrict downward passenger movement.
An energy attenuating member nested between the seat back frame and vehicle body absorbs kinetic energy during crashes without reducing interior space.
Segmented cushions and dense foam pads isolate vibrations from the frame, preventing resonance while directing energy toward occupants.
A swivel seat mechanism uses a cam and protrusion to rotate the seating structure during lateral movement.
A vehicle seat side frame uses a nested reinforcing member to reduce mass while maintaining mechanical strength.
A seatback lift mechanism uses a tubular member and latch to adjust the upper back support position between stowed and raised states.
Segmented seating components pivot around fixed points to resolve versatility versus complexity trade-offs while integrating storage compartments.
Dual motor elevating units drive independent brackets to improve responsiveness while reducing structural complexity.
A passenger seat pan tilts forward via a dedicated mechanism to adjust the reclining angle independently from the seat back.
Actuator feedback signals enable obstruction detection without extra sensors, resolving trade-offs between reliability and device complexity.
Segmented rigid frames and dynamic pivoting supports resolve safety versus comfort trade-offs by deploying actuatable bladders only during reclined positions.
Pneumatic reclination cell pivots a support panel to adjust seatback angle, resolving comfort and complexity trade-offs.
A vehicle seat reclining adjuster moves the main part forward relative to fixed bolster parts during backrest angle changes.
Valves control fluid migration between cells to adjust seat pressure distribution and resolve passenger comfort trade-offs.
A seat back supporting plate curves forward between lumbar regions to maintain occupant posture during rear impact.
A valve assembly with an actuator and electrical switch controls air cell inflation in vehicle seats.
A vehicle seat alternates between upright and inclined postures via simultaneous multi-parameter adjustment.
A vehicle seat rotates inward about a vertical axis to reconfigure the passenger cabin layout.
A vehicle seat system uses a communication device to transmit instructions that guide occupants in adjusting posture and body tension.
Pivoting links adjust the shell shape to reduce sliding during impacts.
A vehicle seat control system uses dual protruding mechanisms to adjust occupant contact positions based on driving mode.
