Movable Seats TRIZ Cases

Integrating a brake ring with the seat part structure reduces material expenditure and device complexity while maintaining reliable connection strength.

A seat control apparatus adjusts shoulder support, armrest position, and tilt angle based on occupant sitting state.

A unified tilt control axis accommodates distinct return elements and transmits forces from multiple handle types.

Connecting elements link the seat latch and recliner control device, preventing inadvertent detachment while ensuring proper latching.

Offset pivot arms guide the seat console along a curved path, merging translation and rotation to eliminate separate adjustment steps that cause time loss.

Segmented first and second cams prevent tooth jumping by reducing frictional resistance during the transition from unlocked to locked positions.

An inflatable air cushion expands within a vehicle seat side portion to fill the space between the seat and console unit.

A stowable rear seat rocking member automatically actuates the seat cushion locking mechanism release during back tilting.

A dual cam latch assembly uses a sector arm to rotate the seat base forward.

Sharp corners on the memory pin prevent premature locking during walk-in access, reducing noise and wear while ensuring accurate engagement timing.

A ride-height adjustable air shock boat seat pedestal uses a locking swivel mechanism to manage vertical movement and rotational stability.

Leaf spring biases toothed rack toward pinion to compensate for manufacturing gaps and eliminate noise during load conditions.

A stowable vehicle seat uses three pivot links arranged at different width and front-to-back positions to move the cushion compactly.

A floor lock for motor vehicle seats uses a locking pawl and securing pawl to attach the seat to the vehicle floor.

A motor vehicle seat slide rail uses a gap elimination cam to remove multi-directional gaps between upper and lower assemblies.

Multi-channel rails integrate power, data, and drive cables to enable seamless seating reconfiguration while reducing physical effort.

Segmented arcuate sections anchor the bracket to the bodyshell, stabilizing child seats during braking without complex fasteners.

Decoupling the knob from the release lever via a bell crank exposes an indicator for visual engagement confirmation.

A hybrid retainer combines rollers and balls in a vehicle seat linear guide to reduce sliding resistance.

A recliner return mechanism biases a vehicle seat back forwardly to assist pivoting motion.

A vehicle seat rail adjusting device uses a movable support member between upper and lower rails to enable longitudinal adjustment.

Retaining bracket engages track lip to support carriage movement along vehicle rails, resolving insufficient adjustability and intermediate load management.

An intermediary collar prevents axial disengagement of the torsion spring from the operating shaft, maintaining reclining stability.

A motorized drive system for vehicle seat backrests uses a clutch to uncouple the output pinion from the motor.

Segmenting the valance cover into fixed and moving sections increases effective seating width while protecting internal components.

Thermal removal of a gap ring between plates creates a precise clearance gap, reducing manufacturing time while maintaining assembly reliability.

A vehicle seat assembly uses a pyrotechnic device to move support members downward for precise object repositioning.

A vehicle seat raising mechanism uses a connecting rod protuberance to absorb impact forces during crashes.

A vehicle seat memory device uses a gear mechanism to detect longitudinal rail displacement.

Dual slide rails distribute lateral loads from biasing units, preventing rail deformation and reducing lock release force.

Shape-memory material actuators morph seat bolsters to provide dynamic lateral support, replacing complex motors with reliable phase transitions.

A power seat slide device uses a rack and pinion mechanism with a clutch to enable manual adjustment when the motor is inactive.

A vehicle seat console integrates a force-limiting device between guide elements to enable relative movement during impact.

A vehicle seat backrest integrates a touch-sensitive operating device with a display element to control motorized positioning functions.

A vehicle seat link mechanism tilts the cushion frame to adjust occupant position.

Segmenting the backrest allows cargo expansion without blocking gear lever access or airbag zones.

Integrated one-piece component limits bidirectional seat movement to prevent collisions while reducing assembly complexity.

Fluid nanofoam pistons absorb impact energy on slide rails, accommodating varying occupant weights without increasing structural complexity.

Rotating link system maintains seat belt buckle at occupant hip point, eliminating frequent readjustment and reducing mechanical loads on restraint anchorages.

A seatback-motion controller uses a friction cam to manage ergonomic stability during pivoting movement.

Horizontal pivot axis reduces link mechanism height and operation force.

A vehicle seat lifting device constrains the coupling portion between the swing link and screw rod to prevent mechanical damage.

A pivotable over-travel and limit stop bracket rotates to bypass the comfort full forward limit stop during easy-entry activation.

Actuating shafts lock the seat back vertically to resolve stability versus ease of operation contradictions.

A vehicle seat incorporates a restrictor to inhibit premature locking mechanism release during cushion elevation.

An intermediary hold-open pin engages a follower link notch to keep the release handle pulled, enabling one-handed seatback return.

A vehicle seat connection assembly uses a sliding rail cartridge and actuated electrical connectors to enable fore-and-aft translation of the seat base.

A vehicle seat longitudinal adjuster uses a spring-loaded friction wheel to detect rail displacement, preventing slipping on worn surfaces.
