A four-bar seat linkage guides an arced swing path that clears RV sidewalls while switching between forward and lateral seating.
A cold-extruded monolithic ring gear and bearing pin improves easy-entry seat stability, crash safety, and tolerance control.
A spindle nut and slotted guide let one limit switch detect both backrest end positions while saving space and mechanism complexity.
Automatic lock and actuator control repositions a curved seat track during a crash to limit occupant movement and impact forces.
By nesting the position sensor inside the male rail, this seat track cuts bulk, simplifies assembly, and protects sensing from damage.
A preassembled spring suspension helps vehicle backrests fold with fewer mechanisms, while adding pretension, acceleration, and damping.
Selective inflation of tessellated origami cells creates in-situ vehicle support surfaces that adapt to acceleration and lateral forces.
A lever and extendable element recline the child seat while keeping the backrest-to-seat angle constant, reducing restraint readjustment.
A spring-supported fixture and release lever replace friction braking in a seat recliner, cutting noise and vibration while preventing reverse rotation.
A cover plate separates weld locations in a continuous seat recliner, limiting heat damage to sliding parts while lowering force, noise, and defects.
A stepped recliner plate with an impact absorbing hole localizes plastic deformation to absorb collision loads and keep the back frame stable.
A rotating backrest and independently adjustable seat cushion switch between forward and rearward seating without disassembly.
Spiral partial coils and flexible loops let a rail driver seat rotate and translate without twisting, chafing, or damaging the air hose.
Dual sector gears and locking cams keep the walk-in seat locked under rear-impact forces, preventing sudden seat movement and injury.
Capacitive sensing detects passenger-seat fit and dynamically repositions support airbags for personalized comfort without manual adjustment.
A gas-actuated retraction connector removes seat slack during a frontal crash, limiting upward seat movement without reducing adjustability.
Phase-offset drive teeth engage a rack in sequence to deliver backlash-free seat adjustment with high speed, smoother contact, and lower friction losses.
Classifying pinched obstacles by size and heartbeat lets a vehicle seat vary reversal distance and stop early to free trapped items or occupants.
A slider-mounted motor and screw assembly stabilizes engagement with rail-side holes to prevent tilting, noise, play, and hindered seat travel.
