Movable Seats TRIZ Cases

A microswitch on the seat rail distinguishes rail sections to identify exact seat position and trigger the right safety or comfort function.

A spring-biased lock holds the seat rail drive unit in a raised position during removal, preventing unintended lowering under external stress.

A control module raises or lowers the seat rail drive wheel to simplify installation and removal while keeping longitudinal adjustment ready.

Priority-based seat and console movement enables remote seat-facing mode changes while avoiding interference with surrounding cabin parts.

An integrated pin on the seat latch knob and a U-shaped link cut parts, assembly steps, and cost while keeping latch state indication smooth.

A pivoting seat cushion and seat back rotate with the driver during turns to reduce torso-pelvis twist, fatigue, and discomfort.

A seat pedestal and swivel retrofit turns the LinQ ski pylon into a removable 360-degree seat while preserving Sea-Doo accessory use.

A pulley-linked cable release unlocks left-right and forward-backward seat slides together, simplifying adjustment and stroke tuning.

A lock plate and folding link automate the seat folding sequence after one lever input, avoiding continuous holding and lever collision risk.

A deforming strip between seat rails absorbs crash energy, helping reclined occupants avoid submarining and lower spine and pelvis loads.

A tilting link and reclined seat back raise the rear cushion end to prevent sliding and create a more relaxed rear-seat resting posture.

A guided seat cushion tilts while sliding forward, rearward, and vertically to keep seating height stable and improve comfort in tight rear-seat spaces.

A single motor and gearing adjust two adjacent vehicle seats together, cutting drive weight and complexity while keeping transverse spacing synchronized.

A guide clip locking the seat guide pin in the floor panel prevents escape during seatback reclining and keeps assembly positioning stable.

A linked rail, link, spring, and lock mechanism enables one-step seat walk-in while keeping the tilted seat securely fixed and compatible with sliding.

Sliding buckle and lower-anchor mounts adjust belt geometry for reclined seats, improving restraint fit and comfort across body types.

An in-runner position sensor retracts through a side-wall opening to cut seat runner bulk, simplify assembly, and protect against damage.

A linkage-driven seat belt socket moves with zero-gravity seat rotation to reduce abdominal compression and maintain restraint in collisions.

A spiral spring below the slanted seat rails counteracts gravity, giving truck seats smoother position control without bulky hardware.

A removable power rail module turns a manual seat track into an electric slider, cutting separate development cost and avoiding cabin interference.

A cable-linked locking structure simplifies child seat tilt adjustment, cutting assembly complexity while working in multiple seat orientations.

Shared support and linkage parts let a car seat adjust height and angle independently while reducing mechanism space and manufacturing cost.

A removable second clip fixes cable-to-clip spacing during seat cable installation, cutting operator error and ensuring consistent release function.

A variable working-volume module adjusts air spring pressure to keep seat height stable with faster response and no compressor noise.

A spherical guide and restoring member let a loading platform move relative to its base to absorb inertial forces while maintaining stable positioning.

A height-adjustable child anchor retracts into a full-flat vehicle seat to avoid passenger contact while preserving secure child seat installation.

A mediated pressing rod and multi-link unlocker fully retract the locking pin, preventing rail friction noise and blocked seat movement.

A hinged seat backrest flips into a wind deflector to cut convertible cabin turbulence without separate installation or storage.

A nested locking plate and socket housing replace friction braking to raise seatback fixing force while keeping the reclining brake compact.

A universal upper rail, lower rail, and latch platform cuts seat track cost while added supports meet front and rear strength needs.

Sensors and morphological data guide automatic or assisted seat repositioning during driving to relieve local pain without trial-and-error.

Anti-rotation protrusions and a lifting lock mechanism keep seat rail teeth engaged under impact loads, improving seat stability and space use.

An elastic spindle cover for vehicle seat rails blocks dirt while allowing quick mounting, dismounting, and transmission housing clearance.

Outward latching, protective covers, and wire retainers keep a vehicle seat rotating mechanism compact while preventing detachment, debris entry, and wire damage.

A spring-loaded pawl and freely pivoting tooth segment lock vehicle seat back movement without a separate drive, saving space, weight, and time.

A spring-biased lever in the seat track blocks one seat from an undesirable position while letting the other seat adjust freely.

A spring-biased striker fitting locks securely into a seat track without tools, reducing weight, vibration-driven disengagement, noise, and rattles.

Multiple retainer pairs lock a swivel child seat at set positions, cutting mechanism complexity and cost while keeping rotation reliable.

A pivoting interlock holds the seat cushion in easy entry until the seat slides rearward, preventing premature return to the design position.

Outward-facing passenger seats and a rotatable pilot position improve visibility and natural steering in wheeled and walking vehicles.

A ramp and pivoting rod let one actuator both slide and rotate the vehicle seat, cutting easy-entry mechanism complexity, cost, and power.

Dual lead-screw tilting links stabilize seat cushion tilt and seatback recline by preventing frame gaps, shaking, and torsional deformation.

A weakened collapsing piece and pin let a zero-gravity seat drop to normal posture on impact, restoring safety belt restraint.

An integrated plastic spiral spring returns the actuator while cutting installation space, weight, and assembly complexity in vehicle interior parts.

A decoupled-to-coupled linkage lets a vehicle seat shift smoothly from sitting to bed position with fewer drives, lower weight, and less mechanism complexity.

A rotating cam and follower tilt the seat cushion while holding the backrest-cushion angle, enabling quick boarding and fold-flat transitions.

A reverse spring counteracts the restoring spring to slow seatback folding and reduce the force needed to unfold it.

Two seat linkages stay uncoupled upright and couple during recline, enabling smooth single-drive conversion to a flat bed with lower complexity.

A timed motor reversal checks whether the seat switch stays ON after blockage detection, preventing unintended reverse movement and user discomfort.

An offset seat pivot and four-bar linkage let the seat raise, lower, and rotate without hitting nearby shifter panels or controls.
