Vehicle Seats TRIZ Cases

A vehicle occupant determination apparatus calculates lateral acceleration differences to classify passengers based on weight and motion data.

Infrared emitter and receiver system verify safety belt engagement, eliminating false alarms from non-human objects.

Sliding nut with control lever secures aircraft seats to mounting rails, eliminating complex tool requirements and manual adjustments.

A fender apron connecting structure integrates a U-shaped cowl side member with an A-pillar to form a continuous closed section.

A tractor cab suspension uses a single vibration isolating support unit to mount the cab and damp vertical oscillations.

Extending the rear seating section forward improves rear passenger visibility while maintaining front legroom through dimensionality changes.

A vehicle head rest uses a compliant actuator to displace a cushion portion between retracted and extended positions.

Wave structured bearings eliminate intentional post misalignment in head restraints, reducing noise and vibration while maintaining radial stiffness.

Angled gusset reorients during rear impact to absorb energy, preventing bumper over-riding or under-riding conditions.

Segmented washer protrusions deform to fill lateral gaps caused by material thickness variations, reducing pivot play without compromising structural integrity.

Segmented linkage components enable fixing rod rotation in confined spaces without complex assembly.

Rigid foam absorbs external forces on an airbag module, protecting it from everyday stress while enabling quick deployment without a heavy housing.

A perch seat table assembly uses a continuous transition surface to join the seating area and working plane.

Corrugated plastic walls with integral lips form a hollow enclosure that prevents mud accumulation and maintains structural integrity.

Vertical retaining strap loops clamp backrest cross-members to suspend the seat frame, eliminating lateral supports that restrict occupant movement.

An integrally molded center cover floor panel forms vertical non-slip surfaces, resolving die splitting constraints for seat vehicle body covers.

Bracket design reduces head injury criteria by 15% through controlled deformation of bent vertical legs during pedestrian impacts.

Alignment joint mates bumper beam and crash box surfaces to establish a linear load path, resolving offset load paths that hinder energy absorption.

Alternating upper and lower ribs form a honeycomb pattern on the seat bottom plate to resolve the contradiction between high rigidity and low weight.

Warm air outlets in the center console and B-pillars create a thermal barrier that blocks cold ambient air from reaching front seat occupants.

A towable framework attaches to a golf cart rear hitch to support an additional passenger seat.

A headrest wing adjustment apparatus uses a wire wound around a rotating rod to create directional friction for distinct push and pull forces.

Dynamic massage control adapts vibration frequency to driver mental state, reducing distraction during stressful driving conditions.

A lateral energy transfer member with a prescribed gap redirects frontal impact forces laterally, reducing rotational displacement during offset collisions.

Grooved magnesium tubes wrapped in reinforcement resist pervasive fragmentation by enabling sequential segment breakage under compressive loads.

Lateral key translation secures the seat bracket to the track web, eliminating welding delays and ensuring consistent manufacturing speed.

A hydraulic linkage moves the truck cab away from the engine compartment without pivoting, preventing loose object damage during maintenance.

Segmenting the joint case and extracting the fitting portion allows inner cable removal without disassembling the entire assembly.

Extracting the switching valve from the bracket assembly and routing metal ducts beneath the floor eliminates pedal interference during maintenance.

Hat-shaped front side frame incorporates a bulkhead to delay bending and distribute shock loads during vehicle collisions.

A front impact absorption structure disperses collision energy to the front pillar and side sill using segmented members with bent engagement surfaces.

Processor-based control unit automatically adjusts lighting parameters to enhance passenger comfort while reducing manual intervention.

A vehicle seat actuator uses a reversible deformable body to move the head restraint closer to the occupant during impact.

Lock tooth with weak portion stabilizes gear engagement, preventing breakage under large collision loads.

Angled holding element with projections secures pivoting levers to tracks, eliminating complex screw mounting in limited space.

A vehicle seatbelt system retracts the belt and enlarges the gap between the occupant and seatback before impact.

A combined seat heater and capacitive occupancy sensor uses a high-impedance amplifier to measure oscillating voltage on the heating element.

Hydroforming the rollover protective structure eliminates welds and gussets, reducing manufacturing labor while enhancing structural strength.
