Abstract: Provided herein is an eco-friendly artificial leather for an interior of an automobile and a manufacturing method thereof. The eco-friendly product is manufactured using a method that is compatible with various environmental regulations such as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The artificial leather includes a bio urethane-containing skin surface layer which uses biomass-derived components extracted from vegetable components, a solvent-free bio urethane adhesive layer, and a bio fiber base layer. The layers are sequentially stacked to minimize the use of organic solvents and components that are harmful to the human body.

Abstract: A vibration reduction device for a vehicle seat that can reduce forward/backward vibration when the vehicle is stopped with the engine idling. The vibration reduction device includes a weight mounted through an elastic body in the seat back or the headrest of the seat.

Abstract: A height adjustment apparatus for a vehicle seat may include a pinion gear mounted in a side frame having a front portion and a rear portion are connected to a seat bracket by links; a rack gear engaged with a top end of the pinion gear and coupled with the seat bracket via an hinge, the rack gear moving according to driving of the pinion gear to raise and lower the side frame; and a play adjustment bracket for guiding up and down motion of the moving rack gear by providing repulsive force to a top portion of the rack gear, the play adjustment bracket being fixedly positioned by being fastened with a plurality of support pins provided in the pinion gear and the side frame.

Abstract: A seat device operatively connected to an HVAC apparatus is provided. The seat device includes the HVAC apparatus to adjust the indoor air within a vehicle. A seat blower is mounted on a seat to blow indoor air, introduced through an inlet thereof, to a seat cushion and a seat back. A connecting duct allows airflow between the seat blower and the HVAC apparatus and a mesh frame connects a circumferential edge of the inlet of the seat blower with the connecting duct to allow ventilation therethrough.

Abstract: A height adjustment apparatus for a vehicle seat may include a pinion gear mounted in a side frame having a front portion and a rear portion are connected to a seat bracket by links; a rack gear engaged with a top end of the pinion gear and coupled with the seat bracket via an hinge, the rack gear moving according to driving of the pinion gear to raise and lower the side frame; and a play adjustment bracket for guiding up and down motion of the moving rack gear by providing repulsive force to a top portion of the rack gear, the play adjustment bracket being fixedly positioned by being fastened with a plurality of support pins provided in the pinion gear and the side frame.

Abstract: A seat cushion extension apparatus includes an extension motor supported on a cushion frame, an extension mounting bracket holding an extension cushion such that the extension cushion is displaceable forward and backward on a seat cushion, and a power transmission unit connecting between the extension motor and the extension mounting bracket. The power transmission unit receives power from the extension motor and moves the extension mounting bracket forward and backward. A slide device is coupled with the extension mounting bracket, and supports the extension mounting bracket such that the extension mounting bracket is slidable forward and backward in the cushion frame. The front-back length of the seat cushion can be freely extended, and limitations in the thickness of a cushion pad or the like are removed.

Abstract: A side bolster adjusting apparatus of a seat of a vehicle for guiding a developing direction of a side airbag may include a side airbag developing direction guide plates integrally fixed to a seatback frame to guide a developing direction of the side airbag, side bolster adjusting plates hinged to rear ends of the side airbag developing direction guide plates, an airbag disposed between the side airbag developing direction guide plates and the side bolster adjusting plates to expand and shrink and to adjust positions of the side bolster adjusting plates, and a pneumatic control unit controlling expansion and shrinkage of the airbag.
