  • Publication number: 20240166104
    Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a support leg connected to a floor to be pivotable about a first axis extending in a horizontal direction; a seat cushion connected to the support leg to be pivotable about a second axis which is parallel to the first axis; a first coupling device provided on the support leg and configured to be detachably coupled with a first coupling part provided on the floor; and a second coupling device provided on the seat cushion and configured to be detachably coupled with a second coupling part provided on the floor. The seat cushion is movable between a stowed position in which the seat cushion is in a lowest position, a first use position in which the first coupling device is coupled with the first coupling part, and a second use position in which the second coupling device is coupled with the second coupling part.

  • Patent number: 11221231
    Abstract: An encoder includes a magnetic sensor having higher detection sensitivity to a magnetic field applied in a reading direction, while having lower detection sensitivity to a magnetic field applied in a direction forming a greater angle with respect to the reading direction, an encoder substrate having the magnetic sensor mounted thereon, a magnetic shield to shield against a magnetic field including a side portion covering sides of the magnetic sensor and a top-side portion covering a top of the magnetic sensor, a permanent magnet located to face the encoder substrate, a shaft having the permanent magnet attached to a tip end of the shaft, and a bracket to support the shaft in a rotatable manner, wherein on the side portion of the magnetic shield, a notch as a connector insertion portion is located not to overlap an extended area of the magnetic sensor in the reading direction.
