Patent number: 8123293Abstract: A seat assembly for a vehicle comprises a pedestal for mounting to the vehicle. A seat bottom is coupled to the pedestal and is rotatable about a first axis between a seating position and a stowed position. A seat back is coupled to the pedestal and is rotatable about a second axis spaced from the first axis from an upright position to a forward position in response to a predetermined force from behind the seat back. A deformable extension is fixed to and extends between the seat back and the pedestal. The deformable extension is configured to deform to absorb energy when the seat back rotates from the upright position to the forward position.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2009Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Syntec Seating Solutions LLCInventors: Brandon S.

Patent number: 8118361Abstract: A seat assembly for a vehicle includes a seat bottom and a seatback. The seatback includes a seatback frame and is selectively rotatable relative to the seat bottom from an upright position to a forward position. A seatbelt assembly includes a retractor coupled to the seatback frame and a belt selectively extendable from and retractable to the retractor. A first end of the belt is disposed in the retractor. A guide is coupled to the seatback frame and defines an orifice with the belt slideably extending through the orifice. The retractor and the guide are fixed relative to the seatback frame and the second end of the belt is fixed to the seatback frame. The retractor, the guide, and both ends of the belt rotate from the upright position to the forward position in response to a force exerted on the seatback frame during rapid deceleration of the seat assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Syntec Seating Solutions LLCInventors: Ronald C.

Patent number: 7784867Abstract: A seat assembly for a vehicle, such as a school bus, accommodates two or three passengers, depending on the size and stature of the passengers. The seat assembly is equipped with three seatbelts and five buckles spaced along a seatback. When three passengers are utilizing the seat assembly, each of the three seatbelts and three of the buckles are utilized. When two passengers are utilizing the seat assembly, two of the seatbelts and the remaining two buckles are utilized. The seatbelts and buckles are visually coded and/or keyed to prevent improper use. When the buckles are not being utilized, they are housed in cavities formed in the seatback to avoid interference with the passengers.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2008Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Syntec Seating Solutions, LLCInventor: Ronald C.

Publication number: 20100052378Abstract: A seat assembly for a bus includes a seat bottom and a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat bottom. An energy absorbing link extends from the seat bottom to the seat back for controlling pivoting of the seat back relative to the seat bottom. The energy absorbing link has a first portion connected to the seat bottom, a second portion connected to the seat back, and a deformable portion disposed therebetween. The deformable portion is deformed as the seat back pivots relative to the seat bottom to absorb energy. First and second members are fixed relative to the energy absorbing link. The first and second members are spaced from each other when the seat back is in an upright position and abut each other when the seat back rotates to a rearward position to limit the deformation of the deformable portion and prevent pivoting beyond the rearward position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2009Publication date: March 4, 2010Applicant: SYNTEC SEATING SOLUTIONS, LLC.Inventors: Brandon S.
