Abstract: A seat apparatus having a simulated force feedback and a method for simulating a force sensation of driving are provided. The seat apparatus includes a seating unit, a rotary platform, and a realistic seat pallet. The seating unit includes a seat pan. The rotary platform includes a chassis and a rotary motive module. The seat pan is disposed on the chassis along a rotation axis in an inclinable manner. The rotary motive module can control the seat pan to have a forward or rearward inclined angle. The realistic seat pallet is disposed on the seat pan, and includes a movable contact cushion and a pallet motive module. Through the pallet motive module, the movable contact cushion is slidable relative to the seat pan. The pallet motive module can control the movable contact cushion to have left and right displacements, front and rear displacements, angular displacements, or yaw rotations.

Abstract: A latch includes a base, a drive shaft and cam, and a handle attached pivotally to the drive shaft. The handle is moveable between a closed position, a pop-up position, and an open position. A slide plate is attached slidably to the base and engaged with the cam. A swivel arm is attached pivotally to the base and the slide plate. A bolt assembly is attached to the swivel arm, and a plunger is mounted within the base. In its closed position, the handle engages the plunger to engage a switch and the bolt assembly engages a structure. In the handle's pop-up position, the plunger moves to a retracted position and disengages the switch. When the handle is moved to the open position, the drive shaft and cam are rotated so that the slide plate slides and the swivel arm pivots to swing the bolt assembly away from the structure.
