Patent number: 11938849Abstract: A seat for a vehicle having a fold-and-dive function is proposed. When a seatback is rotated forwards and folded, a seat cushion is moved down, so the fold-and-dive function of the seat is realized. When a full-flat mode is realized by the reclining operation of the seatback, a rear end of the seat cushion is moved up, so a step between the seat cushion and the seatback can be significantly reduced or eliminated. Furthermore, a front link connecting a back cushion interlocking frame and a cushion fixing bracket to perform the fold-and-dive function is installed to have directivity where it is inclined rearwards, thus preventing a submarine phenomenon of the seat in the event of a forward collision.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignees: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY, KIA CORPORATIONInventors: Mu Young Kim, Sang Do Park, Ho Suk Jung, Jun Young Yun, Jun Hwan Lee, Chan Ho Jung, Hyeok Seung Lee

Publication number: 20230135531Abstract: A seat adjustment apparatus for mobility includes a seat cushion, wherein, during seat cushion tilting, the front portion of the seat cushion is moved upwards, and the rear portion thereof is moved downwards so that the occupant's lower body is not moved upwards as a whole, and the occupant's feet are not excessively lifted. Accordingly, there is no need for a separate footrest for supporting the occupant's feet, and seating convenience is improved by implementing a stable occupant posture. Furthermore, a tilting bar provided for seat cushion tilting supports a seat frame so that the posture of the occupant's lower body does not collapse due to deformation of the seat cushion during a collision, securing the occupant's stability.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicants: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia CorporationInventors: Mu Young KIM, Sang Do PARK, Ho Suk JUNG, Jun Young YUN, Jun Hwan LEE, Chan Ho JUNG, Hyeok Seung LEE
