Patent number: 11932148Abstract: A bellows for a seat assembly for a cab of a vehicle can include a skirt configured to substantially surround a perimeter of a base of the seat assembly. The skirt can have a continuous perimeter extending between first and second free ends of the skirt along four sides of the base of the seat assembly. The bellows can include a break between the first and second free ends of the skirt to provide access to the base portion via the break, or to install or remove the skirt from the base portion without detaching the base portion from the cab or detaching the seating portion from the seat assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: SEATS INCORPORATEDInventors: Joshua M. Justman, Jesse C. Boyarski, Mitchell E. Zank

Patent number: 8690114Abstract: A support assembly includes a first support frame having a first bearing surface, and a second support frame spaced a vertical distance from the first support frame. A biasing member is connected to the first support frame and includes a first end and a second end. The first end bears against the first bearing surface. An adjustment assembly is connected to the second support frame and is adjustable with respect to the second support frame. The second end of the biasing member bears against the adjustment assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2012Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Seats, Inc.Inventor: Jesse C. Boyarski

Patent number: 8561748Abstract: A seat suspension includes a lower support frame having a first slot, an upper support frame having a second slot, and a biasing member between the upper and lower support frames. A first suspension arm is connected to the lower support frame at a first end for rotation with respect to the lower support frame and connected to the upper support frame at a second end for rotation with respect to the upper support frame. A second suspension arm is connected to the first slot in the lower support frame for rotation with respect to the lower support frame and for translation with respect to the lower support frame along the first slot, and a second end coupled to the second slot in the upper support frame for rotation with respect to the upper support frame and for translation with respect to the upper support frame along the second slot.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2012Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Seats, Inc.Inventors: Douglas C. Hahn, Jesse C. Boyarski

Patent number: 8459735Abstract: A seat back assembly includes a back frame and an adjustable support mounted to the back frame. The adjustable support moves between a first position and a second position with respect to the back frame. A stationary back cushion is mounted to the back frame and defines an opening sized to receive the adjustable support. When the adjustable support is in the opening, both the adjustable support and the stationary back cushion provide support surfaces for the back of an occupant of the seat. When the adjustable support is moved toward the second position to at least partially remove the adjustable support from the opening, the opening accommodates equipment of an occupant of the seat.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2011Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Seats, Inc.Inventors: Pieter J. van Zyl, Jesse C. Boyarski

Patent number: 8393432Abstract: A seat has a seat frame and a seat cushion supported by the seat frame. The seat cushion has an upper surface that supports a user and a lower surface defining a cavity. The seat cushion moves between an at rest condition in which no operator is seated on the seat, and a deflected condition in which the seat cushion is deflected with respect to the frame in response to an operator seated on the seat. A switch is mounted to the frame and opens and closes an electrical circuit in response to an actuating force. A switch actuator is mounted to the seat cushion lower surface in the cavity and moves between a non-actuating position when the seat is at rest and an actuating position when the seat is deflected. The switch actuator delivers the actuating force as the switch actuator is moved toward the actuating position.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Seats, Inc.Inventors: Jesse C. Boyarski, Cody M. Sweet

Patent number: 8016258Abstract: A seat support assembly includes a base, a plurality of arms each mounted at a first end to the base for movement with respect to the base, and mounted to a seat at a second end opposite the first end for movement with respect to the seat. A torsion spring has a first end defining a length, a second end defining a length, and a coil defining an axis. A first bearing surface abuts the first end of the torsion spring at a first abutment point to define a first moment arm distance. A second bearing surface abuts the second end of the torsion spring at a second abutment point to define a second moment arm distance. An adjustment mechanism simultaneously causes relative movement between the torsion spring and the bearing surfaces to simultaneously change the first moment arm distance and the second moment arm distance.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Seats, Inc.Inventors: Jesse C. Boyarski, Pieter J. van Zyl
