Abstract: A vehicle vibration damper assembly may include a bracket, a canister, and steel shot. The bracket is for mounting to an engine compartment rail in mechanical contact with an engine. The canister is mounted to the bracket and defines a cavity. The steel shot is disposed within the canister in an amount selected to reduce an amplitude of a vibration of the engine during operation. The bracket may be mounted to an engine compartment rail. The bracket may be secured proximate an engine compartment rail such that the canister is mechanically connected to the engine. The amount of the steel shot may be such that energy generated by the engine during operation is dissipated into heat energy or impact energy by the steel shot.

Abstract: A restraint system is disclosed for securing a passenger to a seat in a motor vehicle. The restraint system is composed of a four point restraint belt removably attached to a vehicle seat having a plurality of vertical straps and attachment mechanisms for connecting said straps across the passenger's chest and lap. Each of the vertical straps has a first end removably attached to latches located in the front of the seat back and a second end removably attached to a latch located behind the vehicle seat.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a frame operably attached to a vehicle. A seat bottom is operably attached to the frame. The seat bottom is repositionable between a seating position and a stowed position. A seat back is operably attached to the frame. The seat back is repositionable between a seating position and a stowed position. The seat back rotates about a longitudinal axis during repositioning of the seat back between the seating and the stowed positions. A method of repositioning the seat assemblies includes repositioning a seat bottom between a seating position and a stowed position, and repositioning a seat back between a seating position and a stowed position about a longitudinal axis. Another seat assembly includes a seat bottom operably attached to the frame with at least one pivoting link and at least one sliding link. The seat bottom is repositionable between a seating position and an elevated position.
