  • Publication number: 20130038099
    Abstract: A fully adjustable seat assembly adapted for a motor vehicle with safety features including a blast mitigating device, such as an energy attenuation device, to absorb energy in a controlled manner. Another safety features is a one-hand lap belt release system. The seat assembly preferably has a back cushion support with a seat base that automatically flips-up when not in use. When used in a vehicle turret, the seat assembly can provide for 360 degrees of rotational movement with a bracket and a single bearing.

  • Patent number: 8303034
    Abstract: A seat assembly having a front and a back and adapted to be attached to a floor comprises a seat base and a seat back attached to the seat base, a seat belt mechanism attached to the seat base and free of the floor, a blast mitigation device attached to the seat base and adapted to be secured to the floor, wherein the blast mitigation device has a crumple zone which absorbs energy in the event of a blast, and a front impact dislocation resistance device mounted on the blast mitigation device with a pair of brackets. The front impact dislocation resistance device acts to resist separation of the seat base from the blast mitigation device.
