Patent number: 10053152Abstract: A sill for a body structure of a vehicle, in an installed state, extends substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Outer, middle and inner sill parts are each of shell-like or hat-like cross section and have respective sill strengths. The outer sill part and the inner sill part are connected to one another at respective upper and lower ends thereof via flanges.

Patent number: 9205768Abstract: A seat for a transportation vehicle has a rigid seat cushion structure and a rigid seat back structure. The seat back structure has two rigid side parts and upper and lower crosspieces connecting the side parts. The upper crosspiece connects the two side parts to each other in the region of their upper ends, and the lower crosspiece connects the two side parts at a distance from the lower ends. The lower crosspiece is above that region of the rear part that supports the posterior of the occupant. The arrangement of the lower rigid crosspiece holds the posterior of the occupant between the lower crosspiece and the seat cushion structure. Thus, the occupant's back and head are not moved up, in particular are not moved beyond the region of the head restraint of the rear part.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2011Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.F.

Patent number: 8251425Abstract: A seat frame (1) for a vehicle seat has two seat supports (3, 3) that extend in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and are intended for laterally attaching the seat frame (1) to a vehicle floor (2) or to adjustment rails (16) for the seat frame (1). A seat shell (4) is mounted in and connected to the seat supports (3, 3) and is configured for accommodating a seat cushion. The seat shell (4) is connected to the respective seat support (3) so that the seat shell (4) and the seat support (3) form a closed profile in the connection region. The seat shell (4) is formed from a light metal and combines maximum weight reduction with a high degree of rigidity, in particular high torsional or bending stiffness.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.F.
