Abstract: In a vehicle seat, two front and two rear links are pivotally connected between a seat cushion frame and a floor of vehicle. Each of the two front links has an arcuate gear region meshed with a corresponding pinion provided to the seat cushion at a point backwardly of that arcuate gear region. Two connecting links are pivotally connected between the respective two front and rear links, such that forward pivot points respective of the two connecting links in the respective two front links are always maintained forwardly of the respective pinions, irrespective of vertical rotation of the two front links. In the case of rear-end collision, such link arrangement allows an excessive backward and downward load to be transmitted through the two connecting links and front links to the two lateral sides of seat cushion frame and dispersed therein, thereby absorbing a corresponding excessive impact.

Abstract: A passive/reactive device protests a Payload from injury or damage due to the shock caused by impact or explosion. When the vehicle or structure mounting the Payload receives a shock pulse, the invention limits the acceleration transmitted from the vehicle or structure to the Payload to an acceptably low, user-adjustable level which is substantially constant or is some other user-adjustable force-displacement function. The invention is capable of doing so even when the peak magnitude of the imposed shock is on the order of thousands of G's, with a rise time to peak on the order of microseconds. The invention can be embodied to operate passively, without any external source of power, sensor system, or CPU, although they can be added to improve certain usability features. The invention also absorbs or dissipates the shock energy in substantially the minimum distance possible without exceeding the user-defined acceleration limit on the Payload.
