Abstract: A modular seat assembly comprising a plurality of modules easily interchangeable and connected together with mounting interfaces. More particularly, the modular seat assembly comprises a mounting group comprising modules designed for mounting the seat assembly preferably to a vehicle cabin; and a seat group comprising modules designed for assembling an upper seat connectable to the modules of the mounting group. Each module has an independent structural function and is removably connected to the modular seat assembly via its mounting interface, which can include an anti-wobbling fastening mechanism. The independent structural function of module can thus affect the final functionality of the seat assembly.

Abstract: A cantilevered seat support for a vehicle has only connections to a sidewall of the vehicle. The cantilever seat support predominantly consists of components that are produced by deep drawing. The seat support has a reduced weight and at the same time is intended to be able to be produced from low cost parts.

Abstract: A safety seat for land vehicles, aircraft and watercraft, including a sitting portion secured to two vertical support straps attached to a vehicle and disposed in the vicinity of the rear edge of the sitting portion. Each support strap is a strap sling stretched between vertically spaced-apart anchors on the vehicle and includes a front strap facing the seating portion and a rear strap spaced therefrom. A transverse rod near the rear sitting portion edge reaches into the intermediate space between front and rear straps and is secured in closed fixed loops situated on the rear straps. The sitting portion is braced against the strap slings via supports pivotably connected to side rods of the sitting portion and extending at an angle below the sitting portion to the straps slings. The supports, via a transverse bracing disposed at their lower ends, reach into the intermediate space between front and rear straps.

Abstract: A backrest structure capable for a vehicle having seats that are supported on a vehicle body frame via a seat frame as a seat support member. Each of the seats includes a seat back as a backrest supporting a back of a driver. The seat back is removably mounted in the seat frame, thereby permitting positional adjustments in vertical and longitudinal directions to fit a body type of the driver. The resulting configuration makes driving of the vehicle easier.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention provide a vehicle seat that is movable to different positions with respect to a vehicle and that is coupled to a lockable strut that is variable in length. In some embodiments, a user-manipulatable control is coupled to a lock associated with the strut, and can be manipulated to unlock the lock, and to thereby enable the vehicle seat to be moved. Also, in some embodiments the vehicle seat has a seat back movable to different positions with respect to a seat base and that can be selectively secured against movement with respect to the seat base.

Abstract: A device (1) for supporting a human body comprising at least one support element (10) defining a cross-sectional area (50) and at least one longitudinal bar (13), whereby the support element (10) is positionable in height and depth. A support bar (11) for each of the at least one support elements (10) is directly connected to the at least one longitudinal bar (13). The support bar (11) extends at least partly along a first longitudinal axis (12) of the at least one support element (10) through the at least one support element (10). The support bar (11) is eccentrically arranged in the cross-sectional area (50) of the at least one support element (10). The invention furthermore discloses an application of the device (1) for supporting a human body in a working system (35).

Abstract: A three point integrated seatbelt assembly incorporated into a cantilevered stowable seat with an improved dump locking mechanism. The cantilevered stowable seat can be mounted to a vehicle, where space may be selectively provided for positioning a wheelchair or other article adjacent to the stowed seat, which includes a frame attached to the support member, a cantilevered seatbase, and a seatback. The seatback assembly allows for easy storage of the seat and safe transportation of a passenger. The seatback is rotatably associated with the cantilevered seatbase by the improved dump locking mechanism, whereby the improved dump locking mechanism enables the seat to remain in the deployed position when inertial forces are placed on the seatback.

Abstract: A stowable fold away seat for mounting to a support member of a vehicle wherein a space may be selectively provided for positioning a wheelchair or article adjacent to the stowed seat which includes a frame attached to the support member, two separate seatbacks and seatbases, which have been fixedly integrated with a centered support.

Abstract: A vehicle seat comprises a base frame including front and rear transverse support members, a backrest, and a seat pan. The seat pan has a rear part mounted on the transverse support members adjacent to the backrest for angular movement about a transverse horizontal axis and a front part which is mounted for angular movement relative to the rear part between a position in which its top surface is co-planar with the top surface of the rear part and a position in which the front edge of the front part is lower than its rear edge when the rear part is substantially horizontal. The distance between the front transverse support member and the rear edge of the rear part of the seat pan is less than two thirds (preferably less that half) of the distance between the front edge of the front part of the seat pan and the rear edge of the rear part of the seat pan, in order to leave room for a seat occupant to stand upright when the seat pan is raised.

Abstract: The invention concerns a seat made of two parts: a seat body (1) with a two-sided structure, for example shaped like a hollow box open at its front face, comprising linking and reinforcing crosspieces (5) providing it with sufficient mechanical rigidity; and a seat support (2) with a matching anatomy, preferably fitted with a cover containing a thickness of padding material (18), closing the opening (17) of the seat body (1). One of the later flanks or components (3) of the flank or (4) of the seat body (1) is fixed on a structural vertical member (11) of the public transport vehicle. The seat is suspended cantilevered against the vehicle wall, thereby leaving free the space (12) located beneath the seat. The invention is of interest to manufacturers of public transport vehicles and manufacturers of fittings for the vehicles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for removably associating a child seat to a dual occupancy stowable seat. In addition to being able to secure a child seat, the stowable seat has a deployed position and a stowed position. The stowed position provides space for storing a wheel chair or other item in the space formerly occupied by the deployed seat. The deployed position is utilized for seating or for statically securing up to two child seats. For the purpose of securing a child seat, the stowable seat has one or more anchor systems, which are an integral and permanent part of a previously existing seat frame of sufficient strength and durability or are installed as OEM in the vehicle. The anchor system is arranged and positioned such that when it is not being used to secure a child safety seat it will not interfere with the ability of the stowable seat to provide seating for an occupant or interfere with the stowable seat's movement from the deployed to the stowed position.

Abstract: A fold and tumble vehicle seat has a cushion, seatback, and a frame. The frame is supported at the front end by a cantilever that extends perpendicular to the direction that the seat faces. The seat frame is pivotally coupled to the cantilever, allowing the removal of the customary front legs that would otherwise support the seat. A single rear leg is releasably attached to the floor of the vehicle, and a structural latch may be used to attach the frame to a center console. The vehicle seat is pivoted out of the way by folding the seatback forward, and releasing the rear leg to allow the seat to pivot forward about the pivot tube.
