Abstract:
A reclining seat for use in a material handling vehicle includes a seat back (32) that is pivotally coupled to a wall (22) of the operator compartment (18) and to a seat pad. The seat pad (34) is moveable toward a center of the operator compartment to provide the capability to recline, and is typically maintained in the upright position by a spring (48).
Abstract:
A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat back that is moveable between a first vertical position and a second vertical position forward and upward of the first vertical position. The vehicle seat assembly has a track assembly providing fore and aft adjustment. The vehicle seat assembly further includes at least one pivot assembly operatively coupled to the track assembly and pivotally mounted to a floor of a motor vehicle. The pivot assembly pivots the vehicle seat assembly between the seating position and a stand-up position. A stand-up link slidingly couples the pivot assembly and the seat back. A link lock locks to present a solid link between the pivot assembly and the seat back. The solid link guides the seat back between the first vertical position and the second vertical position as the vehicle seat assembly moves between the seating position and the stand-up position.
Abstract:
The seat with the integrated three-point safety belt consists of the backrest (1), the sitting; part (2), which are mutually linked by the inclination adjustment mechanism (5,5') and which via the adapter (3) are attached to the longitudinal adjustment mechanism (4). Attached in the rear of the sitting part (2) is the retractor (12) for the safety. belt (6). Two grip points (7, 9) are placed on the longitudinal adjustment mechanism. (4), and the third grip point (8) of the safety belt (6) on the upper part of the backrest (1). The backrest (1) and the sifting part (2) are made of metal foam wholly or, partially, and consist of the metal foam part (11, 11') and the metal jacket (10).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for adjusting the height and longitudinal position as well as the inclination of a vehicle seat (1) relative to a vehicle floor (4) without the use of rails. The inventive device comprises at least two swivel levers (10, 14), which are located at a distance from one another in a direction of adjustment (B) and which are each coupled to the vehicle seat (1) and to the vehicle floor (4) via swivel pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) that are parallel to one another. To this end, the swivel pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d), which are arranged on the vehicle seat (1) and on the vehicle floor (4), of at least one of the swivel levers (10, 14) can be arrested independent from one another, whereby the swivel lever (10, 14), which comprises the swivel pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) that can be arrested, is provided with an additional swivel pin (12e) that is parallel to the other swivel pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) and, as a result, is divided into two lever sections (14, 16) that are connected to one another in an articulated manner.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for transmitting adjusting movements to vehicle seats (1). In said device, adjusting mechanisms (10, 18) are provided between the drives (6, 7) and the control rods (11, 12, 13, 14; 19, 20; 2, 26) which transmit the adjusting movement. A first adjusting unit (10) is equipped with control rods (13, 14) that are located on output points (25). Said rods are used to incline the seating surface (1) about its longitudinal axis. An additional second adjusting unit (18) enables the seating surface (1) of the seat (1) to be tilted about its lateral axis.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a damping device (20) for a seat (30), especially a vehicle seat, comprising a first deformable hollow body (16), said hollow body being filled with a spring-elastic filling (2), and having a second hollow body (4) which is connected to the first hollow body (16). Both hollow bodies (16, 4) are filled with a fluid under a determined pressure. According to the invention, both hollow bodies (16, 4) are interconnected via at least one valve (6) which opens when a determined excess pressure is reached in the first hollow body (16) with regard to the second hollow body (4), and the valve closes when this excess pressure is fallen short of. Both hollow bodies (16, 4) are additionally interconnected via at least one back flow orifice (3). Under applied force, the volume of the first hollow body (16) is decreased so that the valve (6) opens. The adjusting rise in pressure counteracts the applied force. Once the applied force is removed, the valve (6) closes and the pressure equalization occurs only via the back flow orifice (3) so that the first hollow body (16) only expands slowly. This makes it possible to reliably avoid undesired swinging movements, especially during shock-like applied forces.
Abstract:
A seat assembly (10) for a vehicle having a seat back (16), a seat cushion (14), a cargo floor (42) disposed beneath the seat cushion (14), and a means for translationally moving the seat cushion (14) relative to the seat back (16) from a normal use position to a stored cargo carrying position such that the cargo floor (42) is exposed when the seat cushion (14) is in the stored cargo carrying position.
Abstract:
A track assembly includes a first track, a second track, and a latch assembly. The first track includes a plurality of first apertures. The second track includes a plurality of second apertures. The latch assembly includes a latch plate and an anti-chuck component. The latch plate includes a plurality of first teeth that selectively extend through the plurality of first apertures and through a subset of the plurality of second apertures. A gap is present between at least one of the plurality of first teeth and a side of a respective one of the plurality of first apertures when the latch plate is in the engaged position. The anti-chuck component is coupled to the latch plate. The latch plate includes one or more second teeth that engage at least one of the plurality of first apertures to close the gap.
