Abstract:
A device to actively enhance proprioeption and core strength of its user consisting of a motion control system providing a tilt plate that is dampened with a suspension system to provide a system to deliver an exercise regimen that automatically detects and strengthens core muscles in an unobstrusive manner by allowing the individual to move freely while seated And can be configured into a chair, stool, wheelchair seat insert, vehicle or airplane seat as well as into an exercise device generically known as balance board and enhance the user's proprioception core strenght, sense of balance and overall physical well being.
Abstract:
A traveling vehicle having a vehicle body (12), a wheel (15) rotatably supported at the vehicle body and placed on one axis, an occupant placement section (13) supported on the vehicle body and placing an occupant on it, vehicle body attitude detection means for detecting the attitude of the vehicle body, and vehicle body attitude control means for controlling the vehicle attitude detected by the vehicle body attitude detection means. When inertia force or centrifugal force occurs by acceleration, deceleration, or turning motion of the traveling vehicle, the occupant placement section moves so as to balance with the inertia force or centrifugal force. Also, the traveling vehicle has occupant attitude control means for controlling the attitude of the occupant according to a value detected by the vehicle body attitude detection means.
Abstract:
A vehicle seat for a vehicle having a floor has an occupant use position, a stowed position, and an ingress/egress position. The seat includes a riser (22) pivotally coupled to the vehicle floor (26), a seatback pivotally connected to the riser (22), and a cushion pivotally coupled to the seatback. The seatback (14) remains fixed with respect to the riser (22) when the seat is moved from the occupant use position to the ingress/egress position and the riser remains fixed with respect to the vehicle floor (26) when the seat is moved from the occupant use position to the stowed position.
Abstract:
The seat cushion of a seat can be tilted about its longitudinal central axis in order to tilt the pelvis of an occupant of the seat. A controlling element (6) is provided in the left and right areas of said seat cushion for producing the tilting movement. Said controlling elements (6) interact in such a way that they effect an opposite controlling movement in a vertical direction. This causes the pelvis to tilt. The controlling elements can be configured as fluid-filled roll bellows for example, a sliding vane rotary pump altering the volume of the two controlling elements in such a way that are diametrically opposed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a front-end fork lift truck on the undercarriage (12) of which a driver compartment (14) is arranged between a frontal lifting structure and load-bearing unit (16) and a rear monobloc case (22) which serves to house batteries or drive components and as counterweight. Said driver compartment (14) comprises a driver seat unit (34) that pivots around a vertical axis with a substantially vertical column (32) which is arranged in front of a front side of the rear monobloc case (22) and with its lower end area is mounted in a pivoting manner in a pivot bearing embedded in the undercarriage (12), and a driver seat (30) positioned at the upper end of said column (32) in such a way that it projects backward above the rear monobloc case (22). Said driver compartment further comprises a foot console/pedal unit positioned in the lower area of the column (32) and above the pivot bearing and steering and control bodies arranged on the pivotable driver seat unit (34) for steering the wheels of the fork lift truck or for controlling the functions of the fork lift load-bearing unit (16).
Abstract:
Systems and methods for improving ride quality of an active payload support system. In one example, a seat system for a vehicle includes a seat, a support structure including an actuator configured to rotate the seat about an axis of a pivot, a first sensor positioned to detect movement of the vehicle, and a controller configured to receive a first input from the first sensor, determine a cornering lateral acceleration of the vehicle in a direction perpendicular to an axis parallel to a direction of travel of the vehicle around a turn, the cornering lateral acceleration determined based at least on the first input, generate a command signal based at least on the cornering lateral acceleration to instruct an actuator to rotate the seat about the axis of the pivot in a direction of the turn, and provide a force command to the actuator to move the seat.
Abstract:
Verbindungselement (3) zur Höhenverstellung eines Fahrzeugsitzes (1) mit • - einem Winkelelement (3.1), umfassend einen ersten Schenkel (3.1.1) mit einer an einem Ende angeordneten sitzteilseitigen Aufnahmeöffnung (3.1.5) und einer an einem gegenüberliegenden Ende angeordneten schienenseitigen Aufnahmeöffnung (3.1.4) und einen zu dem ersten Schenkel (3.1.1) abgewinkelten zweiten Schenkel (3.1.2), wobei sich die sitzteilseitige Aufnahmeöffnung (3.1.5) in einem Verbindungsbereich des ersten Schenkels (3.1.1) und des zweiten Schenkels (3.1.2) befindet und • - einem Verzahnungselement (3.2). Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das Verzahnungselement (3.2) zwei zueinander abgewinkelte Abschnitte (3.2.1, 3.2.2) aufweist, wobei • - ein erster Abschnitt (3.2.1) als ein eine Verzahnung (V2) aufweisender Kreisbogen ausgebildet ist und endseitig mit dem zweiten Schenkel (3.1.2) verbunden ist, • - ein zweiter Abschnitt (3.2.2) in Richtung der sitzteilseitigen Aufnahmeöffnung (3.1.5) vom ersten Abschnitt (3.2.1) abgewinkelt ist und endseitig mit dem ersten Schenkel (3.1.1) verbunden ist.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments relate to an aircraft having an in-flight leveling system for a seat onboard the aircraft that includes a swivel mechanism providing selective rotational movement of the a rear portion of the seat to compensate for an angle of inclination of the aircraft during flight. A locking mechanism is coupled to the swivel mechanism to retain the seat in a first position for use on the ground and a second position for use during flight. An actuator moves the locking mechanism between a locked condition and an unlocked condition permitting the seat to move between the first position to the second position enabling the seat to be substantially level when the aircraft is on the ground and during flight.
