Abstract:
Изобретение относится к средству пассивной безопасности, применяемому в автомобилях для защиты пассажиров при авариях. Средство пассивной безопасности состоит из комплексной системы подъемных механизмов и датчиков удара. Комплексная система подъемных механизмов при езде непрестанно выполняет функции внутренних амортизаторов. Датчики удара установлены со всех сторон корпуса транспортного средства по периметру и, в случае столкновения, подают сигнал на блок управления. Механизмы в основании спинки сидений до ДТП позволяют откидывать кресла сидений назад. Механизмы в передней части сидений выполнены с возможностью быстрого подъема передней части сидушек сидений при сигналах датчиков удара. Комплексная система подъемных механизмов выставляет сидения в более горизонтальное положение. Достигается повышение безопасности пассажиров при авариях за счет уменьшения воздействия ДТП на пассажиров и поглощения кинетической энергии.
Abstract:
Pneumatische Verstellanordnung für einen Fahrzeugsitz mit folgenden Merkmalen. Sie hat zumindest eine mit einem Druckmittel befüllbare Kammer bzw. Blase (B1, B2) als Verstellelement. Ferner hat sie eine Fluidleitung (Fll, F21, F12, F22) zum Befüllen und/oder Entleeren der Kammer. Außerdem hat sie eine Ventileinrichtung (EV1, EV2), die in der Fluidleitung zur Volumenstromregelung vorgesehen ist. Schließlich hat sie einen Schalldämpfer (SD1, SD2), der ebenso in der Fluidleitung angeordnet ist, um einen in der Fluidleitung entstehenden Schall zu absorbieren. Auf diese Weise kann eine pneumatische Verstellanordnung für einen Fahrzeugsitz insbesondere für Komfortfunktionen geschaffen werden, bei der störende Geräusche während des Ausführens der Komfortfunktion reduziert werden.
Abstract:
An ATV is disclosed which includes a removable passenger support assembly (36). The passenger support assembly (36) supports the passenger seat and is dampened by a linear force element (46).
Abstract:
A suspension system has an isolator cylinder with a primary reservoir having a primary reservoir volume, a secondary reservoir having a secondary reservoir volume, a manifold and a primary duct fluidly connecting the primary and secondary reservoirs for controlling the flow rate of the fluid between the primary and secondary reservoirs, and optionally a valve for controlling a flow rate of a fluid through the duct, and a control system for operating the valve. A shock absorption system for a vehicle seat is provided comprising an isolator with at least one secondary pneumatic reservoir connected with a fluid duct to the primary reservoir of an isolator. The reservoir volumes, length and cross sectional area of the connecting duct and fluid flow control valves may be determined using methods including algorithms, experimental testing and models to determine the optimal values to achieve consistent shock mitigation across a range of seat loads.
Abstract:
An improvement of patent no. 90.152.43 of November 27, 1990 is provided, as far as the following features are concerned: (1) User comfort is enhanced by means of a new arrangement and design of clamping arms (2 and 12 in figs. 5-6) using a hydropneumatic system as a power transmission assembly; the hydraulic system is included in claim 8 of patent no. 90.152.43. (2) A neutral or rest position is achieved by means of a control (52) (fig. 7) without locking the seat suspension. (3) The clamps (29 in figs. 5-6) are adapted to any seat which is moved up-down and up-down-up, etc., by the suspension via the hydropneumatic transmission system. (4) The hydropneumatic seat suspension is used to control the clamping arms (43)
Abstract:
Equipment and processes generate a seating solution by obtaining occupant data, calculating body dimensions from the occupant data, and calculating a best-fit body arrangement for an occupant. Occupant data may be obtained in various ways using available computational devices and software or by manually measuring the relevant dimensions on the occupant. A user interface for inputting occupant metrics and/or occupant measurements may be provided in a mobile terminal included in the vehicle or separate from the vehicle, thus giving users increased flexibility while maximizing simplicity and usability for the user or other personnel obtaining the data. Once an occupant's best-fit body arrangement is determined, it may be altered by changing the predetermined criteria to achieve optimum comfort, safety, and therapeutic benefit as well as used for providing improved comfort on a continuous basis and/or in response to detected or predicted vehicle, road, or atmospheric conditions.
Abstract:
A suspension system for passenger modules used with high-speed boats, the suspension system including a shock absorbing assembly, for supporting the passenger module relative to the vessel. The passenger module is attached to the vessel via an assembly of pivoting spars. The spars may be configured such that the passenger module moves from an upper at-rest no-load position towards a bottom loaded position, the passenger module tilts. The amount of such tilt may be adjustable. The suspension system may have include means for resisting relative lateral movement (e.g. a panhard rod or a Watts linkage) and an anti-sway device.
Abstract:
An improved seat suspension system (200) including, in combination, an air spring and shock absorber (220), which comprise an air spring member (320) and a shock absorber (310), respectively. The air spring member and shock absorber member (220) are longitudinally coupled to provide support and dampling along a longitudinal axis (223). The air spring member and shock absorber member (220) are coupled in a manner that enables them to be readily separated and independently serviced. A seat suspension (200) also comprises a seat (204) moveably coupled to a seat base (202) that has a support structure (208). The combination air spring and shock absorber (220) is interposed between the seat (204) and the seat base (202) to govern relative motion between the seat (204) and the seat base (202). The combination air spring and shock absorber (220) is rotationally coupled at each end to allow angular motion between the longitudinal axis (223) of the combination air spring and shock absorber (220) and the centerline (206) of the seat (204). The combination air spring and shock absorber (220) is positioned relative to the seat (204), seat base (202) and support structure (208) to provide momentless support and damping between the primary load-bearing area of the seat (204) and the seat base (202).
Abstract:
A seat for vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and the like, which comprises a main body (2), which can be associated with the chassis of a vehicle (A) and defines at least one resting and supporting surface for a user and/or a passenger; the main body (2) has at least one pad (3a, 3b) that can be filled with a fluid kept at at least one first predefined differential pressure value with respect to atmospheric pressure.
