20100176621 | Device for Energy Absorption Upon Impact for Automotive Vehicle Seat, Seat and Automotive Vehicle Comprising the Device - Device for energy absorption in particular for an automotive vehicle seat upon impact, said device comprising a first element substantially in the form of a plate with a hole and a second element inserted in the hole, said first element comprising a series of cutouts that are successive along a deformation direction and define a series of yokes between each other extending along a direction of elongation transversal to the direction of deformation, said yokes having each a length along the direction of elongation, said length increases strictly from one yoke to the next according to the distance of the yokes in relation to the second element and the yokes having an overall concavity turned towards the second element. | 07-15-2010 |
20100230988 | DUAL STAGE VARIABLE LOAD ENERGY ABSORBER FOR VEHICLE SEATING - A vehicle safety seat system includes a seat, and a frame and support surface that are movable with respect to each other between rest and attenuated positions, wherein the frame and support surface are respectively a first and second distance apart. A biasing mechanism biases the frame and support surface to the rest position between blast and slam down phases. A damper coupled between the frame and support surface has blast and rebound recovery resistance settings. The blast resistance setting is set to a predetermined value based on a weight of a seat occupant. The damper, during the blast phase, resists motion between the frame and support surface toward the attenuated position based upon the blast resistance setting, and after the blast phase and prior to the slam down phase, resists motion between the frame and support surface toward the rest position based upon the rebound recovery resistance setting. | 09-16-2010 |

20110018301 | PASSENGER'S WEIGHT MEASUREMENT DEVICE FOR VEHICLE SEAT AND ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE FOR LOAD SENSOR - A passenger's weight measurement device for a vehicle seat, capable of suppressing generation of an initial load. The passenger's weight measurement device includes a pair of slide rails extending in parallel and fixed to the vehicle floor, and a pair of side frames that support the seat and are disposed above the pair of slide rails. Load cells are disposed between the pair of the slide rails and the pair of the side frames. A set of first connection frames for connecting both ends the pair of side frames extend in parallel so as to be perpendicular to the pair of side frames. Second and third connecting frames connect middle parts of the pair of slide rails so as to be perpendicular to the slide rails. The pair of the slide rails and the second and a third connecting frames constitute an H-shaped frame. | 01-27-2011 |

20120080902 | Longitudinal Adjustment Device - The invention relates to a longitudinal adjustment device of a motor vehicle seat, comprising a stationary bottom rail connectable to a motor vehicle and a seat rail connectable to the vehicle seat and longitudinally displaceably supported on the bottom rail between a front and a rear end position. In order to provide a longitudinal adjustment device which protects the seat rail against a crash-induced displacement with respect to the bottom rail in the area of its rear end position, it is provided that the detachment lock in effective connection with the bottom rail and the seat rail in the area of their rear end position is formed in such a manner that it blocks a crash-induced separation of the seat rail from the bottom rail. | 04-05-2012 |
20130043700 | STOWABLE CHILD SEAT FOR AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES - A child seat mount assembly, a seat for mounting a child seat, and a passenger vehicle having a stowable child seat are provided. A seat back is connected to the body for closing an access opening to a storage compartment and seating an occupant in an upright position, and for opening the access opening in a collapsed position. A child seat mounting plate is connected to the seat back such that the mounting plate and child seat extend into the storage compartment in the upright position of the seat back, and such that the child seat is in a seating position in the collapsed position of the seat back. A method is provided for converting a vehicle seat for receiving and storing a child seat in the storage compartment, and for deploying a child seat in the collapsed position of the seat back. | 02-21-2013 |
20140077519 | DUAL STAGE VARIABLE LOAD ENERGY ABSORBER FOR VEHICLE SEATING - A vehicle safety seat system includes a seat, and a frame and support surface that are movable with respect to each other between rest and attenuated positions, wherein the frame and support surface are respectively a first and second distance apart. A biasing mechanism biases the frame and support surface to the rest position between blast and slam down phases. A damper coupled between the frame and support surface has blast and rebound recovery resistance settings. The blast resistance setting is set to a predetermined value based on a weight of a seat occupant. The damper, during the blast phase, resists motion between the frame and support surface toward the attenuated position based upon the blast resistance setting, and after the blast phase and prior to the slam down phase, resists motion between the frame and support surface toward the rest position based upon the rebound recovery resistance setting. | 03-20-2014 |
20150137549 | VEHICLE SEAT HAVING A FLOOR POSITION - A vehicle seat, including a substructure and a backrest articulated on the substructure, can be transferred from a sitting position to a floor position by folding the backrest forward. A first rocker and second rocker, on the two outer seat faces, articulate the backrest on the substructure. The substructure, the first rocker, the backrest, and the second rocker form a four-bar linkage. Each of the second rockers is rotatably connected to the substructure by a respective second joint and to the backrest by a respective third joint. A transverse tube extends in the transverse vehicle direction between the two second rockers. The transverse tube has two ends, each of which is fastened to the associated second rocker in an area between the second joint and the third joint of the respective four-bar linkage. At least one connection point of a child seat fastening system is provided on the transverse tube. | 05-21-2015 |
