A seat apparatus for a vehicle includes a first seat (30), a second seat (10), and a seatbelt mechanism (14) provided at the second seat (10). A first frame member (43) for supporting the second seat (10) and a first seat slide mechanism (46a) for slidably moving the second seat (10) are arranged to be vertically coplanar with a shoulder belt guide member (21) and the belt anchor (23) of the seatbelt mechanism (14). A first lock member (73, 83) is provided at a second frame member (41) disposed adjacently to the first seat (30) for supporting the second seat (10). A second lock member (74, 93) is provided at a supporting member (F, 66a) for supporting the first seat (30). The first and second lock members (73, 74, 83, 93) allow a movement of the second frame member (41) in a forward and backward direction of the vehicle and engage with each other for locking the second frame member (41) relative to a vehicle floor (F) when an excess load is received from the seatbelt mechanism

Seat apparatus for vehicle

A vehicle seat includes a seat back, a seat cushion, and a system for facilitating relieving of fatigue of a person sitting on the vehicle seat for many hours. The system includes an angle sensor installed within the seat back for sensing variations in an angle of a pelvic region of the person sitting on the vehicle seat, an active device installed within the seat back for pressure-supporting the pelvic region of the person, an actuating device connected to the active device for actuating the active device and a sequential control unit electrically connected to the angle sensor and the actuating device for controlling the operation of the actuating device, the angle sensor being constructed so as to send the sequential control unit signals representing values of variations in the angle of the pelvic region of the person, the sequential control unit being constructed such that, when a value represented by a signal sent to the sequential control unit from the angle sensor is more than a predetermined value, the sequential control unit sends the actuating device a command to actuate the actuating device, whereby the active device is actuated, to thereby control supporting pressure that is applied to the pelvic region of the person.

A multiple position air mattress system for achieving various support positions includes a first mattress, a second mattress, and a bellows unit attached to the second mattress. The bellows unit is extendable for either elevating the second mattress or providing a support for an individual. A pump unit is adapted to be fluidly connected to and for providing pressurized air to the first mattress, the second mattress and the bellows unit. The multiple position air mattress can assume a prone bed position with the mattresses longitudinally adjacent each other and the bellows unit deflated, a recessed lounge position with the mattresses longitudinally adjacent each other and the bellows unit inflated and atop the second mattress, an adjustable lounge position with the mattresses longitudinally adjacent each other and the bellows unit inflated under the second mattress, and a chair position with the first mattress under the second mattress, and the mattresses and bellows unit inflated.

A different electric power supply electric power source cell is proposed which includes paths by which electric power source voltages, the electric potentials of which are different from each other, are respectively taken in from the area pad and the probing pad and by which the voltages are supplied to the blocks requiring these electric power source voltages

Semiconductor integrated circuit device

The invention relates to a method for adapting body support, especially lateral support, of a passenger seated in a vehicle seat in terms of vehicle movement dynamics. According to said method, a current adaptation value taking into account the current vehicle speed is predicted and set using an adaptation system integrated into the vehicle seat. The intrinsic inertia of the adaptation system is compensated by making the adaptation prediction based on stored data relating to the current course of the road, onto which the current vehicle data are projected, and controlling the adaptation system taking into account the intrinsic adaptation time of the system, in such a way that when an event requiring adaptation occurs, preferably a bend, at least one appropriate preselected adaptation is achieved.

An inflatable child seat includes at least two air chambers. The child seat is foldable when the at least two air chambers have been evacuated to form a suitcase like body. A releasable fastener is provided for fixing the child seat in its folded position. One half of the suitcase-like body forms an air chamber representing an inflatable cushion and the other half contains air chambers forming side parts, a backrest, a head restraint and a tray of the child seat.

Adaptation is determined from stored data concerning the current course of the road, in conjunction with current vehicle data. Taking into account inherent delay, the adaptation system (18) is controlled to make at least one adjustment when required, preferably when running through a curve. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding vehicle seat with dynamic adaptation.

Dynamic adaptation of vehicle seat to support body when cornering, determines adjustment from stored and current road and vehicle data, allowing for inherent delay

An opening system for a movable passenger motor vehicle body part, such as a door, has lock which is arranged on an inner shell of the vehicle body part and can be operated by an outside handle arrangement, which is fixed on an outer shell of the vehicle body part. A deformation-resistant supporting arrangement is provided at the level of the outer handle arrangement on a side of the inner shell of the vehicle body part facing the outside handle arrangement, which supporting arrangement projects toward the outside handle arrangement.

The device consists of a lock on an inner door panel, and a grip on an outer panel (3). A non-deformable support block (8) is fastened to the inner panel (2) of the door (1), on the same height as the outer grip (6,7) and projecting towards it. A bearing part (6) for the grip arrangement located on the inside of the outer panel, has a support element (7), which acts with the support block during a collision. The support block has an end stop surface, which is aligned so that a downward directed movement component is applied to the bearing part and the outer panel during a collision.
