Abstract:
The invention relates to a seat including a power recliner (2), a power slide mechanism (3), a seat back (4); and a walk-in lever (7) that releases the power recliner (2) so that the seat back (4) may rotate. The seat configured so that rotation of the seat back (4) after being released by the walk-in lever (7) in a forward direction by a predetermined amount releases the power slide mechanism (3) so that the seat may slide in a fore-aft direction.
Abstract:
A seat (1) including a seat back (4), a walk-in lever (7) that is configured to release the seat back (4) so that the seat back (4) may rotate, a slide mechanism having an upper rail and lower rail, whereby the seat moves in the fore-aft direction due to motion of the upper rail relative to the lower rail, a connection device between the seat back (4) and the slide mechanism, that is configured to release the slide mechanism, wherein rotation of the seat back (4) by a predetermined amount releases the slide mechanism so that the seat (1) may slide in a fore-aft direction.
Abstract:
A walk-in apparatus (100) for a seat of a vehicle, including an upper rail connected to the seat; a lower rail (403) connected to a floor of the vehicle; a lead screw (101) connected to the lower rail (403); a male helical gear (103) connected to the lead screw (101), the male helical gear (103) including external splines (205); and a female helical gear (105) connected to the upper rail (401). The female helical gear (105) includes internal splines (215) configured to engage with the external splines (205) of the male helical gear (103), and the male helical gear (103) and the female helical gear (105) are selectively separable. A torque transferred between the internal splines (215) of the female helical gear (105) and the external splines (205) of the male helical gear (103) when connected moves the upper rail (401) relative to the lower rail (403).
Abstract:
A release mechanism of a seat, including a two way motion actuator (10) that moves in both a first direction and in a second direction; a recliner release mechanism (19, 20) that releases a recliner of the seat in response to the two way motion actuator moving in the first direction; and a slide release mechanism (30, 33, 35) that releases a slide mechanism of the seat in response to the two way motion actuator moving in the second direction. The release mechanism also including a first unintentional movement prevention device (17) that prevents the slide mechanism from being released when the two way motion actuator moves in the first direction; and a second unintentional movement prevention device (38) that prevents the recliner from being released when the two way motion actuator moves in the second direction.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a slide return mechanism of a seat (1) for a vehicle, the seat including a seat back (2) and a seat base (3), the slide return mechanism including a recliner (14) that reclines the seat back (2), a slide release lever (12) that locks and unlocks the movement of a slide mechanism of the seat, and a stopper link (13). Rotation of the recliner (14) causes the seat back (2) to move downward, the slide release lever (12) to unlock the slide mechanism, and the stopper link (13) to move into position to prevent the seat from traveling in a rearward direction at a predetermined position.
Abstract:
A door handle apparatus for a vehicle is provided. The door handle includes a door handle body that is configured to be disposed at a door of the vehicle. A light source is mounted inside the door handle body. A light-transmitting member is located between the light source and the door handle body. The light-transmitting member is partially exposed to an exterior of the door handle body.
Abstract:
A noise-cancelation headrest for a vehicle including a slidable side wing (120, 122) on a side of headrest; a plurality of microphones (106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 118) configured to detect an audio-noise signal and output a first plurality of electrical signals; a plurality of speakers (142, 146, 148) configured to receive a second plurality of electrical signals and output an acoustic signal; and noise-cancelation circuitry configured to receive the first plurality of electrical signals and output the second plurality of electrical signals.
