A height adjustable seat suspension having first and second bases connected by a linkage assembly with an air spring and shock disposed between the bases. The shock dampens vertical movement of the bases and the air spring increases in air volume to raise the seat height of the suspension and decreases in air volume to lower the seat height of the suspension. A threaded rod is also included as part of the shock which is threadably engaged with a collar that is rotated by a drive source. The engagement between the threaded portions of the rod and collar axially repositions the rod with respect to said collar to change the effective length of, the shock.

A fore and aft vehicle seat adjustment apparatus comprising a base having a plurality of opposingly located tracks disposed thereon. Also provided is a fore and aft adjustment apparatus in communication with the base. The adjustment apparatus includes a first member connected to an opposingly located second member. The first member is positionable with respect to the second member between a first and second position. The first member also includes a plurality of locking mechanisms which are adapted to releasably engage the tracks. In the first position, the locking mechanisms engage the tracks to lock the seat in position. In the second position, the locking mechanisms are disengaged from the tracks to permit fore and aft adjustment of the seat.

The present invention concerns a vehicle seat cushion having first and second sections. The sections may be pneumatically inflatable. The first section has an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The second section also has an upper chamber and a lower chamber. Each of the said sections are located a spaced distance apart to form an elongated vertical channel between the sections and may be located on the forward section of a curved back pan. The cushion may also be of a unitary construction and each section of the cushion may be independently inflatable as well.

The present invention concerns a vehicle seat having an opposingly located seat frame and located base. A dampener is connected to and disposed between the seat frame and the base. The invention includes at least one flexible anchor for coupling the seat frame to a point on the seat which is lower than the seat frame. In addition, a portion of said seat frame may be made of a light weight material such as magnesium.

A seat frame comprises a unitary magnesium die cast body having a top, a bottom, two sides, and front and back surfaces. The front surface has an outer perimeter flange positioned adjacent the two sides and the top of the body. An inner perimeter flange is spaced from and generally coextensive with the outer perimeter flange. The front surface also has at least one generally horizontally oriented flange and at least two generally diagonally oriented flanges. This arrangement, together with the use of the die cast magnesium, results in a lightweight yet strong and durable frame that provides generally uniform support to the overlying seat cushion. The frame body is also provided with a large aperture that is positioned to desirably lower the seat assembly center of gravity.

The present invention is directed to a vehicle seat assembly comprising a seat assembly frame, a seat and backrest subassembly having a seat pivotally mounted to the frame and a backrest pivotally connected at its lower end to the seat, and a link pivotally connected to the backrest and the frame. The seat and backrest subassembly is movable between a first position to facilitate operation of the vehicle while the driver is sitting and a second position to facilitate operation of the vehicle with the driver standing. When the seat and backrest subassembly is moved from the first position to the second position, the seat moves from a generally horizontal orientation to a generally vertical orientation and the backrest moves upward and forward.

Swivel mechanism for a vehicle seat, for example, includes a lower support-attachable element and a superimposed seat-carrying element interconnected by a turntable providing for 360. degree. angular movement of the upper element about an upright axis, together with latch structure for selectively locking the upper element in plural modes in angular ranges within the 360. degree. range. The turntable structure is in the form of an annulus through which securing bolts or the like pass upwardly for receipt by a retainer atop the upper element, the latter having a circular opening therein coaxial with the turntable and through which the securing bolts also pass to provide a rugged connection between the elements for resisting forces tending to separate the elements.
