A vehicle includes a seat that comprises a seat bottom, a seat back, a first biasing member, and a second biasing member. The seat back is pivotable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The first biasing member is coupled to each of the seat back and the bed frame. The second biasing member is coupled to each of the seat back and the bed frame.

Various embodiments may provide a convenient mechanism and system for users of vehicles that include handbrakes to operate reverse lockout deactivation mechanisms in connection with the handbrake. For example, saddle-type vehicles such as an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), snowmobile, motorcycle, or the like may benefit from certain embodiments. For example, the system that combines brake, reverse lockout deactivation, and parking brake mechanisms may benefit from a dual rate, dual direction spring system. An apparatus can include a first lever configured to pivot about a first axis. The apparatus can also include a second lever mounted with the first lever and configured further to pivot about a second axis offset from the first axis. The second lever can be configured to be biased to a first position by a first spring and a second spring.

A utility bed includes a bed frame, a side wall, and a door. The door at least partially defines a passageway and is pivotally coupled with the side wall and pivotable between an opened position and a closed position. A securing portion is configured for selective routing through the handle and releasable coupling to an adjacent portion of the utility bed.

A vehicle includes a roll cage, at least one rear seat, and at least one rear seat belt assembly. Each rear seat is positioned within a rear protected area at least partially defined by the roll cage. Each rear seat belt assembly is associated with a respective one of the rear seats, and includes a retractor assembly attached to the roll cage.

A vehicle includes a frame, a side wall, a door, a seat, and a stopper member. The side wall is coupled with the frame. The door is pivotally coupled with the side wall and is pivotable between a closed position and an opened position. The seat includes a seat back that is pivotable about a pivot axis between a stowed position and a deployed position. The stopper member is coupled with the door and extends outwardly from the door. The stopper member is configured to overlie at least a portion of the seat back when the seat back is in the stowed position with the door in the closed position.

Vehicle with pivoting seat back and stopper member

A vehicle includes a frame, a utility bed, a seat, and a locking device. The utility bed includes a bed frame and is pivotally coupled with the frame between a hauling position and a dumping position. The seat includes a seat back that is pivotally coupled with the bed frame between a stowed position and a deployed position. The locking device is coupled with the bed frame and includes a latch. The latch is moveable relative to both the bed frame and the seat back, between a lock position and an unlock position. When the seat back is in the stowed position, the latch is in the unlock position and disengaged from the frame. When the seat back is in the deployed position and the utility bed is in the hauling position, the latch is in the lock position and engaged with the frame.

Vehicles having utility bed and locking device

A vehicle includes a vehicular frame and a utility bed coupled with the vehicular frame. The utility bed includes a bed frame and a seat. The seat includes a seat bottom and a seat back. The seat back is movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The seat back includes an upper back support and a lower back support. The lower back support is movably coupled with the upper back support and is movable between a passenger support position and a stored position.
