Seating systems in which energy is harvested from the physical movement of the seat. The seating system includes a seating article, an electrical generator, a drive mechanism, and a battery. The generator, the drive mechanism, and the battery are supported on the seating article. The generator is powered by the drive mechanism in response to movement of the user. For example, the drive mechanism may be responsive to the vertical movements of a seat.

A cargo management system of this invention includes a deep well storage area beneath a cargo floor, which well may be horizontally and/or vertically divided and which preferably includes a plurality of doors to access the well. In the illustrated embodiment, the management system also includes a panel which may be placed into three positions: a first storage position in which the panel is flush against the back of the rear seat; a second shelf position in which the panel is horizontal and spaced from the cargo floor by a first distance; and a third privacy shield position in which the panel is also horizontal but is spaced from the cargo floor a second distance, the second distance exceeding the first distance.

An article attachment system is disclosed for a vehicle having one or more receiving members. The system includes a base having an attachment device to couple and uncouple the base with the receiving member. The base is configured to interchangeably receive an article and includes a retention device to selectively retain and release the article. A universal mounting adapter is also disclosed for interchangeably attaching articles to a receiving member and includes a base adapted to couple to the receiving member, a selectively deployable attachment device adapted to engage a portion of the receiving member and couple the base to the receiving member, an article interface to couple an article to the base, and a retention device between the article interface and the base.

Article attachment system

A modular system for a vehicle is provided which includes one or more elongated members adapted to be coupled to an interior portion of a vehicle, where one or more removable articles are configured for attachment to one or more of the members and a utility system provides utilities to the articles. One or more holders are positioned to align with the members and are coupled to the articles for attaching the articles to one or more of the members.

Modular system for a vehicle

A structure formed of a composite material and a support material, the support material being integrally coupled to the composite material by an insert molding process to form an integral structure, and protective head gear, such as a welding helmet, welding shield, hard hat, etc. using such structure. A method for making a structure using sheet-like composite material includes adhering to the composite material a relatively rigid support member or frame by insert molding directly to the composite material.

A utility emergency light assembly for vehicles, machinery, or the like detachably mounted by a slide coupling to a mounting bracket attached to the vehicle or machine. The light assembly has a compact, space-saving profile and includes a housing having a lamp assembly mounted within a spool journaled in the housing for reeling and unreeling a power cord, enabling movement of the assembly to areas of the vehicle where light is needed. A cap substantially closes the housing and includes a lens located over the lamp assembly. The lamp assembly is sealed within the spool, while the remainder of the housing is open to allow water drainage and to prevent the accumulation of moisture and debris.

Vehicle utility/emergency light assembly

A method of adhering articles to textile wearing apparel involving the steps of laminating a precut article having an upper surface and a lower surface between a clear polyester coating and an adhesive scrim backing to envelope the article and protect it from moisture and scuffing, cutting margins away from the laminated article to form an enveloped article, and applying the enveloped article to wearing apparel at a temperature of approximately 270.degree. F. to 300.degree. F., under a pressure of approximately 30 psi to 50 psi for a period of approximately 8 seconds to 15 seconds. The article becomes firmly adhered to the wearing apparel and remains impervious to moisture after repeated machine washing and drying cycles.
