A seat for a vehicle and more particularly a front seat for a vehicle includes a central pillar extending from the floor to the roof of the vehicle, and a center support extending forwardly from the central pillar. A lower rib extends laterally from the center support and supports a seat bottom fixed thereto. Primary and secondary intermediate ribs also extend laterally from the central pillar. A seat back is fixed to and supported by the primary and secondary intermediate ribs. Also, an upper rib is provided which extends laterally from the central pillar above the intermediate ribs. A headrest is fixed to and supported by the upper rib.

Vehicle seat

A multifunctional tray in a vehicle armrest adapted to temporarily receive food and beverage items is provided. The tray includes a tray body and a beverage container receiving aperture defined in the tray body. A recessed bin is defined in the tray body spaced apart from the beverage container receiving aperture. The condiment container receiving aperture is defined in the tray body adjacent the recessed bin. The condiment container receiving aperture has a generally segmentary shape defined by a generally circular aperture wall and an intersection between the condiment container receiving aperture and the recessed bin. The segmentary shape is appropriately sized to selectively receive rectangular and circular shape associated condiment containers while permitting access to the associated condiment container through the recessed bin for removal of the associated condiment containers.

Sauce holder for fold out arm rest

A pair of foldable rear seats for a motor vehicle includes a support stub fixed to the vehicle and a pair elongated support arms pivotally connected to the support stub. A pair of seat bottoms are pivotally connected to each of the respective support arms, such that each seat bottom is pivotable between a vertical folded position and a horizontal open position. Further, a pair of seat backs are each pivotally connected to a rear portion of each respective seat bottom in order to fold into the respective seat bottom from an open position. A headrest is slidably disposed on each seat back. Furthermore, a pair of seat legs are each pivotally connected to the seat bottom at an outer portion thereof so that when the seat bottom is in the open state, the seat leg, in its open position, extends from the seat bottom to the vehicle floor.

Rear seat for a vehicle

In an automobile including front and rear seats (Sf) and (Sr) disposed at a longitudinal distance on a vehicle body floor (F), rearward-extending support arms (A) are provided at lower portions of sides of the front seat (Sf). The rear seat (Sr) includes a seat portion ( ) which is connected at its front end to tip portions of the support arms (A) and pivotally turnable between a predetermined tilted-down position ( H) and a standing position ( S), and a seat back ( ) which is connected at its lower end to a front end of a rear floor section (Fr) and pivotally turnable between a predetermined standing position ( S) and a tilted-down position ( H). A receiving surface (Fm) for supporting the seat portion ( ) lying in the tilted-down position ( H) is formed between the front floor section (Ff) and the rear floor section (Fr) higher in level than the front floor section (Fr), and when the rear seat (Sr) is in service, the seat portion ( ) is retained in the tilted-down position ( H), and the seat back ( ) is retained in the standing position ( S). Thus, an occupant can sit in a forward-facing attitude on the rear seat. Moreover, the baggage chamber space is enlarged, and the floor structure simplified. Further, the seat arrangement is diversified.

Seat structure in automobile

In an automobile including front and rear seats Sf and Sr disposed at a longitudinal distance on a vehicle body floor F, rearward-extending support arms A are provided at lower portions of sides of the front seat Sf. The rear seat Sr includes a seat portion,which is connected at its front end to tip portions of the support arms A and pivotally turnable between a predetermined tilted-down position,H and a standing position,S, and a seat back,which is connected at its lower end to a front end of a rear floor section Fr and pivotally turnable between a predetermined standing position,S and a tilted-down position,H. A receiving surface Fm for supporting the seat portion,lying in the tilted-down position,H is formed between the front floor section Ff and the rear floor section Fr higher in level than the front floor section Fr, and when the rear seat Sr is in service, the seat portion,is retained in the tilted-down position,H, and the seat back,is retained in the standing position,S. Thus, an occupant can sit in a forward-facing attitude on the rear seat. Moreover, the baggage chamber space is enlarged, and the floor structure simplified. Further, the seat arrangement is diversified.
