The present invention provides a mechanism for operating a vehicle split seat whereby operation levers of two seat backs can be arranged compactly on a wall surface of a luggage compartment or the like such that the two operation levers have the same pivot support point, without impairing operability of the levers. Two operation leversare respectively connected to locking mechanisms of at least two adjacent seat backsB by way of operation cables, the operation leversbeing formed of a central leverand an outer leverprovided outside the central lever having the same pivot support point, operation parts being provided on the free end sides of arm parts of both the leversand operating spaces X, Y, Z which allow both the leversto be operated individually also being provided.

Mechanism for operating vehicle split seat

A movable floor device for a vehicle, which comprises a movable board disposed beneath feet of an occupant seated in an occupant seat, a drive source disposed below the occupant seat, and a driving-force transmission mechanism adapted, according to a driving force of the drive source, to input a force directed in a selected one of frontward and rearward directions of a vehicle body, into a rear portion of the movable board. The movable board is supported in such a manner as to be selectively displaced upwardly and downwardly in response to respective ones of the frontward and rearward forces input from the driving-force transmission mechanism. The movable floor apparatus of the present invention makes it possible to allow a lowermost height position of a movable board to be set at a lower level so as to cope with various seating postures with enhanced flexibility.

Movable floor apparatus for vehicle

A floor board positioned in the foot area of an occupant seated in an occupant seat is allowed to be driven up or down. In an automobile movable floor apparatus, a floor boardthat covers the upper face of an automobile body floorand a raising-lowering drive mechanismthat drives the floor boardto be raised or lowered are provided in the foot area of an occupant seated in an occupant seat, and a toe board portionsloping down to the rear and a floor base portionthat extends toward the rear of the automobile body and is continuous with the rear end of the toe board portionare provided in the automobile body floor. The floor boardincludes a toe board corresponding portionthat corresponds to the toe board portionof the automobile body floor, and a floor base corresponding portionthat corresponds to the floor base portion, and the toe board corresponding portionand the floor base corresponding portionare formed in a flattened V-like shape when viewed from the side.

Automobile movable floor apparatus

A vehicle seat assembly comprises a coupling membercoupling a front end of a seat-cushion frameto an upper rail, a rear link memberprovided in a rear end of the seat-cushion frame, and a support memberprovided on the side of a vehicle body to support the rear link member. The rear link memberincludes a pivoted portionpivotally supported by the upper rail, a coupled portioncoupled to the rear end of the seat-cushion frame, and an engaged portion engaged with the support member. The support memberincludes a sliding drive portion (sliding groove) which slidably supports the engaged portion of the rear link memberto allow the rear link memberto be swingingly displaced in conjunction with a longitudinal movement of the seat-cushion frame, so as to move the coupled portionin an upward/downward direction to drivingly lift and lower the rear end of the seat-cushion frame. The vehicle seat assembly of the present invention can effectively a height position of a seat cushion in conjunction with an operation of adjusting a longitudinal position of an occupant seat in conformity to occupant's physique or the like.
