SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SEAT-INTERLOCKING LEG REST - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18119132 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SEAT-INTERLOCKING LEG REST
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a seat-interlocking leg rest control system for a vehicle seat, which includes a first actuator to move the seat in different directions and a second actuator to rotate a leg rest attached to the seat cushion. A controller is used to limit the rotation angle of the leg rest based on the position of the seat.
- First actuator moves the seat in forward-backward or upward-downward directions.
- Second actuator rotates the leg rest attached to the front end of the seat cushion.
- Controller controls the operation of the second actuator to limit the rotation angle of the leg rest based on the seat position.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various vehicle seating systems to provide enhanced comfort and adjustability for passengers.
Problems Solved
1. Limited leg rest rotation angle based on seat position improves safety and prevents interference with other components. 2. Enhanced comfort and adjustability for passengers during long journeys.
Benefits
1. Improved comfort and adjustability for passengers. 2. Enhanced safety features in vehicle seating systems.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Seat-Interlocking Leg Rest Control System for Vehicle Seats" can be used in automotive industry for designing advanced seating systems in cars, buses, and other vehicles.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to seat control systems in vehicles, but specific information on similar technologies is not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system ensure the leg rest rotation does not interfere with other components of the seat?
The system likely includes sensors or limit switches to detect the position of the seat and adjust the leg rest rotation angle accordingly.
What materials are used in the construction of the actuators for durability and reliability?
The materials used in the construction of the actuators are not specified in the abstract, but they are likely to be durable and reliable to withstand regular use in a vehicle seating system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A seat-interlocking leg rest control system includes: a first actuator configured to move a seat for a vehicle, the seat including a seat cushion and a seatback, in a forward-backward direction or an upward-downward direction of the vehicle; a second actuator configured to rotate a leg rest, rotatably coupled to the front end portion of the seat cushion, in the upward-downward direction; and a controller connected to the first actuator and the second actuator to control operation of the second actuator such that the rotation angle of the leg rest is limited based on the position of the seat.
