VEHICLE SEATING ASSEMBLY WITH LOCKOUT CAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18075719 titled 'VEHICLE SEATING ASSEMBLY WITH LOCKOUT CAM
The abstract describes a patent application for a vehicle seating assembly that includes a mounting bracket, a seat, a seatback, and a cam assembly. The seat and seatback are rotatably coupled to the mounting bracket, and the seatback has a protrusion. The cam assembly, which is also rotatably coupled to the mounting bracket, includes a lockout cam with two ends that engage with the seatback and seat to restrict their movement in non-use states.
- The seating assembly includes a mounting bracket, seat, seatback, and cam assembly.
- The seat and seatback are rotatably coupled to the mounting bracket.
- The seatback features a protrusion.
- The cam assembly, also attached to the mounting bracket, includes a lockout cam with two ends.
- The lockout cam restricts movement of the seatback and seat in non-use states.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle seating systems - Public transportation for passenger seating - Furniture industry for innovative seating designs
Problems Solved: - Prevents unwanted movement of the seat and seatback in non-use states - Enhances safety and stability of the seating assembly
Benefits: - Improved user experience with secure seating - Increased safety measures in vehicles and public transportation - Innovative design for modern seating solutions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Vehicle Seating Assembly for Enhanced Safety and Stability" This technology can be applied in automotive manufacturing, public transportation, and furniture design industries. The market implications include improved seating systems for vehicles, enhanced passenger safety in public transport, and innovative furniture designs.

Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle seating assembly includes a mounting bracket, a seat, a seatback, and a cam assembly. The seat is rotatably coupled to the mounting bracket. The seatback is rotatably coupled to the mounting bracket. The seatback includes a protrusion. The cam assembly is rotatably coupled to the mounting bracket. The cam assembly includes a lockout cam having a first end and a second end. The first end of the lockout cam engages with the protrusion of the seatback such that movement of the seatback relative to the mounting bracket is restricted in a first non-use state. The second end of the lockout cam engages with the seat such that movement of the seat relative to the mounting bracket is restricted in a second non-use state.
