VEHICLE SEAT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092233 titled 'VEHICLE SEAT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a vehicle seat with an angle detection device that detects the reclining angle of a seatback. It also includes an angle detection reference member that serves as a reference for the angle detection device, as well as a rotation limiting guide unit that connects a seat fixing structure to the angle detection reference member and limits its rotation during tilting of a seat cushion.

Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle seat may have an angle detection device configured to detect a reclining angle of a seatback, an angle detection reference member configured to serve as a reference for the angle detection device, and a rotation limiting guide unit configured to connect a seat fixing structure to the angle detection reference member and to limit rotation of the angle detection reference member by guiding upward-and-downward and forward-and-rearward movements of the angle detection reference member during tilting of a seat cushion around a hinge structure.
