Abstract
Disclosed is a lateral isolator for use in vehicle seats. In particular, disclosed is a lateral isolator for seats used in heavy machinery and vehicles to ensure that the driver is minimally affected by road conditions on rough roads or in difficult operating conditions.
Claims4
A lateral isolator used by mounting between a seat bench and a seat suspension system in vehicles in order to minimize the discomfort caused by prolonged sitting position and vehicle vibration and to ensure that the driver is minimally affected by road conditions in the seats used in vehicles, on rough roads or under harsh working conditions, the lateral isolator comprising:
- lower rails mounted horizontally and parallel to each other on the seat suspension system;
- upper rails movable linearly on the lower rail, mounted horizontally and parallel to each other at the base of the seat bench;
- rail bars positioned between the lower rails and the upper rails to enable the lower rails and the upper rails to move linearly on each other;
- at least one rolling element positioned between the lower rails and the upper rails to reduce the friction generated during the movement of the lower rails and the upper rails on each other and to enable the rails to move on each other;
- a shock absorber positioned between the lower rail and the upper rail, and which provides balance by limiting the movement between the lower rails and the upper rails;
- two springs positioned between the lower rail and the upper rail, and which provide balance by limiting the movement between the lower rails and the upper rails;
- and
- a balance apparatus positioned between the springs for connecting the springs to the lower rail in order to balance the movement of the rails.
