Abstract
Disclosed is a seat apparatus for a vehicle, which has the functions of supporting a seat main body being placed on a floor and behind pedals in the vehicle in such a way that the seat main body is movable forward, backward, upward and downward and that the seat main body is made higher in height as it moves forward, and adjusting a position of the seat main body forward, backward, upward and downward in a predetermined adjusting orbit, so that the position fits different builds of drivers. Furthermore, the adjusting orbit is determined based on hip points of the drivers, and the hip points are set on the condition that a viewpoint and heels of the drivers are fixed.
Claims8
A seat apparatus for a vehicle comprising:
- a support portion configured to support a seat main body being placed on a floor and behind pedals in the vehicle in such a way that the seat main body is movable forward, backward, upward and downward and that the seat main body is made higher in height as the seat main body moves forward;
- and
- an adjustment portion configured to adjust adjusting a position of the seat main body forward, backward, upward and downward in a predetermined adjusting orbit having a curved shape, while maintaining an angular orientation of the seat main body so that the position fits different builds of drivers,
- wherein the adjusting orbit is determined based on hip points of the drivers, and the hip points are set on the condition that a viewpoint and heels of the drivers are fixed.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a floor;
- and
- a seat comprising a support portion configured to support a seat main body being placed on the floor and behind pedals in the vehicle in such a way that the seat main body is movable forward, backward, upward and downward and that the seat main body is made higher in height as the seat main body moves forward;
- and
- an adjustment portion configured to
- adjust a position of the seal main body forward, backward, upward and downward in a predetermined adjusting orbit having a curved shape, while maintaining an angular orientation of the seat main body so that the position fits different builds of drivers,
- wherein the adjusting orbit is determined based on hip points of the drivers, and the hip points are set on the condition that a viewpoint and heels of the drivers are fixed.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a seat configured to
- support a seat main body being placed on a floor and behind pedals in the vehicle in such a way that the seat main body is movable forward, backward, upward and downward and that the seat main body is made higher in height as the seat main body moves forward;
- and
- adjust a position of the seat main body forward, backward, upward and downward in a predetermined adjusting orbit having a curved shape, so that the position fits different builds of drivers;
- wherein the adjusting orbit is determined based on hip points of the drivers, and the hip points are set on the condition that a viewpoint and heels of the drivers are fixed,
- the seat comprising
- a link unit configured to support the seat main body parallel to the floor in such a way that the seat main body is movable upward and downward,
- a seat slide unit configured to support the seat main body through the link unit in such a way that the seat main body is movable forward and backward, and
- a guide unit configured to move the seat main body in the adjusting orbit by varying a height of the link unit in response to the movement of the seat slide unit.
