A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.

An electronically-activated support positioning system for a passenger seat can include a sensor capable of detecting a tactile input from a passenger and sending a signal, optionally through a controller, to a lock actuator coupled to a lockable hydraulic spring to either lock or unlock the lockable hydraulic spring. The lockable hydraulic spring can control movement of a support of the passenger seat, such as reclining of a seatback. In an example, when tactile input is detected, the lock actuator can unlock the lockable hydraulic spring, allowing an attached seatback to be adjusted. When tactile input is no longer detected, the lock actuator can lock the lockable hydraulic spring, securing the seatback from adjustment. The sensor can be sufficiently small to fit within the confines of an armrest. The sensor can be a microswitch positioned to detect deflection of a tab formed in the wall of the armrest.

A working vehicle according to one aspect of the present invention includes: an operator seat; and an arm rest arranged to a side of the operator seat and provided with a surface on which a plurality of operation tools are arranged. The plurality of operation tools include one operation tool has: a push-operating portion to be operated by being pushed; a display portion to display whether being in an operated state or being in a non-operated state; and a protrusion arranged between the push-operating portion and the display portion and separating the push-operating portion from the display portion.

A work machine can include an operator station, an overhead control station, a first display mounting system, a second display mounting system, a first display device, and a second display device. The operator station can include a rotatable seat. The first display mounting system can be connected to the overhead control station. The first display device can be connected to the first display mounting system. The second display mounting system can be connected to the rotatable seat, and the second display device can be connected to the second display mounting system. The first display mounting system can be operable to selectably adjust a position of the first display device relative to the overhead control station, and the second display mounting system can be operable to selectably adjust a position of the second display device relative to the rotatable seat.

A seat convenience apparatus for a rear seat passenger and an operation control method thereof is provided in a front seat. When an open angle of a footrest of the front seat does not satisfy a predetermined reference angle under the condition that a rear seat passenger desires to use the seat convenience device, operation of the seat convenience device is disabled in spite of the user's desire. Accordingly, misuse of the seat convenience device is prevented under non-use conditions.

A ventilated airline seating component including a porous air pad disposed in an interior volume of a housing and configured to collect air to be conditioned and ultimately forced out through the seating component to heat or cool a passenger to enhance comfort. The housing can serve as or be incorporated into a seating component such as an arm rest, leg rest or head rest, among other seating components within a passenger seating environment.

A lock mechanism is provided in front of each of left and right consoles to fix the console in an optional position. Each of the lock mechanisms is provided with a lock release lever for selecting a lock state of fixing the console and a lock release state of releasing fixation of the console. Each of the lock release levers is provided to extend outward in a left-right direction from the lock mechanism. The lock state is defined by an inclined posture in which a tip end side of the lock release lever is in an oblique downward direction and the lock release state is defined by a horizontal posture in which the tip end sides of the lock release lever is rotated in an upward direction. A hand hold part is provided in front of each of the consoles and above each of the lock release levers to swing the console in the upper-lower direction in the lock release state.

An electronically-activated support positioning system for a passenger seat can include a sensor capable of detecting a tactile input from a passenger and sending a signal, optionally through a controller, to a lock actuator coupled to a lockable hydraulic spring to either lock or unlock the lockable hydraulic spring. The lockable hydraulic spring can control movement of a support of the passenger seat, such as reclining of a seatback. In an example, when tactile input is detected, the lock actuator can unlock the lockable hydraulic spring, allowing an attached seatback to be adjusted. When tactile input is no longer detected, the lock actuator can lock the lockable hydraulic spring, securing the seatback from adjustment. The sensor can be sufficiently small to fit within the confines of an armrest. The sensor can be a microswitch positioned to detect deflection of a tab formed in the wall of the armrest.

An operator station is provided. The operator station may include a platform. The platform may at least partially extend along a plane. The operator station may include a first linkage member attached to a first portion of the platform and a second linkage member attached to a second portion of the platform. The first linkage member may be pivotal with respect to a first pivot axis, and the second linkage member may be pivotal with respect to a second pivot axis. The operator station may include an actuating member attached to the first linkage member. The actuating member may actuate the first linkage member for pivoting the first linkage member in a first direction and pivoting the second linkage member in the first direction. The platform may linearly translate in the plane during pivoting of the first linkage member and the second linkage member.

A left operating tool stand (39) disposed on the left side of an operator's seat (15) in a wheel loader (1) includes a support member (32), an operating tool stand (39) rotatably disposed to the support member (32) between an operating position and a tilt-up position, and an operating tool (53) disposed at a front end side of the operating tool stand (39) to operate the wheel loader (1). The operating tool stand (39) includes a rotating member (40) that is rotatably mounted about a support pin (33) as a rotational pivot, the supporting pin (33) being disposed to the support member (32), and a cam roller (50) that is rotatably disposed to the rotating member (40) and rotates together with the rotating member (40). A dimension (B) from a rotating center (O) of the rotating member (40) to an operating position contact part (60A1) with which the cam roller (50) comes in contact is formed to be smaller than a dimension (C) from the rotating center (O) of the rotating member (40) to a tilt-up position contact part (60B1) with which the cam roller (50) comes in contact.
