A wheel loader comprises a console box and a support component. The console box is disposed on the side of an operator's seat and is able to rotate in the forward and backward direction. The support component has a rotary shaft disposed in the left and right direction under the console box, and rotatably supports the console box around the rotary shaft between an operation position in which the console box is disposed horizontally and a retracted position in which the console box is rotated rearward from the operation position and is disposed at an angle. The location of the center of gravity of the console box is disposed more to the front than the rotary shaft at the operation position, and more to the rear than the rotary shaft at the retracted position.

Loader, Operator Seat Assembly with Integrated, Non-Electronic Hydraulic Pilot Valves
20190242093 · 2019-08-08 ·

A loader having a seat assembly mounted in the loader cab for movement along 2 axes. The cab pivots relative to the loader to permit access to loader components. The main operator controls in the loader are pilot valves operated by the loader operator without any electronic interfacing between the operator and the pilot valves. The pilot valves are supported directly by the seat assembly to move with the seat assembly and reduce inadvertent pilot valve motion induced by vehicle movement. Also provided is a hydraulic hose channeling arrangement which permits the support of hydraulic pilot valves relative to a seat assembly which is moveably mounted in a pilotable loader cab.

Work vehicle

A work vehicle includes a console box disposed to a side of an operator's seat, and a support including a rotational axis disposed in a left and right direction below the console box. The console box is configured to be rotatable in a forth and back direction. The support rotatably supports the console box around the rotational axis and between an operating position in which the console box is horizontally disposed and a retracted position in which the console box is inclined at a position in which the console box has been rotated rearward from the operating position. A spacing in a horizontal direction between front and rear ends of the console box disposed in the retracted position is less than a spacing in the horizontal direction between front and rear ends of the console box disposed in the operating position.

VEHICLE SEATING ARRANGEMENT WITH DEPLOYABLE BOLSTERS
20190232839 · 2019-08-01 · ·

A vehicle seating arrangement includes a seat and a seatback. One or more bolsters are integrated with at least one of the seat and the seatback. The one or more bolsters are deployable for use as an armrest.

Industrial vehicle armrest

An armrest includes an upper support section having one or more ventilation and drainage apertures that couple an upper surface of the upper support section to a lower portion of the armrest to facilitate airflow and drainage between the upper surface of the upper support section and the lower portion of the armrest. The armrest also includes one or more control implements and an arm pad removably coupled to the upper support section. The arm pad includes one or more pad apertures formed therein that communicate with the ventilation and drainage apertures to allow ventilation and drainage between an upper surface of the arm pad and the lower portion of the armrest.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to provide an improved mobility vehicle are disclosed. An example vehicle includes a sensor positioned with respect to a seat to detect pressure by a user with respect to the sensor and to generate a signal corresponding to the pressure; and a processor to convert the signal into a control command for a powertrain to move the vehicle.

VENTILATED AIRLINE SEATING COMPONENT
20190202326 · 2019-07-04 ·

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.

RETRACTABLE SEAT CONTROL INTERFACE ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE SEAT WITH RETRACTABLE SEAT CONTROL INTERFACE
20190184877 · 2019-06-20 ·

A retractable interface assembly includes a base member defining a track and a track follower support member engaging the track and moving along the track between a retracted position and an extended position. A viewing angle detent mechanism pivotably connects an interface panel to the track follower support member and defines a plurality of angular positions of the interface panel relative to the track follower support member, including a storage angle position and a full up angle position, to fix the interface panel relative to the track follower support member in one of the plurality of angular positions. A position setting device sets a position of the track follower support member along the track of the base member. The set positions include the retracted position and the extended position of the track follower support member along the track of the base member.
