A component for the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle includes a rigid supporting body, made of plastic material, an outer upholstery skin, made of plastic material, and a padding body made of foamed plastic material, which is set between the rigid body and the outer upholstery skin. The rigid body and the outer skin have portions formed by a polymeric material with carbon-based nanofillers, which have respective inner surfaces facing the padding body, which include one or more paths where said polymeric material with carbon-based nanofillers has been rendered electrically conductive by laser irradiation to define one or more electrical circuits, and one or more piezoresistive areas where the polymeric material has been rendered piezoresistive by laser irradiation to define one or more electrical switches, which can be activated by exerting a localized pressure on the outer upholstery skin.

The invention relates to a height-adjustable control lever carrier for a commercial vehicle seat, which carrier is at least partially arranged to the side of a seat part, wherein the control lever carrier is provided for receiving at least one control lever for controlling vehicle equipment and at least one armrest, and is characterised in that the control lever carrier comprises a multi-joint mechanism construction, by means of which the control lever carrier is adjustable both in a seat height direction and in a seat longitudinal direction relative to the seat part.

A seating group comprising a first seat and a second seat arranged side by side and each adjustable in seat depth and lumbar support, each comprising a seat part and a backrest part. It may be provided that the first seat and the second seat are each formed and provided for simultaneous adjustment of a seat depth and a lumbar support, wherein the seating group is formed such that the first seat and the second seat are adjustable independently of each other in the respective seat depth and lumbar support.

Systems and apparatuses include a cab floor defining a center plane, a seat slide actuator coupled to the cab floor and selectively moveable in a direction transverse to the center plane relative to the cab floor, and a seat supported by the seat slide actuator and moveable therewith.

An operation device according to the present invention includes a touch-sensitive operation surface installed in a vehicle and an operation guide formed corresponding to equipment mounted in the vehicle on the touch-sensitive operation surface. The operation device is configured to, when accepting a two-point touch operation for the touch-sensitive operation surface, accept only a touch operation for manual operation entered subsequently as a manual operation command for the equipment set in advance.

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 operator seat system is provided that includes an operator seat and an armrest control center with an I/O (input/output) system that is connected to and moves with the operator seat. An armrest control center mount system may include a seat mount and an armrest control center mount that are attached to each other with an adjustment system that allows adjustment of the armrest control center with respect to the operator seat.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat comprising an operator device arranged at the side for operating vehicle seat and/or vehicle functions, and an adjustment device for adjusting a vertical position and/or a tilt level of the operator device with respect to the rest of the vehicle seat, wherein the adjustment device comprises an axis of rotation extending in the seat width direction, and a shaft which is connected to the operator device, is spaced apart from the axis of rotation and arranged so as to be pivotable about said axis together with the operator device.
