Abstract
A system for mounting a vehicle seat on a vehicle floor comprises a first unit 12 for affixing to the seat and a second unit 10 for affixing to the vehicle floor, the first and second units being connected together so as to be alterable between a locked (e.g. normal) configuration in which the position of the first unit is fixed in relation to the second unit, and a mobile (e.g. accident) configuration in which the first unit is movable relative to the second unit. The system further comprises decelerating means 10b such that when the system is in the mobile configuration, the decelerating means are arranged to reduce the velocity of the first unit in a direction away from the position of the first unit in the locked configuration. During a crash, collision or impact, the system may shift to the mobile configuration, wherein a controlled deceleration is applied to the seat and occupant torso, so as to reduce the abrupt deceleration of the head, reducing neck injury (e.g. whiplash) that would arise from an otherwise sudden fore or aft head movement. The decelerating means may comprise resiliently-deformable elements (e.g. spring or hydraulic damper), or obliquely angled portion 10b.
Description
VEHICLE SEAT MOUNTING SYSTEM
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a system for mounting a vehicle seat on a vehicle floor, more specifically to a system that is arranged to allow a vehicle seat to be mounted on a vehicle floor in a plurality of configurations.
Background to the invention
It is known that vehicle collisions may cause whiplash, a type of neck injury arising from sudden movement of the head forwards or backwards. This type of violent movement of the head is thought to cause the soft tissues in the neck to become stretched and damaged, resulting in neck pain and tenderness; neck stiffness; headaches; muscle spasms; and/or pain in the shoulders and arms. In certain cases, symptoms may persist for several months and/or severely limit the activities that a sufferer is able to undertake.
Furthermore, compensation for whiplash claims is known to have a significant influence on the cost of vehicle insurance.
Therefore, it is desirable to configure vehicles so as to reduce the risk of whiplash occurring during collisions or other incidents.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, in a first aspect, the present invention may provide a system for mounting a vehicle seat on a vehicle floor, the system comprising:
a first unit for affixing to the seat and a second unit for affixing to the vehicle floor, the first and second units being connected together so as to be alterable between a locked configuration in which the position of the first unit is fixed in relation to the second unit, and a mobile configuration in which the first unit is movable relative to the second unit;
the system comprising decelerating means such that when the system is in the mobile configuration, the decelerating means are arranged to reduce the velocity of the first unit in a direction away from the position of the first unit in the locked configuration.
The system is configured such that during normal operation of the vehicle, the first and second units are connected in a locked configuration, such that the seat maintains a constant position relative to the vehicle floor. However, when the vehicle experiences a collision, the system tends to shift to the mobile configuration, which is configured to apply a controlled deceleration to the seat, rather than the abrupt deceleration that would otherwise result. This reduces the force experienced by the occupant of the seat, and particularly by the head, which is generally unsupported and relatively heavy.
The system may comprise one or more rollers for allowing the first unit to move relative to the second unit in the mobile configuration. Alternatively, the first unit may be slidably connected to the second unit in the mobile configuration.
In certain cases, the decelerating means may comprise a resiliently-deformable element provided on one of the first and second units, the resiliently-deformable element being interposed between a portion of the first unit and a portion of the second unit. The resiliently-deformable element may comprise e.g. a spring or a hydraulic damper.
In other cases, the system may be configured such that the first and second units each comprise a first elongate portion and a second elongate portion that is angled obliquely to the first elongate portion, the first elongate portion of the first unit being aligned with the first elongate portion of the second unit and the second elongate portion of the first unit being aligned with the second elongate portion of the second unit;
wherein one of the first and second units comprises a first channel extending along the first elongate portion and a second channel extending along the second elongate portion, the first and second channels each accommodating a respective roller that is affixed to the other one of the first and second units.
In these cases, the system is typically affixed to the vehicle floor such that the first elongate portions are aligned with the vehicle floor, while the second elongate portions extend in a direction that is generally away from the vehicle floor. Thus, as the second elongate portion of the first unit travels away from the first elongate portion of the second unit, the potential energy of the first unit increases, leading to its deceleration.
Typically, the first channel is bounded at one end of the respective unit by a wall connecting the two sides of the channel, and the second channel is bounded at the other end of the respective unit by a wall connecting the two sides of the channel.
In general, the first channel is in communication with the second channel of that unit.
Preferably, the system comprises one or more rollers or sliders affixed to one of the first unit and the second unit, the one or more rollers or sliders being in abutting contact with the other of the first and second units, wherein the other of the first and second units is provided with a locking device comprising a first obstacle portion and second obstacle portion, the first and second obstacle portions being in a spaced arrangement to define a holding region that is configured to accommodate one of the one or more rollers or sliders therein, wherein the first obstacle portion is arranged to prevent motion of the roller or slider in a first direction and the second obstacle portion is arranged to inhibit motion of the roller or slider out of the holding region in a second direction opposed to the first direction.
During routine operation of the system, the system is in the locked configuration, in which the roller or slider is held in the holding region through the presence of the first and second obstacle portions. The system is configured such that the impact of a collision causes the roller or slider to overcome the second obstacle portion, so as to move out of the holding region, such that the system moves to the mobile configuration.
Preferably, the second obstacle portion is retractable, so as to be movable between a protruding position and a retracted position. This allows the system to be returned to the locked configuration, by retracting the second obstacle portion, so as to allow the roller or slider to return to the holding region.
Preferably, the second obstacle portion is resiliently biased to a protruding position.
In certain cases, the system comprises at least one roller, and the height of the second obstacle portion in the protruding position is between 0.25 and 0.75 times the diameter of the roller. This is thought to assist in maintaining a good balance between maintaining the roller in the holding region during normal operation of the vehicle and allowing the system to move to the mobile configuration in the event of a collision or other incident.
Typically, the profile of the second obstacle portion on the side proximal to the holding region has at least one section that is angled obliquely to the second direction. This helps to ensure that the second obstacle portion inhibits, but does not prevent, movement of the roller out of the holding region.
In certain cases, the profile of the second obstacle portion on the side distal to the holding region has at least one section that is angled obliquely to the second direction. This may assist in returning the roller to the holding region, so as to return the system from the mobile configuration to the locked configuration.
In certain cases, the second obstacle portion may be symmetrical in the first and second directions. In certain cases, the second obstacle portion may have a dome shape.
In certain embodiments, the system may comprise one or more sensors for detecting acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, the one or more sensors being configured to generate signals for controlling the position of the second obstacle. Such sensors are known in the art, for example, from airbag deployment systems, and may also be known as inertia switches.
In such cases, the second obstacle portion may be provided by a solenoid valve, the solenoid valve being configured so as to move the second obstacle portion between a protruding position and a retracted position.
In certain cases, the system has first and second mobile configurations, the first mobile configuration allowing movement of the first unit in a first direction away from the position of the first unit in the locking configuration and the second mobile configuration allowing movement of the first unit in a second direction away from the position of the first unit in the locking configuration, the second direction being opposed to the first direction.
In such cases, the system further comprises first and second decelerating means, the first decelerating means being arranged to reduce the velocity of the first unit in the first direction and the second decelerating means being arranged to reduce the velocity of the first unit in the second direction.
This may allow the system to respond to external forces applied in a first direction (for example, in the case of a head-on collision) and in a second direction (for example, in the case of a rear-end shunt).
For example, the system may comprise a locking device located between the first and second decelerating means.
In a second aspect, the present invention may provide a transportation means comprising at least one seat and a floor, the seat being mounted on the floor by means of the system according to the first aspect of the invention.
The system for mounting the seat on the floor may include one or more of the optional features of the system according to the first aspect of the invention.
The transportation means may be e.g. one of a car, coach, van, lorry, train, tram, hovercraft, ship, or aircraft.
When a seat is mounted onto the floor of a transportation means via a conventional system, it is often found that in the event of a collision, the sudden change in velocity of the seat may cause the head of the person in the seat to be flung around violently. For example, in the event of a head-on car collision, in a conventional arrangement, the seat belt generally restricts the torso of the seat user from being thrown forward, but the head may still be flung forwards quite ferociously.
The mounting means of the system according to the first aspect of the invention allow this effect to be counteracted, since torso of the seat user continues to move forward for a controlled period of time, thus helping to avoid strain on the neck caused by sudden movement of the head relative to the torso.
In certain cases, the transportation means may comprise both the system according to the first aspect of the invention and an airbag system as an additional safety feature in the event of a collision.
Detailed description
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the following
Figures in which:
Figure 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of a system for mounting a vehicle seat on a vehicle floor, according to a first aspect of the invention;
Figure 2 shows a detailed view of a portion of Figure 1;
Figure 3 shows the components of Figure 2, as seen in an end view of the system;
Figure 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a portion of a second embodiment of a system for mounting a vehicle seat on a vehicle floor, according to the first aspect of the invention.
Referring to Figures 1-3, a system for mounting a vehicle seat on a vehicle floor has a first runner 10 and a second runner 12. The first runner 10 has a major portion 10a and a minor portion 10b. Both the major and minor portions are elongate in shape. The minor portion 10b is shorter than the major portion 10a and is angled obliquely to the major portion 10a.
The second runner 12 has a major portion 12a and a minor portion 12b. Both the major and minor portions are elongate in shape. The minor portion 12b is shorter than the major portion 12a and is angled obliquely to the major portion 12a.
The shapes of the first and second runners 10,12 conform, such that when the major portions 10a,12a are aligned, the minor portions 10b,12b are also aligned.
The first runner 10 has a channel extending along its length and end caps 14a,b located at each end of the channel. The channel has a base and two sidewalls extending from the base. The ends of the sidewalls distal from the base each have lips extending in a direction towards each other, so as to partially close the channel.
The first runner 10 also has a locking device 16 located adjacent end cap 14b. The locking device comprises a bolt 18 and a retaining cage 20. The retaining cage is affixed to the base of the channel on the exterior of the runner, about an aperture in the base of the channel. The retaining cage has an opening 22 located distal to the aperture in the base of the channel.
The bolt 18 has a head 24 and a shaft 26. A nut 29 is mounted on the end of the shaft 26 distal from the head 24. A collar is provided between the head and the shaft, the collar having a diameter greater than the head or the shaft. A helical spring 28 is disposed around the portion of the shaft 26 located within the retaining cage 20. The diameter of the helical spring 28 is greater than that of the opening 22 and less than the diameter of the collar.
The second runner 12 has rollers 40a,b mounted on it by means of respective shafts 42a,b. A first roller 40a is mounted on the major portion 12a of the second runner, and a second roller 40b is mounted on the minor portion 12b of the second runner. The rollers 40a,b are mounted on the convex side of the second runner 12.
Helical springs are disposed around shafts 42a,b to stop them jamming when the system is in operation. These roller shaft springs are adjustable via the locknuts provided on the respective roller shafts.
The rollers 40a,b are held within the channel of the first runner 10, the first roller 40a being held in the region of the channel located between the locking device 16 and the end plate 14b, while the second roller 40b is held within the region of the channel located in the minor portion 10b of the first runner 10.
In use, the first runner is affixed to the floor of a transportation means, such as a car, coach, van, lorry, train, tram, hovercraft, ship, or aircraft, so that the major portion 10a of the runner is aligned with the floor and the minor portion 10b of the runner has its free end above the major portion 10a. The second runner is affixed to the base of a seat. The major portions 10a,12a of the runners are aligned with each other, as are minor portions 10b,12b. The second runner is positioned such that roller 40a is held in place against the end plate 14b by means of the head of the locking device 16. The locking device 16 is resiliently biased to a position in which the head 24 protrudes into the channel of the first runner 10.
In the case that the transportation means is subjected to a force F, the momentum of the second runner 12 causes it to be urged relative to the first runner 10 in a direction away from end plate 14b and towards end plate 14a. This causes roller 40a to overcome the obstacle provided by protruding head 24, so that the roller is no longer retained in position by locking device 16.
Thus, the second runner 12 moves in a direction opposite to force F, but experiences deceleration due to the oblique orientation of minor portions 10b, 12b of the first and second runners.
After force F has subsided, the second runner may be returned to the locking position, by forcing roller 40a back over head 24, so that it is retained between locking device 16 and end plate 14b.
Alternatively, a force may be applied to shaft 26 e.g. by means of bolt 29, to move head 24 in a direction away from the second runner, thus allowing roller 40a a free path to return to abut end plate 14b. Since locking device 16 is biased to a protruding position, once shaft 26 is released, the locking device will return to the protruding position, so that roller 40a is retained between head 24 and end plate 14b.
Referring to Figure 4, a modification of the system of Figure 1 is shown. Like numerals indicate like features. Specifically, a modified locking portion 16’ is shown, in which the head 24’ has a symmetrical shape, in this case, a domed shape. This is considered to be preferable to the asymmetrical head 24 shown in Figure 1, since it provides a reduced obstacle to the return of roller 40a to the locking position between head 24’ and end plate 14b.
No bolt is provided on shaft 26, since it is thought that the roller can be returned to the locking position without the need to pull the locking device away from the second runner.
