Proposal of a Mechanism for Car Seat Movement

Abstract

This article is focused on the height adjustment of a front car seat. The goal was to design seat movement in pure vertical direction. The article begins with a theoretical introduction, in which the functions and parts of car seats were described. The next part contains possible schematic designs of a mechanism, as well as the reasons for possible changes of the contemporary mechanisms. Afterwards, some functional parameters of the chosen schematically-designed mechanism were calculated, the results could then be used for further calculations needed for the creation of a three-dimensional model of the mechanism. The article deals mainly with the theoretical principles, and there are many further possibilities for development within the subject.
