Abstract: The invention concerns a seat (1) for a motor vehicle, which seat can adopt a deployed configuration or a retracted configuration in which the seat is stored in a recess (3) in the floor (2) of the vehicle, comprising an under-frame (7) above the recess (3) and a seat cushion (6) with a backrest (5) pivotably connected thereto, whereby the seat can be moved from the deployed configuration to a shelf configuration in which the backrest is folded down against the seat cushion. According to the invention: the seat cushion (6) is connected to the under-frame (7) by a pivot joint P1 and by a releasable joint D1, whereby, when the joint is released, the seat can undergo a primary rotation the shelf configuration to a compact configuration in which the seat cushion (6) pivots towards the recess until it is substantially perpendicular to the floor of the vehicle, and the under-frame (7) is connected to the floor (2) by a pivot joint P2 and a releasable joint D2, whereby, when the joint is released, the under-frame (7) can undergo a secondary rotation towards the recess (3), thereby moving the seat from its compact configuration to its stowed configuration in which the backrest (5) is in engagement with the bottom wall of the recess, the seat cushion (6) is above the backrest (5) and the under-frame (7) is on either side of the seat cushion and backrest.

Abstract: A method for forming a joint in at least one high strength sheet steel having a UTS in the range 200 to 1400 MPa using a self-piercing rivet includes the steps of: positioning the sheet material over a die and providing a rivet having a substantially cylindrical shank and a head, the shank having a central blind bore and an annular piercing end spaced from said head. The ratio of the difference between the outside and inside diameters of the shank in the region around the bore to the outside diameter of the shank is in the range 0.47 to 0.52. The method also includes positioning a rivet over the sheet material at a position opposite the die and using a punch to set the rivet and force it into the sheet material such that it pierces the upper surface thereof and such that the shank deforms outwardly to interlock with the material but without penetration to the die side of the material.

Abstract: The embodiments relate to a sensor strip (13) and to a flexible support strip (12) for receiving the sensor strip and for fixing the strip to a surface e.g. to the back of a test person. According to the embodiments, the sensor strip (13) has a reference point (18), (for example a snap fastener connection), with which it can be fixed to a reference surface (16) of the support strip. This allows the position of the sensor strip (13) to be unambiguously defined on the support strip (12). The further extension of the sensor strip (13) lies in a pocket (23) so that it can slide, allowing the relative movement between the support strip and the sensor strip if the support strip is lengthened (represented by a dot-dash line). The entire sensor unit is thus advantageously more comfortable to wear, as the elastic support strip (12), for example, can freely follow the back movements of the test person.
