Abstract

A vehicle seat comprises a seat bottom 12 suspended by supporting webs 16 engaged with rotary permanent deformation energy absorbers 20 attached to an overhead anchorage 22 of the vehicle. Beneath the seat bottom, pairs of extensible and compressible permanent deformation energy absorbers 48, 50 are attached between the seat bottom and the floor of the vehicle. In the event of a crash, the rotary energy absorbers 20 and the extensible and compressible energy absorbers 48, 50 are arrayed to permit controlled and energy absorbing movement to reduce the probability of injury to the occupant of the seat. In one form of the seat it accommodates itself to fore and aft forces acting upon it. In further forms of the seat the design is arranged for a sideward or lateral facing seat and the seat accommodates itself to lateral forces. <IMAGE>
