ELECTRIFICATION SYSTEM FOR REMOVABLE VEHICLE SEATS

摘要

An electrification system (10) for removable vehicle seats (12), includes electrical contacts located on the vehicle (58) and electrical contacts located on the removable seat (60). Coupling members (24, 36) are provided for selectively installing the seat to the vehicle and for removing the seat to provide additional cargo space. In this embodiment, the electrical contacts (58) on the vehicle are provided in the wells (36) into which the seat coupling components (24, 36) fit and the contacts (60) on the seat are located near the seat coupling members. The seat is hooked over rods within the well and rotated to its installed position. In such position, the seat is powered. There is no need to plug and unplug connectors.
