The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a mechanism (100) for attenuating impact energy of a seating structure (200) of a vehicle during a collision of the vehicle. The mechanism (100) includes a cushion pan (10) assembled on a seat frame (20) of the vehicle. The cushion pan (10) is defined by a first section (15), a second section (16) and an inclined section (17) connecting the first section and the second section.
