The Braun Corporation

A passenger vehicle is provided with a configurable interior designed to transport both ambulatory and wheelchaired passengers. The vehicle features easily removable and installable driver and front passenger seats, as well as a console that can be positioned between the seats or removed and stored, all without the use of tools. The configuration allows for the rapid transformation of the vehicle’s interior to accommodate a wheelchaired passenger by removing the seats and console and securing the wheelchair in their place with a wheelchair securement system. This versatile design ensures accessibility and convenience for various passenger needs.

A motor vehicle includes a ramp, a sliding door that when open allows the ramp to be deployed from the vehicle, and an anti-rattle device to prevent or reduce rattling of the ramp against the door or other components of the vehicle when the ramp is in a stowed position. The anti-rattle device includes an arm pivotable relative to the door and a roller rotatably coupled to the arm, spaced apart from the door, and configured to contact the ramp.

A track fitting is provided for securing items to a track in a vehicle. The track fitting may be comprised of multiple pieces that can be independently inserted top-down into the track at any location along the length of the track. The item can then be bolted into the track fitting. The track fitting, in some embodiments, is not dependent upon scalloped track for securement. In other embodiments, the track fitting includes a locking member that creates interference between the track fitting and the scallops to prevent the track fitting from sliding longitudinally in the track.

An overtravel hinge for a sliding door of a vehicle. The overtravel hinge expands from a collapsed condition, to a partially deployed condition, and to a fully deployed condition. The hinge includes a four bar linkage utilizing an arm to control movement of the overtravel hinge between the collapsed condition and the fully deployed condition. The overtravel hinge, in one embodiment, is used to modify or retrofit a known original equipment manufacturer vehicle.
