Abstract: A vehicle seat rotates in response to activation of an electric motor. The electric motor is part of a non-back-drivable mechanism such that it acts to lock the seat in position. The seat mechanism is assembled from stamped components for efficient manufacturing. A bracket includes integrally formed gear teeth which mesh with gear teeth driven by the electric motor. The bracket is held between two stamped parts using four-point angular contact ball bearings. The races of the ball bearings are stamped into the respective stamped parts.

Abstract: A rotary park lock mechanism includes a flange, a first spring, and a gear. The flange has a park pawl arranged to selectively engage a mating tooth in a transmission gear, and a locking bar pocket. The first spring is arranged to rotate the flange in a first rotational direction to engage the park pawl with the mating tooth. The gear is arranged receive a motor torque to rotate the flange in a second rotational direction, opposite the first direction, to disengage the park pawl from the mating tooth. In an example embodiment, the first spring is a clock spring. In an example embodiment, the gear is a cycloidal drive.
