Abstract: A seat includes a pivotable mount and a release member movable between a normal position wherein a locking device is in a locked position and a release position wherein the locking device is in an unlocked position. A bypass link moves the release member to the release position when a seat back pivots to a fully folded position and a movable track is in a predetermined release position so that the movable track moves to a predetermined memory position. When the movable track is in the predetermined memory position, the bypass link moves independently of the release so that the bypass link enters a bypass position, and the release member is in the normal position, when the seat back is in the fully folded position. Thus, the fully folded and locked seat can be flipped to a stowed position.

Abstract translation: 座椅包括可枢转安装件和释放构件，其可在锁定装置处于锁定位置的正常位置和锁定装置处于解锁位置的释放位置之间移动。 当座椅靠背枢转到完全折叠位置并且可移动轨道处于预定的释放位置时，旁路连杆将释放构件移动到释放位置，使得可移动轨道移动到预定的存储位置。 当可移动轨道处于预定的存储位置时，旁路管路不依赖于释放状态而移动，使得当座椅靠背处于完全折叠位置时，旁路管路进入旁路位置，并且释放构件处于正常位置。 因此，完全折叠和锁定的座椅可以翻转到收起位置。

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle seating arrangement having a number of seats. The seats are arranged so that they can be moved between different mutual positions along at least two parallel rails that extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in the vehicle floor. Each of the seats have a backrest part and a seat part, and are slidably attached to the rails by means of coupling members. The seats can be locked by way of the coupling members in a number of positions along the rails. The seat part of the seats is pivotably mounted in relation to the backrest part in such a way that it can assume a first, folded-down position and a second position wherein it is folded up against the backrest part. At least one rail extends essentially in the transverse direction of the vehicle. This transverse rail connects the rails extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to each other in such a way that the seats can be moved, via the transverse rail, from engagement with one longitudinally extending rail to another.

Abstract: A linkage assembly is used to vertically adjust the position of a seat. The linkage assembly includes a first link that is connected to a second link without the use of fasteners. The first link has a first mounting portion and the second link has a second mounting portion. The first mounting portion is deformed into engagement with the second mounting portion to rotatably connect the first link to the second link. In one embodiment, the first mounting portion is an extrusion that extends through an aperture in the second link. An end of the extrusion is deformed into engagement with the second link to form a lip to lock the first link to the second link and allow relative rotational movement between the first and second links while eliminating relative linear movement therebetween. In an alternative embodiment, portions of the first and second links are deformed into locking engagement.

Abstract: Apparatus for adjusting the spatial relationship between the bottom and the bade of a chair which may be subjected to seven mechanical stress, as in the case of a vehicle crash, the seat and the back being operatively connected respectively to two oppositely threaded portions of a rotatable shaft which is adapted to be routed in one direction or the other to produce the desired change in spatial relationship, the arrangement providing the combination of exceptional strength in the event of a crash and reduced cost. The operative connection between the chair parts and the shaft includes two non-rotatable parts engaged respectively with the oppositely threaded shaft portions so as to move in and out with respect to the shaft as the latter is rotated, and a housing which permits those parts to thus move while preventing their motion.

Abstract: A pivot assembly for a structured vehicle seat assembly accommodates loads applied to the seatback through a safety belt restraint system carried by the seat assembly. The pivot assembly includes a connector member including an upper portion extending into a hollow channel defined by the seatback frame. The connector member is fixedly attached thereto. The pivot assembly further includes a housing attached to a lower seat structure for movement therewith between fore and aft positions. The connector member is pivotally mounted to the housing to thereby permit the seatback to rotate relative to the lower seat structure between a generally upright position and a reclined position. The pivot assembly further preferably includes a drive arrangement for rotating the connector member about a pivot axis. The pivot assembly functions to efficiently and effectively transfer loads from the seatback to the lower seat structure, and in turn, to the vehicle structure. Advantageously, the safety belt restraint system is adapted to move with the seat assembly.
