An assembly including an inner component; an outer component; a tolerance ring, comprising an annular band and a plurality of projections projecting radially from the annular band, the tolerance ring being disposed between the inner component and the outer component; and a low friction layer provided radially inside or radially outside the annular band so as to enable sliding movement in an axial direction between the inner component and the outer component, wherein at least one of the inner component or outer component is profiled to transmit a radial load between the inner component and the outer component to appreciably prevent collapse of the projections.

A closure panel latch assembly can include an overslam bumper mechanism comprising a biasing element as a spring formed from a metallic material positioned relative to a slot of the latch assembly. The biasing element resists entry of a striker into the slot beyond a selected position in order to inhibit contact of the striker with a bottom end of the slot. Also provided is a closure panel latch assembly configured with the biasing element as a resilient element positioned relative to the slot of the latch assembly; The biasing element is coupled to the striker engagement member, such that the striker engagement member is positioned to engage the striker and resist travel of the striker towards the bottom end, wherein the biasing element controls the resistance to movement of the striker engagement member by the striker.

A seat track mechanism for installing beneath a vehicle seat in order to move the vehicle seat in the forward and backward directions includes a monotrack mechanism, to which a monopost structure and a single rail structure are applied. The seat track mechanism includes a structure for hook-engaging lower and upper rails constituting the mono track mechanism by hook guides. The single rail structure applied to the seat track mechanism is capable of not only reducing actuating force required for operation, but also preventing creation of excessive clearance upon stopping.

The invention relates to a motor-vehicle accessory, comprising a moveable first part and a vehicle-fixed second part, wherein the first part is guided on the second part by a guide (43), wherein the guide (43) comprises at least one rack (22a, 22b, 24a, 24b) in engagement with a gear (21a, 21b, 23a, 23b), wherein the rack (22a, 22b, 24a, 24b) is on one of the parts, and the gear (21a, 21b, 23a, 23b) is on the other part.

The particular feature consists in that the guide additionally comprises a tolerance compensation that comprises at least one running rail (26a, 26b, 28a, 28b) on one of the parts and engages a running wheel (25a, 25b, 27a, 27b) on the other one of the parts, wherein the running wheel (25a, 25b, 27a, 27b) and/or the running rail (26a, 26b, 28a, 28b) is elastically deformable, and a press-fit is formed between the running rail and the running wheel, so that the meshing teeth of the first part and of the second part are urged into a defined position.

A seat adjuster includes a first fastener, a second fastener, a third fastener, and/or a motor assembly. The motor assembly may include a motor, a first mounting portion, a second mounting portion, and/or a third mounting portion. The seat adjuster may include a pinion, a sector, and/or a side member. The first fastener, the second fastener, and/or the third fastener may connect the motor assembly to the side member. The first fastener may be connected to the side member and/or the first mounting portion via a torque prevailing connection. The third fastener may extend through and/or may restrict movement of the sector. The pinion may be engaged with the sector substantially without play. The side member may include a first aperture, a second aperture, and/or a third aperture.

A vehicle seat is provided that can reduce a runout that occurs in a seat back frame. A seat back frame includes an upper frame part (301), a lower frame part (302), a first side frame part (303), and a second side frame part (301), which are formed as separate components and are joined to each other. The lower frame part (302) is provided in such a manner that a rotational axis (3A) is located on the inner side of the lower frame part (302). The seat back is rotated with respect to the seat cushion about the rotational axis (3A). One end portion in the width direction of the lower panel (305) is joined to the first side frame part (303). The other end portion in the width direction is joined to a second side frame part (304). A lower edge (305B) is joined to the lower frame part (302).

A device and a method for attaching a backrest cover to a vehicle seat. Provision is made that at least one latching element with which the backrest cover is attached to the vehicle seat in an assembly step is mounted in a floating manner on the backrest cover.
