The rolling body cage (9) is coupled to the lower rail (3) via the rolling bodies (11). The upper rail (5) is mounted movably on the sliding block (7) along the longitudinal axis (13) of the lower rail (3) and is coupled to the rolling body cage (9).

LINEAR MOTION ASSEMBLIES AND BEARINGS FOR USE IN LINEAR MOTION ASSEMBLIES

A seat track assembly including a first rail and a second rail spaced apart by a distance and extending parallel with respect to one another, wherein at least one of the first and second rails having a first receiver, a second receiver, the first and second receivers longitudinally translatable with respect to each other, and a sliding member disposed therebetween, wherein the sliding member defines an aperture extending at least partially therethrough.

Overslam bumper for vehicle door latch

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.

Vertically adjustable head restraint

A head restraint assembly includes a base portion including a first post portion extending in a vertical direction. The assembly also includes a head restraint operatively coupled to the base portion. The assembly further includes a lock slide manually moveable between a locked condition and an unlocked condition, the locked condition disposing a portion of the lock slide within one of a plurality of recesses of the first post portion, the unlocked condition defined by removal of the lock slide from the plurality of recesses to allow adjustment of the head restraint in the vertical direction.

SEAT SLIDE STRUCTURE

A seat slide structure includes a cushion frame, a slide rail including lower and upper rails, a movement mechanism, and a lock mechanism. The movement mechanism slides the cushion frame along a length direction of the slide rail. The lock mechanism includes a lock body engaging with the slide rail, and places or lifts a restriction on movement of the slide rail. The movement mechanism includes a lead screw, a gear part, and a shake absorber. The lead screw is provided in parallel with the slide rail, and is supported by the upper rail. The gear part transmits power from a power source to the lead screw to slide the lead screw and the upper rail along the lower rail. The shake absorber allows the cushion frame and the lead screw to move relative to one another in a moving direction of the upper rail along the lower rail.

Vehicle seat

A vehicle seat comprises a seat part including a seat cushion pan 1 for a seat occupant, two side parts between which a cross tube 6 extends along a pivot axis, and seat part mounting brackets 7 for connecting the seat cushion pan 1 and the cross tube 6. The cross tube 6 has a clearance opening 61 within the range of at least one of the seat part mounting brackets 7 and a local bead 62 opposite from the clearance opening 61. The local bead 62 engages an indentation or slot 72 within the surface of the seat part mounting bracket 7 facing the cross tube 6 for limiting a lateral movement of the seat cushion pan 1.

Track assembly

A track assembly includes a track, a support member, and/or a lever. The support member may be connected to the track, and/or the lever may be connected to the support member. The lever may include a rotational axis substantially parallel to the track. The lever may rotate about the rotational axis between a first position and a second position. The lever may limit movement of the support member relative to the track in a first direction, and/or the lever may not limit movement of the support member relative to the track in a second direction. The lever may be configured to contact the track. The track may include a window having a first edge and/or a second edge.
