An accessory mounting system is easily coupled to an inner portion of a pick-up bed, thus allowing a user to easily mount and hold equipment. The mounting system includes a number of panels which can be mounted to existing structures within the pick-up box, and which have a pattern of openings to accommodate straps, brackets, tie-downs, and other holding mechanisms.

A recliner heart includes a housing member, a locking plate and a pawl. The housing member includes a plate surface having a first recess and a second recess. The locking plate includes a surface having teeth formed thereon. The pawl is movable in the first recess between a secure position in which the pawl is engaged with the teeth of the locking plate and a release position in which the pawl is disengaged from the teeth of the locking plate. The pawl includes a boss slidably received in the second recess. A first lateral side of the boss abuts against a sidewall of the second recess upon an impact event.

Provided is a vehicle seat capable of easily maintaining the appearance. A bezel of the vehicle seat is abutted on a body fixing member so that the shift of the bezel in the direction in which the bezel is separated from an exposing section of a body is restricted by the body fixing member.

A fold and dive seat for a vehicle that achieves a fatigue reduction posture is provided. The seat includes a tip up-extension mechanism that enables tipping-up and extension of the front end of a seat cushion and a seatback reclining mechanism for the fold and dive seat so that tipping-up for lifting the front end of the seat cushion and extension for extending the front end forward are performed simultaneously performed when the seatback reclining is performed.

A seat lock device includes: a hook member; and a cam plate. The hook member includes: a hook inclined edge surface and is rotationally biased by contact with a striker entering; an engaging groove into which the striker entering fits after crossing the hook inclined edge surface to bring the hook member into a locked position; a restraining pin; and an interlock pin, the cam plate is set to a limiting position when the hook member engages with the striker and is switched to an allowing position when the striker enters and when an operation performed to release an engagement of the striker, and the cam plate includes: a cam surface that contacts with the restraining pin to rotationally bias the hook member; and an interlock surface with which the interlock pin contacts when the hook member has turned from the locked position.

An operation device (1) includes first bases (81A, 81B) and/or second bases (72A, 72B) that are elastically deformable in the direction of a pivot axis (X1) so that a shaft (120) can be inserted into a shaft hole (110). A first protrusion (121) is formed on a distal end portion of the shaft and projects radially outward from an outer sliding surface (120E). The first bases (81A, 81B) include a first escape section (111) recessed radially outward from an inner sliding surface (110E). The first escape section allows the first protrusion to pass through the first base when the shaft is being inserted into the shaft hole with an operation member (80) located in an initial position. A first slip-off preventing section (113) circumferentially adjacent to the first escape section prevents the shaft from coming out of the shaft hole when the operation member is pivoted from the initial position to an end position.

A motor vehicle latch, in particular, a backrest latch on a motor vehicle seat. This latch is fitted with a locking mechanism consisting essentially of a catch, of a comfort pawl that secures the catch, as well as a pawl that acts on the comfort pawl. The pawl and the catch are resiliently coupled with the aid of at least one spring. The pawl is fitted with a securing arm and an actuating arm spaced apart from the securing arm over a predefined rotation angle, in each case for the comfort pawl.

A striker applied to a vehicle seat includes an engagement pin having a bar shape and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes: a covering portion that covers a part of a lateral surface of the engagement pin from outside and to which one end portion of the engagement pin along a longitudinal axis of the engagement pin is fixed; and a mounting portion that is mounted to a vehicle seat or a vehicle. When directions perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the engagement pin are regarded as first directions and directions approximately corresponding to seat front-rear directions are regarded as second directions in a state where the mounting portion is mounted, the covering portion is provided with a first load receiving portion that is approximately perpendicular to the first directions and a second load receiving portion that is approximately perpendicular to the second directions.

A fold and dive seat for a vehicle that achieves a fatigue reduction posture is provided. The seat includes a tip up-extension mechanism that enable stipping-up and extension of the front end of a seat cushion and a seatback reclining mechanism for the fold and dive seat so that tipping-up for lifting the front end of the seat cushion and extension for extending the front end forward are performed simultaneously performed when the seatback reclining is performed.
