A track system for providing a movable component in a vehicle interior may comprise a track assembly comprising a track for the movable component and a base comprising a chassis for the movable component to be movable along the track. The track assembly may comprise a track cover. The chassis may move the track cover to uncover the track under the chassis. The track cover may comprise a front section, a rear section and a middle section. The front section and the rear section may cover the track. The chassis may comprise a ramp configured to raise the front section as the chassis moves in a forward direction. The middle section may extend below the front section, the rear section and the chassis. The track cover may slide along a pulley between the front section and the middle section.

A seat slider device may include: a lower rail attached to a body of a vehicle; and an upper rail attached to a seat and slidable with respect to the lower rail. The upper rail may include: a roller or a slider piece being in contact with a bottom plate of the lower rail; and a protrusion supporting the roller or the slider piece. The protrusion may be integrated with the upper rail.

A sliding device for a vehicle seat is provided. The sliding device includes a pair of parallel slideways, each of which comprises a lower rail, an upper rail slidably mounted to the lower rail and a latch for allowing/preventing a movement of the upper rail relative to the lower rail. A releasing member is provided for driving the latches to a position in which the upper rails are free to move relative to the lower rails. Each latch has a rear portion which is bent into a “U”-like shape and comprises a lower leg carrying latching elements configured to cooperate with corresponding latching elements provided in the lower rail and an upper leg configured to engage the releasing member. The design of the latches improves the reliability of the sliding device.

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side powersports vehicle having a utility bed recessed in the rear body portion below an upper surface, the utility bed forming a stepped portion relative to the rear body portion and having a maximum lateral width greater than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, and a minimum width less than a diameter of at least one of the wheels, whereby a spare wheel may be stored on the stepped portion of the utility bed. As shown herein, the utility bed is defined as a removable tub, which can be removed from the rear body portion. The utility bed has defined troughs in a floor thereof angled rearwardly wherein the utility bed has drains which drain away from any heat source of the vehicle. The seats of the vehicle allow longitudinal movement and tilt capability.

A seat lifter includes: an inner link for changing a height position of an inner lower arm with respect to a floor of a vehicle; an outer link for changing a height position of an outer lower arm with respect to the floor, a coupling rod that couples the inner link to the outer link; a planetary gear mechanism capable of causing the coupling rod to rotate relative to the inner lower arm and the outer lower arm; a drive unit capable of driving the planetary gear mechanism; and a power transmission rod that transmits power of the drive unit to the planetary gear mechanism. One of the planetary gear mechanism and the drive unit is disposed outside the outer lower arm in the width direction. The other of the planetary gear mechanism and the drive unit is disposed outside the inner lower arm in the width direction.

A seat for a vehicle includes a seat cushion and an adjustment and suspension device having a base fixed to the frame and a supporting plate fixed to the seat cushion movable in translation relative to the base in a direction of elevation. The seat also has a restraint system that includes: at least one restraint member fixed to the frame, the restraint member defining at least one through opening extending along a main direction of elongation substantially parallel to the direction of elevation; and at least one restraint element fixed to the supporting plate, the through opening of the restraint member receiving the restraint element free in translation along the main direction of elongation.

A seat sliding structure for a vehicle includes: a pair of left and right slide rails that include upper rails, which are attached to a lower portion of a vehicle seat, and lower rails, which support the upper rails such that the upper rails can slide in a vehicle longitudinal direction; rail guiding members that are fixed to a floor panel, and that support the lower rails such that the lower rails can slide in the vehicle longitudinal direction between a driving position at a vehicle front side and a relaxation position at a vehicle rear side; and a locking mechanism that locks movement of the slide rails at the relaxation position, and that releases a locked state when a frontal collision of the vehicle is detected or predicted.

A rail system includes a lower rail and an upper rail guided therein where the upper rail is adjustable in relation to the lower rail via a longitudinal adjustment device, the longitudinal adjustment device comprising a threaded spindle attached inside the lower rail and a spindle nut screwed onto the threaded spindle which is firmly affixed to the upper rail via a transmission housing so that the upper rail can be displaced in the longitudinal direction by motorised actuation of the longitudinal adjustment device, the threaded spindle being covered, at least in certain regions, in the lower rail by a deformable protective element which comprises longitudinal edges extending in the longitudinal direction.

A novel power slide with a motor directly connected to a lead screw includes a left slide and a right slide each including a top rail, a bottom rail, a power motor, a lead screw, a threaded assembly and a retainer ring. A first slot and a second slot are formed in two ends of the top rail, respectively. The power motor is fixed to a lower surface of the top rail through a motor bracket. The lead screw has an end connected to the power motor and another end rotatably fixed to the lower surface of the top rail. A bottom portion of the threaded assembly is fixedly connected to an upper surface of the bottom rail, and the lead screw horizontally penetrates through the threaded assembly and is in threaded fit with the threaded assembly. The retainer ring is located in the first slot, and a gap is formed between the retainer ring and the first slot.

A translation assembly for a vehicle includes a rail assembly that defines a first channel, a second channel, and a central member that extends between the first and second channels. A carriage assembly couples to the rail assembly. The carriage assembly is movable relative to the rail assembly. The carriage assembly includes a first rail engagement structure that extends into the rail assembly and is received within the first channel; a second rail engagement structure that extends into the rail assembly and is received within the second channel; and a carriage housing that is coupled to the first and second rail engagement structures. The carriage housing extends between the first and second rail engagement structures. The carriages assembly also includes one or more drive assemblies that engage with a top surface of the central member of the rail assembly.
