Manual and powered actuation of track assembly
A vehicle seating assembly is provided that includes a pivot bracket coupled to a vehicle floor and disposed at a front of a seat frame, a gear assembly and a locking disk assembly disposed around an axis of rotation defined by the pivot bracket, wherein the gear assembly and the locking disk assembly are configured to each alternatively move the seating assembly from a sitting position to a standing position, and a track assembly disposed on the vehicle floor and between opposing side brackets of a seat frame. The track assembly includes a cam assembly movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The vehicle seating assembly further includes a crank assembly extending between the pivot bracket and the cam assembly and configured to move the cam assembly from the locked position to the unlocked position.
MANUAL AND POWERED ACTUATION OF TRACK ASSEMBLY

The track assembly includes a cam assembly movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The vehicle seating assembly further includes a crank assembly extending between the pivot bracket and the cam assembly and configured to move the cam assembly from the locked position to the unlocked position.
VEHICLE SEAT WITH A LOCKING ELEMENT
It is provided a vehicle seat comprises a seat part having a seat part element, a basis comprising a first rail, a longitudinal adjustment device formed by at least the first rail and a second rail longitudinally adjustable with respect to one another, and a lever by means of which the seat part element is connected to the basis movably relative to the basis. It is provided that the lever has a section that is adapted to cooperate with a locking element, wherein the locking element is rotatably mounted on the basis, configured to operate a locking device of the longitudinal adjustment device to unlock the first rail with respect to the second rail, and configured to engage with a latch to restrict a movement of the first rail with respect to the second rail.
Internal Full Memory Seat Track With Interlock
A seat assembly secured to a floor in an automotive vehicle has a seat cushion, a seat back, a seat track assembly, a latch mechanism, a memory mechanism, and an interlock assembly. The seat back is operatively coupled to the seat cushion, and is movable between an upright position and a folded position. The seat track assembly includes a fixed track adapted to be fixedly secured to the floor and a movable track fixedly secured to the seat cushion. The movable track is slidably coupled to the fixed track. The latch mechanism is operatively coupled between the fixed and movable tracks. The latch mechanism prevents sliding movement of the movable track, and is (17) selectively unlocked from the fixed track to allow sliding movement of the seat cushion between a plurality of positions. The memory mechanism is operable between a home position and a memory position. In the home position, the memory mechanism is coupled and moves with the movable track. In the memory position, the memory mechanism is coupled with the fixed track and defines a previously selected one of the plurality of positions. The interlock assembly comprises a hook lever, an interlock lever, and a cable. The hook lever is pivotally connected to the seat cushion. The interlock lever is pivotally coupled to the movable track for movement between a disengaged position and an engaged position. The cable is operatively coupled between the hook lever and the interlock lever, and is configured for moving the hook lever into and out of engagement with the seat back. Moving the seat back to the folded position actuates the memory mechanism to the memory position, which unlocks the latch mechanism from the fixed track to allow sliding movement of the seat cushion in a first direction away from the previously selected one of the plurality of positions to the easy-entry position. Actuation of the memory mechanism to the memory position also allows the interlock lever to rotate into the engaged position to cause the cable to move the hook lever into engagement with the seat back to maintain the seat back in the folded position.
MODULAR AND ELECTROMECHANICALLY INTEGRATED EASY-ENTRY MECHANISM
A modular and electromechanically integrated easy-entry mechanism includes an easy-entry mechanism, manufactured independently of slide rail assemblies, and mounted on upper slide rails in the slide rail assemblies by fasteners. A total travel of slide rails is divided into a comfort travel for front-rear adjustment of a passenger and an easy-entry travel for increasing an easy-entry/exit space for a passenger in the third row seating. The unlocking of the slide rails is mechanically maintained in the easy-entry travel, and the slide rails are ensured to be locked at the front-most position of the comfort travel when a seat is retracted. The easy-entry mechanism is driven manually or by electric power, and acts independently on unlocking pins in slide rail locking mechanisms to unlock the slide rail assemblies. The easy-entry mechanism is modularly designed, easy to manufacture, mount, and replace, and does not affect the existing slide rail manufacturing process. Since the easy-entry mechanism independently acts on the unlocking pins in the slide rail locking mechanisms to unlock the slide rail assemblies, an existing manual slide rail unlocking module is not affected.
Adjusting device for longitudinal adjustment of a vehicle seat, method for assembly thereof and guide piece
An adjusting device for longitudinal adjustment of a vehicle seat comprising a first rail and a second rail movably guided in a longitudinal direction relative to the first rail includes a guide piece mounted to a side-wall of the first rail, comprising a main body, a plurality of connecting devices for connecting to the first rail, and a positioning device locked in a positioning recess, for positioning the guide piece with respect to the first rail in the longitudinal direction. The connecting devices are formed as hook-like members that are inserted through the locking recesses and grip behind the side-wall to fix guide piece to the first rail. The guide piece comprises a flexible portion connected to the positioning device and the main body, which is configured to bend in a transverse direction when mounting the guide piece to the first rail and to be locked in the positioning recess.
Door garnish for vehicle
A door garnish for a vehicle includes a body part and an IMS module provided with a light source behind the body part including a transparent substrate so that light of the light source transmits the body part to be emitted to the outside, thereby displaying a certain shape of a button outside.

Vehicle seating system
A seating system for a vehicle having a seat bottom and a seat back connected to and manually rotatable relative to the seat bottom may include a manually-actuated dump-and-return arrangement for the seat back and a manually-actuated slide arrangement for the seat bottom. It may also include a motor-actuated dump-and-return arrangement for the seat back and a motor-actuated slide arrangement for the seat bottom.
ADJUSTING DEVICE FOR LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT OF A VEHICLE SEAT, METHOD FOR ASSEMBLY THEREOF AND GUIDE PIECE
