A vehicle seat sliding apparatus includes a lower rail, an upper rail, a slide-lock mechanism that pivots the lock member to a slide-lock position and holds the upper rail in a slide-lock state, and a slide-lock cancellation unit moved by operation of an operation member in a longitudinal direction of the upper rail to cancel an action of the slide-lock mechanism. The slide-lock cancellation unit includes a drive unit and an inclined surface arranged in the drive unit. The drive unit is supported by the upper rail so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the upper rail. Operation of the operation member slides the drive unit. The inclined surface pivots the lock member to a slide-lock cancellation position when sliding.

A vehicle seat includes a seat bottom and a seat back coupled to the seat bottom to extend upwardly away from the seat bottom. The vehicle seat further includes a seat-bottom foundation arranged to interconnect the seat bottom and seat back to translate back and forth relative to a vehicle floor.

A vehicle seat includes a seat base, a backrest and a track arrangement with a fixed track part and a moveable track part and with a lockable range to lock the seat and the moveable track part relative to the a fixed track part. A lockout mechanism locks the backrest in a forward position with the seat base in a non-lockable track range. The lockout mechanism includes a lockout catch member connected to the backrest and a lockout hook connected to the seat base, which is pivotable between a locked position, with the lockout hook engaging the lockout catch member, and an unlocked position. A blocker member is connected to the seat base and is pivotable between a blocking position, with the blocker engaging the lockout hook to maintain the lockout hook in the locked position and an open position, with the blocker not engaging the lockout hook.

A vehicle seat includes a seat bottom adapted to slide along a floor, a seat back coupled to the seat bottom, and powered means for rearranging the vehicle seat by sliding the seat bottom along the floor and/or pivoting the seat back relative to the seat bottom.

A vehicle slide rail device including: a memory mechanism which includes a memory member configured to define a default seat position by engagement; a release operation mechanism which is configured to release a lock mechanism from a locked state and slide together with the memory member in a slide direction by removing the memory member from a state of defining the default seat position; a memory operation mechanism which is configured to release the lock mechanism from the locked state while leaving the memory member in the state of defining the default seat position; a cancel mechanism which is pressed against the memory member to cancel the releasing of the lock mechanism by the memory operation mechanism and return the lock mechanism to the locked state when the seat position is returned to the default seat position defined while an operated state of a memory operation member is maintained.

A vehicle slide rail device including a memory member defining a default seat position wherein, before operation of a release operation mechanism, the release operation mechanism is inserted into a concave portion formed in the memory member and recessed in a direction substantially perpendicular to a sliding direction and the release operation mechanism is in an engagement state of being engaged integrally with the memory member in the sliding direction, wherein, when the release operation mechanism is operated, the release operation mechanism pushes the concave portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction and removes the memory member from a state of defining the default seat position, and wherein, when a memory operation mechanism is operated, the memory operation mechanism removes the release operation mechanism from an inside of the concave portion and releases the release operation mechanism from the engagement state with the memory member.

A vehicle seat comprising at least one first and one second adjustment part and a latching device is provided. The first adjustment part is formed by a backrest of the vehicle seat and the second adjustment part is formed by a seat part of the vehicle seat. The first adjustment part is lockable in a first adjustment region in a plurality of adjustment positions relative to the second adjustment part by means of the latching device, and is adjustable relative to the second adjustment part when the latching device is in a release position, for setting the backrest in its inclination with respect to the seat part. The first adjustment part is adjustable from the first adjustment region into a second adjustment region in which the backrest is folded forward in the direction of the seat part or even onto the seat part.

A vehicle slide rail device including a release operation member which is configured to release a lock mechanism and slide together with a memory member by removing the memory member from a state of defining a default position, wherein a second operating body of the release operation member removes the memory member from the state of defining the default position before a first operating body of the release operation member releases the lock mechanism as the release operation member is operated, and thereafter, the first operating body moves relatively to the second operating body, which is left in a state of removing the memory member from the state of defining the default position, until the first operating body releases the lock mechanism, and wherein an amount of relative movement between the first operating body and the second operating body is elastically absorbed.

A vehicle slide rail device including a release operation member which is configured to release a lock mechanism and slide together with a memory member in a slide direction by removing the memory member from a state of defining a default position; and a memory operation member which is configured to release the lock mechanism and maintain the released state while maintaining the memory member in the state of defining the default position, wherein the memory member has a receiving structure configured by an elastic structure by which the memory member is normally biased so as to maintain the state of defining the default position, and the memory member is pushed and tilted against the biasing by the movement of the release operation member, which is in an operated state, toward a predetermined operation position so that the release operation member is received into the predetermined operation position.

A vehicle slide rail device including a memory operation link which is configured to release a lock mechanism while leaving a memory member in a state of defining a default position, a holding link which is configured to, in response to an operation of the memory operation link, be engaged with the memory operation link by being biased and hold the memory operation link in a release operated position, a detection member which is configured to come into contact with a trigger member installed and be moved so as to release the holding state of the memory operation link at the release operated position, and a variable structure which is engaged with the pressing portion of the holding link and is configured to change a position where the pressing portion is arranged in the holding link according to a movement of the memory operation link.
