SEAT TRACK SUPPORT DAMPER
A vehicle seat is disposed on a floor portion of a passenger compartment, and includes first and second upper seat tracks, and a seat bottom disposed thereon. First and second lower seat tracks are each disposed longitudinally in the vehicle and secured to the floor portion at respective fore and aft attachment locations, wherein each of the first and second upper seat tracks is slidably disposed in a respective one of the first and second lower seat tracks. A support damper is disposed between the floor portion and one of the first and second lower seat tracks and disposed between the respective fore and aft attachment locations. The support damper is disposed at a longitudinal position between the respective fore and aft attachment locations at a maximum vertical deflection point of the respective one of the first and second lower seat tracks relative to the floor portion.
System comprising a slide track for motor vehicle seat and a support intended for attachment thereto
System comprising a slide track for motor vehicle seat and a support. The slide track comprises a fixed rail and a movable rail which has an inner surface, an outer surface, and a through-window. The support comprises a body having a contact surface attached to the outer surface of the movable rail, and a tongue extending from the body to pass through the window of the movable rail and be attached to the inner surface of the movable rail. The tongue has a maximum extension into the hollow interior space E that is less than or equal to a thickness of the tongue.
Seat sliding device
Provided is a seat sliding device. The seat sliding device comprises a fixed-side rail, a movable-side rail, a lock portion, a first elastically deforming portion, a second elastically deforming portion, a releasing member, and a protruding piece. The movable-side rail comprises an open-sectional portion including two side walls and a lid wall that couples the two side walls to each other. The lock portion is displaceable between a restraint position and a release position. The releasing member is engaged with the first elastically deforming portion. The protruding piece comprises an engaged portion with which the second elastically deforming portion engages.
AUTOMOTIVE HYDROGEN STORAGE TANK SUPPORT SYSTEM
An automotive hydrogen storage tank support system for a vehicle includes: a floor; a pair of side sills mounted on lateral edges of the floor, respectively; and a support frame mounted on the floor and supporting a hydrogen storage tank The support frame includes a pair of longitudinal members, and a plurality of transverse members connecting the pair of longitudinal members to each other, at least one transverse member among the plurality of transverse members has a pair of extension portions respectively extending from opposite ends thereof toward the pair of side sills, and each extension portion is joined to a corresponding side sill of the pair of side sills.
Vehicle seat slide mechanism
A vehicle seat slide mechanism via which a seat assembly is slidably mounted on a vehicle floor is provided with: a lower rail that is mounted on the vehicle floor; an upper rail which is slidably attached on the lower rail and on which the seat assembly is attached; a lock mechanism that locks the upper rail on the lower rail in a releasable manner; and a gap reduction member that is provided between a first face formed at the lower rail and facing in a substantially vertical direction and a second face formed at the upper rail and facing to the first face.
Power Supply Connection For Power Long Rail Assembly
A long rail assembly for use in a vehicle includes a fixed rail, a movable rail, a power strip, a latch power connector, and a channel power connector. The fixed rail extends longitudinally along a floor of the vehicle. The movable rail is slidably coupled to the fixed rail. The power strip is coupled to the fixed rail. The latch power connector is removably coupled to the movable rail. The channel power connector is fixedly coupled to the movable rail and is in constant sliding contact with the power strip. When the latch power connector is coupled to the movable rail, the latch power connector frictionally engages the channel power connector thereby generating an electrical bridge between the power strip and the latch power connector to provide power to the long rail assembly.
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.
SENSOR SYSTEM FOR DETECTING THE ADJUSTMENT POSITION OF A VEHICLE SEAT
A sensor system for detecting an adjustment position of a vehicle seat, the sensor system having a Hall sensor and a first preloaded magnet, and it is free of flux concentrators and shielding sheets. The Hall sensor and the first preloaded magnet are arranged along a longitudinal extension of the upper rail that is movable lengthwise such that during adjustment of the upper rail, passage of a free longitudinal end of the stationary lower rail will be monitored and result in a change of an output signal of the Hall sensor.
Wire harness routing device and slide wiring device
A wire harness routing device 11 includes a wire harness 15, a case 16 in which the wire harness 15 is accommodated and which has an opening 30 through which the wire harness 15 can be led out of or into the case, a protector 21 attached to the wire harness 15 that is led out through the opening 30, and an engagement means 22 configured to disengageably engage the case 16 and the protector 21 with each other.
Sliding device for a vehicle seat provided with an improved locking arrangement
The present invention relates to a sliding device for a vehicle seat provided with an improved locking arrangement. Said locking arrangement comprises a pair of locking assemblies (101a, 101b; 201a, 201b), one for each track of the sliding device, each including a plurality of locking pins (105a, 105b; 203a, 203b) suitable for locking the upper rails of the tracks to the respective lower rails. Said locking arrangement further includes a releasing assembly for driving said locking pins to an unlocking configuration for adjusting the position of the vehicle seat. According to the invention, for any selected positions of the vehicle seat, all the locking pins (105a, 105b; 203a, 203b) of the locking assemblies simultaneously or quasi-simultaneously penetrate into corresponding apertures of the lower rails. Therefore, the invention advantageously allows to optimize the locking effect of the locking arrangement, as all the locking pins give their contribution to said locking effect.
