A seat slide device includes a reinforcing member attached to a rear end part of an upper rail. The reinforcing member is higher in rigidity than the upper rail. The reinforcing member 7 includes: a reinforcing member body having a U-shaped cross section having a lower opening, and including: a reinforcing member top wall; and a pair of reinforcing member lateral walls; and a pair of reinforcing member bent wall parts each being bent outwardly from a lower end of a corresponding one of the reinforcing member lateral walls in a lateral direction of the reinforcing member, and extending upwardly between a corresponding lower rail outside lateral wall and a corresponding lower rail inside lateral wall.

A seat slide mechanism (15) includes: a lower rail (16) fixed to a floor pan (1) constituting a part of a vehicle body of a vehicle and extending in front-rear directions of the vehicle; a slider (17) slidable in the lower rail (16) and allowing a seat (10) to be mounted thereabove; and a slide-allowing member (30) arranged between the lower rail (16) and the slider (17) and enabling sliding of the slider (17) along the lower rail (16). The slide-allowing member (30) has a spring constant set to be smaller than a spring constant of the lower rail (16) or a spring constant of the slider (17).

An apparatus for mounting a seat in a vehicle having a floor and a side wall comprises a track having a groove disposed on the floor. A stud including a base and a shank, the base being configured to be inserted into the groove, is disposed within the groove. A flange having a lip is disposed on the side wall. At least one lip aperture is formed on the lip. A support, including a base, is disposed on one end of the seat. A base aperture is disposed on the base. A lip fastener is accepted by the at least one lip aperture to connect an end of the seat opposite to the base to the lip on the flange. The base aperture accepts the shank included on the stud.

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.

A track assembly is provided that includes a track operably coupled with a floor pan. A rail cartridge is slidably coupled with the track. The rail cartridge includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion defines a receiving well. A connection cartridge is operably coupled with a seat base. The connection cartridge includes an interface member and defines a slot. The upper portion of the rail cartridge is received within the slot. The interface member is received within the receiving well of the rail cartridge. A latch mechanism includes a release lever and a tab. The release lever is configured to selectively lower the tab to open the receiving well of the rail cartridge.

A vehicle seat console has at least one vehicle-mounted guiding element, at least one seat-mounted guiding element that runs parallel to the vehicle-mounted guiding element, and a longitudinal adjustment mechanism on which a driving device acts via a transmission mechanism and which is designed to cause a relative adjustment between the vehicle-mounted guiding element and the seat-mounted guiding element. The vehicle seat console is characterized in that the longitudinal adjustment mechanism and/or the transmission mechanism is/are equipped with at least one energy absorption device which is configured to dampen abrupt relative movements between the vehicle-mounted guiding element and the seat-mounted guiding element.

A system comprising a vehicle seat track, in particular automotive vehicle, and a support, where the track comprises a fixed profile intended to be added onto the chassis of the vehicle and a mobile profile configured for sliding relative to the fixed profile. The support comprises an engaging part forming a hook, where the engaging part is configured for engaging with the mobile profile in case of impact of the vehicle.

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.
