A power long rail assembly is attached to a vehicle floor for repositioning vehicle seats in a vehicle between a plurality of seating positions. The power long rail assembly includes a fixed long rail and a power rail drive assembly configured to travel along the fixed long rail. The power rail drive assembly has an upper channel having a driving wheel configured to frictionally and/or meshingly engage with the fixed rail, a fore/aft motor operatively coupled to the driving wheel, a latch assembly for locking the upper channel to the fixed long rail, and a latch release mechanism having a latch motor operatively coupled to a release plunger for automatically unlocking the latch assembly from the fixed long rail, and a fore/aft button operatively coupled to the fore/aft motor and to the latch motor to selectively activate the fore/aft motor and the latch motor.

A seat adjuster may include an end stop bracket and an easy entry lever. An easy entry lever may be configured to rotate between a first position in which the easy entry lever engages the end stop bracket and prevents movement of a seat from a comfort range into an easy entry range, and a second position in which the easy entry lever does not prevent movement of the seat from the comfort range into the easy entry range. A cross member may be connected via one or more cables to one or more comfort lever activators.

A track adjuster may include a cross member, an end stop bracket, an adjustable end stop lever, and/or a connection member that may be configured to actuate the adjustable end stop lever. The adjustable end stop lever may be configured to rotate between a first position in which the adjustable end stop lever engages the end stop bracket and prevents movement of a seat from a comfort range into an easy entry range, and a second position in which the adjustable end stop does not prevent movement of the seat from the comfort range into the easy entry range. The cross member may be configured for rotating independently of the adjustable end stop lever.

Disclosed is an operator platform designed as an exchangeable assembly unit, for mobile construction machinery, having a carriage for translational adjustment and a rotatable seat mounting for rotary adjustment of a seat, which also relates to a driver's cab with an operator platform of this kind.

A vehicle seat and method for adjusting the vehicle seat uses a hinge mechanism (18), a guide mechanism (20), and a single actuation device (22) designed to function selectively either in a backrest control mode, acting on the blocking device (28) in order to move the blocking device (28) towards the release position, or in a track (30) control mode, acting on the locking device (36) in order to move the locking device (36) towards the unlocking position. The actuation device (22) is controlled by a user to cause the actuation device to function either in backrest control mode or in track (30) control mode.

A removable seat of a motor vehicle includes first and second cross brackets laterally spaced apart and arranged perpendicular to first and second upper rails located in a floor of the motor vehicle, the first and second cross brackets being connected to the first and second upper rails, a cover connected to and extending between the first and second cross brackets, a handle extending laterally outward from the cover, a spring-loaded lock that holds the first upper rail in place with one of a first lower rail and second lower rail the floor, and a towel bar that releases the lock, enabling the first and second upper rails to slide within the first and second lower rails.

A sliding device for a vehicle seat includes a pair of tracks, each having a lower rail and an upper rail, and a locking arrangement having a pair of locking assemblies, each including locking pins for locking a respective one of the upper rails to a respective one of the lower rails. The locking arrangement includes a releasing assembly for driving the locking pins of each of the locking assemblies to an unlocking configuration. The releasing assembly includes a releasing member and a pair of connecting members. The connecting members are each in a force transmission connection with the releasing member and with the locking pins of a respective one of the locking assemblies. The connecting members are entirely received within the tracks, and the releasing assembly is configured to convert rotational movement of the releasing member into linear movement of the locking pins of each of the locking assemblies.

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.

A bench seating assembly for a vehicle includes an outboard seating assembly disposed on a pair of outboard rails slidably coupled to a pair of outboard tracks and an inboard seating assembly disposed on an inboard rail slidably coupled to an inboard track. A release bar assembly is disposed below the outboard seating assembly and the inboard seating assembly, and includes a driver movable between a first position and a second position. A latch mechanism is operably coupled to the driver such that if the driver is in the first position, then the latch mechanism is in a locked position, and if the driver is in the second position, then the latch mechanism is in an unlocked position.

A side facing seat includes a seat back element and a moveable seat base element disposed below the seat back element. The moveable seat base element is moveable at least between a stored position and a seating position. Movement of the moveable seat base element is controlled by an activation element that is configured to engage with a locking mechanism such that the locking mechanism is able to lock the moveable seat base element in the stored position or the seating position.
