A passenger support includes a vehicle seat and a foundation having a lower track and an upper track. The lower track is coupled to a floor of a vehicle in a fixed position relative the floor. The vehicle seat is coupled to the upper track to slide back and forth relative to the lower track.

A longitudinal adjuster for a vehicle seat may have a rail assembly having two rail pairs of seat rails. The respective rail pair has a fixed seat rail and a seat rail that is movable relative to the fixed seat rail. The rail assembly may also have a motor unit and a gearbox unit, which couples the motor unit and the movable seat rail. The rail assembly may also comprise a holder for receiving a gearbox housing of the gearbox unit. The holder is arranged with the gearbox unit in a hollow space formed by the one rail pair and is fixed to the movable seat rail. The holder is formed so as to be open at one end and closed at the opposite end. The holder has at least one stiffening element at the open end.

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.

A longitudinal adjuster for a motor vehicle seat may have a seat rail that can be connected to the vehicle seat, and a floor rail, which can be connected to a vehicle floor and on which the seat rail is displaceably guided. The longitudinal adjuster may have a drive device for adjusting the seat rail relative to the floor rail along the longitudinal direction. The drive device may have a spindle fixed to the floor rail or to the seat rail. A rotatable spindle nut may be mounted on the spindle via a thread engagement. An electric motor may be operatively connected to the spindle nut for driving the spindle nut. A drive-side output shaft of the electric motor may be oriented parallel to the spindle. The floor rail has a cut-out and the electric motor is at least partly arranged through the cut-out.

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 vehicle seat includes: a bracket; and a seat frame that is mounted on the bracket through coupling member. The bracket has main body, and upright wall extending upward from the main body and coupled to the main body. The coupling member is mounted at one end on the upright wall with fastening member. The main body is provided with interference avoiding portion that prevents interference with protruding portion of the fastening member protruding from the upright wall toward the main body.

A rail pair (1), for a vehicle seat (10), includes at least a lower seat rail (S1) and an upper seat rail (S2), which engage around one another in such a way that a rail profile is formed and which can be moved in relation to each other in a longitudinal direction (L) and can be interlocked by a rail locking device (2). Rolling elements (4) are arranged between the seat rails (S1, S2) in an interaction region. The upper seat rail (S2) includes two side walls (S2.1, S2.2), which two side walls (S2.1, S2.2), in a vertical orientation, protrude largely in parallel and perpendicularly from a bottom region (S2.3). One of the side walls (S2.2) is bent outward in a continued course in some regions of the longitudinal direction (L).

A seat slide apparatus for a vehicle includes a lower rail, an upper rail, a lock member, a stopper portion, a lever member that rotates in a release direction in association with a forward folding of a seatback, and a memory link being released from the lever member in a state where the lever member rotates in the release direction and rotating to an engageable position at which the memory link is engageable with the stopper portion, the memory link being configured to pass through the stopper portion in a case where the upper rail moves to a front side of the seat, the memory link engaging with the stopper portion to restrict the upper rail from moving to a rear side of the seat in a case where the upper rail moves to the rear side of the seat after the memory link passes through the stopper portion.

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.

To reduce energy loss to increase power transmission efficiency, as well as to suppress unusual sound resulting from whirling vibration. A driving force transmission mechanism includes a drive unit that generates a rotation force and consists of a motor, as well as an independent rotating mechanism that is disposed between the drive unit and one of a pair of left and right gear mechanisms so as to be connected to the output shaft of the drive unit and has greater kinetic energy than the rotating parts of the gear mechanisms. Flexible shafts that rotate by smaller kinetic energy than any of the kinetic energy of the drive unit, the kinetic energy of the rotating mechanism, and the friction forces and damping forces of the rotating parts of the gear mechanisms connect between the drive unit and rotating mechanism, between the rotating mechanism and one gear mechanism, and between the drive unit and the other gear mechanism.
