A sliding device for a vehicle seat is provided. The sliding device includes a pair of parallel slideways, each of which comprises a lower rail, an upper rail slidably mounted to the lower rail and a latch for allowing/preventing a movement of the upper rail relative to the lower rail. A releasing member is provided for driving the latches to a position in which the upper rails are free to move relative to the lower rails. Each latch has a rear portion which is bent into a “U”-like shape and comprises a lower leg carrying latching elements configured to cooperate with corresponding latching elements provided in the lower rail and an upper leg configured to engage the releasing member. The design of the latches improves the reliability of the sliding device.

A vehicle seat-track assembly is provided and may include a first track member having a series of locking features and a second track member slidably supported by the first track member. The seat-track assembly may also include a locking mechanism having locking pawls movable between a locked state engaged with the locking features to restrict relative movement between the first and second track members and an unlocked state disengaged from the locking features to permit relative movement between the first and second track members. The locking pawls may each include locking elements that are received within respective ones of the series of locking features in the locked state such that the locking elements restrict relative movement between the first track member and the second track member in two directions when the locking pawls are in the locked state.

A track assembly includes a track and a support member connected to and configured move along the track. The support member may include an engagement portion. The engagement portion may be configured to engage the track to limit relative movement between the track and the support member in a loaded state of the track assembly. The engagement portion may be configured not to operatively engage the track or limit movement between the track and the support member in an unloaded state of the track assembly.

In an electric seat slide device of the present invention, a rear-side bracket 27 includes a first support member 41 fixed to a lower rail 2, a second support member 42 fixed to the lower rail 2 together with the first support member 41, a female screw member 43 as a first nut member through which a screw shaft 4 passes, and a second nut member 44 through which the screw shaft 4 passes. A pair of side wall portions 47 extending along a lower rail longitudinal direction and a vertical wall portion 62 of the second support member 42 which is formed orthogonal to the straight line along the lower rail longitudinal direction are sandwiched between the female screw member 43 and the second nut member 44.

A light emitting device includes a light emitter, a holding portion that slidably holds the light emitter inside a slide rail for a vehicle, and a light transmissive cover that covers the light emitter. According to a configuration, the cover of the light emitting device prevents a decrease in a communication performance of a signal transmission and reception device in which information on an electronic device is transmitted using an LED, as compared with a related art in which the communication performance decreases due to influence of scattering or shielding a light of the LED, the influence being caused by a grease which is heavily applied inside a slide rail of a vehicle and adheres to the LED.

A longitudinal adjuster for a seat, in particular vehicle seat, may have at least a fixed lower track and an upper track slidable coupled to the lower track, an adjustment device for longitudinally adjusting the upper track relative to the lower track, a latch mechanism to latch the upper track relative to the lower track, and an electromechanical device relatively coupled to the latch mechanism. The electromechanical device may be configured to bias the latch mechanism between a release position and a latch position, and upon release of the latch mechanism the adjustment device is actuated to drive the upper track relative to the lower track.

A track assembly for a rail-mounted component of a vehicle includes a rail cartridge slidably coupled with a track and defines a first slot. A first electrical connector is positioned within the rail cartridge. A connection cartridge defines a channel. The connection cartridge includes first and second sidewalls joined by a bottom wall. A second electrical connector is positioned within the channel and is configured to selectively engage with the first electrical connector. An actuation member is positioned within the channel and is movable between first and second positions. The actuation member is biased to the first position. An actuator is operably coupled with the actuation member to selectively move the actuation member into the second position against the bias.

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 track for a vehicle seat comprising: a lower rail; an upper rail, mounted sliding relative to the lower rail in a longitudinal direction; where a bolt has means of pivoting between a manual lever and an attachment part comprising a first part and a second part belonging respectively to the manual lever and of the attachment part, or vice versa, hinged one relative to the other around said axis of rotation. According to the present disclosure, the first part and the second part comprise means for clipping, mutually engaging, allowing an assembly of the manual lever and the attachment part by elastic deformation of the one at least of the clipping means belonging to the first part and/or to the second part.

A track assembly includes a first track having first apertures, a second track having second apertures, and a latch assembly. The latch assembly includes a latch plate movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The latch plate includes first teeth that selectively extend through the first apertures and through at least one of the second apertures when the latch plate is in the engaged position. A gap is present between a first latch tooth of the first teeth and one of the first apertures when the latch plate is in the engaged position. The latch assembly includes an anti-chuck component coupled to the latch plate and including a second tooth that extends along a face of the first latch tooth. The second tooth extends laterally past both lateral edges of the first latch tooth to close the gap when the latch plate is in the engaged position.
