SEAT RAIL ASSEMBLY
A seat rail assembly capable of stably holding a position of one or more vehicle seats relative to the vehicle floor. The seat rail assembly includes an upper rail on which the seat is provided and a lower rail which is mounted to the vehicle floor. The upper rail is slidably provided within the lower rail, and incorporates an engagement assembly with a dual wedge engagement assembly to ensure constant contact between the lower and upper rails. A gearbox configured to remove lash may be provided on the upper rail for moving the upper rail relative to the lower rail.
MOVABLE VEHICLE SEAT WITH INTEGRATED OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
A seat includes a seat bottom, a seat back, a seat mounting structure configured to support the seat bottom and the seat back, the seat mounting structure configured to slidably couple to the rail assembly, and an occupant restraint system including a seat belt coupled to a retractor assembly. The retractor assembly is configured to slidably couple to the rail assembly such that the retractor assembly moves along the rail assembly as the seat mounting structure is moved along the rail assembly, the occupant restraint system configured to transfer load to the rail assembly disposed in the vehicle floor.
LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTER FOR A VEHICLE SEAT, AND VEHICLE SEAT
A longitudinal adjuster (3) for a vehicle seat (1) includes at least one rail pair (7), including a lower rail (9) and an upper rail (11), which can be moved longitudinally in relation to the lower rail (9). At least one locking unit (13) locks the upper rail (11). At least one actuating element (5) releases the locking of the upper rail (11). The locking unit (13) includes at least one locking element (15) and at least one spring element (17), which are operatively engaged with each other. The spring element (17) is interlockingly and frictionally connected to the upper rail (11) by an insertion locking connection (S). The spring element (17) applies a preloading force to the actuating element (5) and to the locking element (15). A vehicle seat (1) is also provided with at least one such longitudinal adjuster (3).
LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTER FOR A VEHICLE SEAT, AND VEHICLE SEAT
A longitudinal adjuster (3), for a vehicle seat (1), includes a lower rail (9), an upper rail (11), moveable in relation to the lower rail (9) in a longitudinal direction (x), and a locking unit (13) for locking the upper rail (11) to the lower rail (9). The locking unit (13) includes two locking elements (VR), which, in order to lock the upper rail (11) and the lower rail (9), engage in the upper rail and the lower rail in a blocking manner in steps such that one of the locking elements (VR) pre-locks the upper rail (11) and the lower rail (9) with play in a pre-locking step and one of the locking elements (VR) locks the upper rail (11) and the lower rail (9) without play in a locking step. A vehicle seat (1) including such a longitudinal adjuster (3) is provided.
SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY
A seat track assembly including a first rail configured to move along a second rail. The assembly may include a roller cage disposed at least partially between the first rail and the second rail. In embodiments, the assembly includes a stopper that projects from an inner surface of the second rail and is configured to restrict movement of the roller cage while the movement of the first rail relative to the second rail is independent of the stopper.
Network of rails for a vehicle
A network of rails for a vehicle includes a lateral rail that extends primarily along a lateral axis of the vehicle, a longitudinal rail that extends primarily along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and a circular rail that interacts with at least one of the lateral rail and the longitudinal rail.
Seat sliding device for vehicles
A seat sliding device for vehicles includes lower and upper rails and a locking member for locking or unlocking the upper rail relative to the lower rail. The upper rail is equipped at a lower end of its downward side wall portion with a lower inward corner portion formed of a raised wall portion and a bottom wall portion. The locking member has an axial portion that is placed on and biased against the lower inward corner portion of the upper rail such that the locking member is swingable about an axis of the axial portion to lock or unlock the upper rail relative to the lower rail. This seat sliding device makes it possible to reduce the number of parts and improve operation stability of the locking member.
PASSENGER SUPPORT
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.
Easy seat positioning and installation
A seat mounting apparatus of a vehicle, including a plurality of seat tracks mounted in the vehicle; a plurality of seat sliders at least equal in number to a number of the plurality of seat tracks, each of the plurality of seat sliders being slidable along one of the plurality of seat tracks; and a seat mounting bracket that aligns and fixes a relative position in the direction of a number of the plurality of seat sliders equal to the number of the plurality of seat tracks.
RAIL PAIR FOR A VEHICLE SEAT
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).
