CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE SEAT
A track assembly for a vehicle seating assembly includes a track that defines a lateral channel and a central channel. The lateral channel is in communication with the central channel. A plurality of contact strips are coupled with the track and are positioned within the lateral channel. A rail cartridge is positioned within the central channel and is slidable along the track. The lateral channel is at least partially enclosed by the track and the rail cartridge. A support is operably coupled with the rail cartridge and extends from the central channel into the lateral channel. A plurality of contacts are operably coupled with the support and are configured to engage the plurality of contact strips.
TRACK SYSTEM WITH A SUPPORT MEMBER
An anchor for a support member of a track system may include an anchor body, a toothed anchor portion, and an anchor member. The anchor body may be connectable to said support member. The toothed anchor portion may include a plurality of anchor teeth configured to engage a plurality of track teeth of a toothed portion of a track assembly. The anchor member may be configured to facilitate engagement of the plurality of anchor teeth and said plurality of track teeth. The anchor body, the toothed anchor portion, and the anchor member may be connected to one another to collectively form a hook portion configured to engage said toothed portion of said track assembly.
TRACK SYSTEM WITH A SUPPORT MEMBER
An anchor for a support member of a track system may include an anchor body and a toothed anchor portion. The anchor body may be connectable to said support member. The toothed anchor portion may include a plurality of anchor teeth configured to engage a plurality of track teeth of a toothed portion of a track assembly. The anchor body and the toothed anchor portion may be connected to one another to collectively form a hook portion configured to engage said toothed portion of said track assembly. At least a subset of anchor teeth of the plurality of anchor teeth may be disposed one after another in a curved or angled configuration to define a curved or angled row of anchor teeth.
TRACK SYSTEM WITH A SUPPORT MEMBER
A track system may include a track assembly and a support assembly. A track assembly may include a wheel receptacle. The support assembly may include a support member removable from and adjustably connected to the track assembly. The support member may include a wheel. The wheel may be adjustable to an engaged position in which the wheel engages the wheel receptacle. The wheel may be adjustable to a disengaged position in which the wheel is not engaged with the wheel receptacle.
TRACK SYSTEM WITH A SUPPORT MEMBER
A track system may include a track, a support assembly, and a flexible member. The support assembly may include a support member removably and adjustably connected to the track. The flexible member may be connected to the support member. The support member may include a pinion. The flexible member may be adjustable to a first flexible member position in which the pinion and the track are not engaged with one another. The flexible member may be adjustable to a second flexible member position in which the pinion and the track are engaged with one another.
TRACK SYSTEM WITH A SUPPORT MEMBER
A track system may include a track assembly and a support assembly. A track assembly may include a toothed portion. The support assembly may include a support member removable from and adjustably connected to the track assembly. The toothed portion may include a plurality of track teeth. The support member may include an adjuster pinion. The adjuster pinion may include a plurality of pinion teeth configured to engage the plurality of track teeth. The adjuster pinion may be adjustable to an engaged position in which the adjuster pinion and the toothed portion are engaged with one another. The adjuster pinion may be adjustable to a disengaged position in which the adjuster pinion and the toothed portion are not engaged with one another.
TRACK SYSTEM WITH A SUPPORT MEMBER
A support member may be connectable in a removable and adjustable manner to a track assembly. The support member may include an electrical connector, a contact, and a biasing member. The electrical connector may be adjustable to a first position and a second position. The contact may be connected to the electrical connector and configured to engage a conductor of said track assembly. The contact may be engageable with said conductor when the electrical connector is in the first position. The contact may not be engageable with said conductor when the electrical connector is in the second position. The biasing member may be configured to bias the contact into engagement with said conductor when the electrical connector is in the first position.
Vehicle having rail-mounted components
A vehicle includes a cabin and a track assembly. The track assembly is coupled to a portion of the cabin. The track assembly includes a rail assembly. The rail assembly defines an interior aperture. The interior aperture is inaccessible from a top side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side of the rail assembly. The rail assembly defines a first external channel in the first lateral side and a second external channel in the second lateral side. The first and second external channels receive a carriage power conductor and a carriage data conductor, respectively.
GUIDE RAIL ASSEMBLY FOR A LONGITUDINAL ADJUSTMENT OF A VEHICLE SEAT
A guide rail assembly for a longitudinal adjustment of a vehicle seat, comprising a lower rail, which can be connected to a vehicle floor and which has a first profiled guide, and an upper rail, which can be connected to a vehicle seat and which has a second profiled guide that is guided on the first profiled guide along an adjustment direction. The lower rail or the upper rail has a third profiled guide which extends along the adjustment direction for guiding an assembly in addition to the vehicle seat. In this manner, a guide rail assembly is provided which allows a flexible adjustability of an assembly in addition to a vehicle seat.
SEAT TRACK MECHANISM
A seat track mechanism for a vehicle seat. The seat track mechanism may include an upper track, a lower track, a striker, a lever, and a pawl. The lever may be rotatable about a lever axis. The pawl may be rotatable with respect to the lever about a pawl axis when the striker engages the pawl.
