A rail and carrier system for first and second removable seats for a motor vehicle includes two lower rails fixedly attached to and positioned laterally along a floor of the motor vehicle. Two upper rails are nested with and laterally slidable within each of the first lower rails. Cross brackets are laterally spaced apart and arranged perpendicular to the upper rails. Covers are connected to and extend between the cross brackets. Spacers are located laterally between upper rails within the lower rails. The spacers include a first shoe located in the lower rail, a second shoe located in the lower rail, and a first bracket connecting the first shoe and second shoe. The first and second shoes prevent the upper rails from contacting each other.

A bracket for use in a rail and carrier system for a removable seat for a motor vehicle, the rail and carrier system having first and second lower rails, first and second upper rails nested within the first lower rail, third and fourth upper rails nested within the second lower rail, includes a generally U-shaped end that is substantially similar to a U-shaped cross-sectional profile of the first and second lower rails, the U-shaped end having a center portion and two upper portions, and a generally L-shaped extension extending from a bottom of the center portion, the L-shaped extension having a first portion that is attached to the one of the first and second lower rails and a second portion that extends upward from the first portion. The second portion blocks movement of one of the first, second, third, and fourth upper rails.

A removable seat for a motor vehicle includes two hook fasteners for removably attaching the seat to front strikers that are rotatable about a lateral axis through the front strikers. A bar extends between the first hook fastener and the second hook fastener that is parallel to the lateral axis. The bar contacts the cover to prevent further rotation when the seat is rotated about the lateral axis to prevent over-rotation of the seat.

A vehicle seat longitudinal adjustment device has a floor rail, a seat rail, and a locking unit substantially accommodated in a cavity formed by the rails, and a housing. A bearing shaft is disposed in this housing and extends in the displacement direction. The device includes at least two flat blocking parts, pivotable independently of each other about the bearing shaft and elastically biased, independently of each other, by one blocking spring each, and a releasing part. The structurally identical blocking parts each have two arms, between which the bearing shaft is located. The seat rail has, for each blocking part, shear slots accommodating the first and second arms. The floor rail has a perforated strip cooperating with the first arms, with first blocking slots, and a perforated strip cooperating with the second arms, with second blocking slots. The slots are periodically disposed one behind the other in the displacement direction.

A support member may be configured for selective connection with and removal from track assemblies. A support member may include a body and a rolling member rotatably connected to the body to facilitate movement of the support member along a track. The rolling member may include a grooved configuration to limit movement of the support member relative to said track in a Y-direction. The rolling member may include a groove configured to engage a protrusion or ridge of said track. The rolling member may include a first portion and a second portion separated in an axial direction by the groove.

An electrical system may include a mounting surface, a component configured for connection with the mounting surface and configured to move relative to the mounting surface, and/or an orientation sensor configured to determining an orientation of the component relative to the mounting surface. The orientation sensor may include a first sensor (e.g., a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, etc.) connected, at least indirectly, to the mounting surface, and a second sensor (e.g., a magnetometer, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, etc.) connected to move with the component. The orientation sensor may include an electronic controller. The electronic controller may be configured to compare first information from the first sensor to second information from the second sensor to determine the orientation of the component relative to the mounting surface.

A track assembly includes a first track, a second track, and a latch assembly. The first track includes a plurality of first apertures. The second track includes a plurality of second apertures. The latch assembly includes a latch plate and an anti-chuck component. The latch plate includes a plurality of first teeth that selectively extend through the plurality of first apertures and through a subset of the plurality of second apertures. A gap is present between at least one of the plurality of first teeth and a side of a respective one of the plurality of first apertures when the latch plate is in the engaged position. The anti-chuck component is coupled to the latch plate. The latch plate includes one or more second teeth that engage at least one of the plurality of first apertures to close the gap.

A guide device of a vehicle having a first guide paired with a fixture, a second guide that is paired with a structure of the vehicle and forms a guide track along which the fixture is movably guided in opposite track directions. A locking device has a first lock paired with the fixture and second lock paired with the structure of an X-locking mechanism which is used to releasably lock a movement along the track directions. A primary lock is paired with the fixture and a secondary lock is paired with the structure of a Z-locking mechanism via which a movement in a third direction for a removal out of the second guide can be releasably locked. The locking device has at least a first actuator and a second actuator via which the X-locking mechanism and/or the Z-locking mechanism can be moved between a locking position and a release position.

A safety device for a lock mechanism may have a housing that encapsulates the lock mechanism. The housing may have at least one opening, through which at least one adjustment element coupled to the lock mechanism is guidable. The at least one opening may have a sealing element. A seat track for a seat is also disclosed. The seat track may have a first track assembly with at least one track member, a second track assembly with at least one further track member, and a lock mechanism configured to lock an adjustment of the seat.

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.
