The present invention is a device for facilitating the loading and unloading of a child's car seat, itself installed in either a left seat or a right seat of an automobile. The device comprises a rigid stationary base configured for engaging the seat of the automobile, and a pivotable support configured for selectively receiving and securing the child's car seat thereon. A bottom side of the pivotable support is configured for pivotable sliding on a top side of the stationary base. At least one device locking mechanism is fixed with a rear side of the stationary base for securing to the seat of the automobile. A pair of pivot locking mechanisms detach a latch assembly from the stationary base when an actuator lever is actuated, allowing the pivotable support and car seat to pivot on the stationary base.

A seat assembly having a seat bottom, a seat back, a seat track, and a rear mounting unit. The seat bottom may be pivotally mounted to the seat back. The seat back may be pivotally mounted to the rear mounting unit. The rear mounting unit may be moveably disposed on the seat track.

A seat slider device may include a lower rail attachable to a body of a vehicle; and an upper rail attachable to a lower portion of a seat and slidably engaging with the lower rail. The upper rail may include a lock pin movable along a short direction of the upper rail. The lower rail may include a plurality of first holes and a second hole. The first holes may be arranged along a longitudinal direction of the lower rail and configured to engage with the lock pin, and the second hole may be arranged with the first holes along the longitudinal direction of the lower rail. The second hole may be positioned at a position where the lock pin is incapable of engaging with the second hole or the second hole may have a size with which the lock pin is incapable of engaging.

A lock assembly for a vehicle seat includes a lever that has a body and a retention tab that extends from the body, a biasing member that is operably coupled to the body of the lever, an engagement member that is proximate to the lever, and an inertia member that has a weighted head and a retention hook. The inertia member is operable between a first position and a second position.

A long rail assembly attached to a vehicle floor for repositioning vehicle seats in a vehicle between a plurality of seating positions. The long rail assembly includes a fixed long rail having a C-shaped cross-section in profile and an elongated opening in a side wall of the long rail, a power rail drive module configured to travel along an interior of the long rail and having at least one striker extending laterally away from the rail drive module through the elongated opening in the side wall of the long rail, and a vehicle seat having at least one leg releasably coupled to the at least one striker by a seat latch assembly.

A removable component system may include a removable component selectively connectable to a mounting surface including a component electrical unit; an antenna; a system controller configured to communicate with the component electrical unit and the antenna; and/or a track assembly configured to be fixed to said mounting surface. The removable component may be selectively connectable to said mounting surface via the track assembly. The removable component may be configured for selective connection with, removal from, and movement along the track assembly. The system controller may be configured to obtain a position of the removable component relative to said mounting surface via the antenna and the component electrical unit (e.g., via a component controller, a sensor, and/or a communication device thereof).

A seat track assembly provides forward and rearward movement of a seat assembly. A latch mechanism allows movement of a movable track between a plurality of positions. A memory mechanism with a memory plate and a memory tab are operable between a home position in which the memory tab is disposed in a recess of the moveable track, and a memory position in which the memory plate is coupled with a plurality of angled teeth to define a selected position. Actuation of the memory mechanism to the memory position unlocks the latch mechanism to allow movement of the movable track in a first direction away from the selected position to an easy-entry position. Movement of the movable track in a second direction from the easy-entry position stops the movable track at the selected position, allowing the latch mechanism to lock and the memory mechanism to return to the home position.

A lock assembly for a vehicle seat includes a lever that has a body and a retention tab that extends from the body, a biasing member that is operably coupled to the body of the lever, an engagement member that is proximate to the lever, and an inertia member that has a weighted head and a retention hook. The inertia member is operable between a first position and a second position.

A power seat slide device capable of changing not only to an electric operation but also to an manual operation, and preventing half-lock in spite of a manually operable structure. For front-rear movement, a rack attached to a lower rail and a pinion meshed with the rack are used, and a driving force of a motor is transmitted to the pinion, which enables the use in an electric mode. As no slide screw is used, while the motor is not energized, rotating the pinion causes an output shaft of the motor to rotate, so that manual adjustment becomes possible.

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.
