Said at least one rear seat comprises a seating portion with a seating portion frame, a backrest with a backrest frame. The backrest frame is pivotable relative to the seating portion frame about a first transverse axis, between at least one deployed position for receiving an occupant of the seat and a folded position in which the backrest frame is folded down to face the seating portion frame. Said at least one rear seat is adapted to have a configuration in which said at least one rear seat is in said folded position and the backrest of said at least one rear seat extends at least partly between the two front seats.

Control mechanism for lock pawl

A control mechanism for a lock pawl comprises an electric motor mounted in a housing that is connected with the seat backrest and has an output shaft with a worm gear engaging with the spur gearing of a transmission gear rotary-mounted on a transmission pivot and having on its frontal surface an eccentric selector pivot for controlling the pawl of the lock, swing-mounted on a pawl pivot between a blocking position, in which the pawl blocks a rotary ratchet of the lock from releasing a catch eye connected with the car bodywork, and an unlocking position, in which the pawl releases the rotary ratchet to release the catch eye, the pawl having a radial selector arm, which in the blocking position of the pawl interferes with the circular trajectory of the selector pivot to enable the selector pivot to engage with the selector arm, whereas the pawl has a radial control arm.

ROTATION MOVEMENT CONTROL MECHANISM AND SEAT
20170240071 · 2017-08-24 · ·

A structure in which two worm wheels are disposed across a worm provides an increase in locking reliability while maintaining stable operation during rotation. At the time of rotation, respective rotating fulcrums set at both end portions in an axial direction of a worm are supported by bearing parts. At the time of locking, a locking fulcrum set at an eccentric position on one end portion in the axial direction of the worm is supported by one bearing part, while on the other end portion in the axial direction, the rotating fulcrum is supported by the other bearing part as is. As a result, the angle of lead of the worm supported by the pair of bearing parts is changed between the time of rotation and the time of locking and becomes smaller at the time of locking than at the time of rotation, whereby an increase in locking reliability can be achieved.

Deceleration device

A deceleration device according to an embodiment includes a driven gear configured to rotate about a rotational axis by driving power of a drive mechanism; a deceleration unit including a plurality of gears including a first gear and a second gear, the first gear that rotates by the driven gear, the second gear that rotates about the rotational axis, the deceleration unit configured to rotate the second gear at a reduced speed with respect to the driven gear; a first contact included in the second gear; and a second contact provided separately from the driven gear and the plurality of gears and configured to come into contact with the first contact to stop the rotation of the second gear.

DRIVING DEVICE AND SEAT ADJUSTING MECHANISM FOR VEHICLE
20170259708 · 2017-09-14 ·

A driving device and a seat adjusting mechanism for vehicle are provided. The driving device includes a motor and a gearbox. The gearbox includes a worm and a worm gear. The worm is fixedly connected to an output shaft of the motor. The gearbox further includes first and second driving gears, and first and second driven gears. The first and second driving gears are coaxially fixed to the worm gear and located at two sides of the worm gear, respectively. The first and second driven gears are fixed coaxially with each other and engaged with the first and second driving gears, respectively. Two driving gears are arranged at the two sides of the worm gear symmetrically, and two driven gears are also arranged at the two sides of the worm gear symmetrically, which results in a compact structure and reduced volume of the driving device.

Dual gear type recliner device for a vehicle seat

A dual gear type recliner device includes a recliner device having a hinge structure applied to an intermediate section of a seat and configured to form a fixed end hinge point with a seatback frame of a seatback and form a free end hinge point with a cushion frame and configured to impart movements of folding and unfolding to the seatback. The dual gear type recliner device further includes a controller configured to output motor control signals to a cushion motor and a seatback motor and to generate the movements of the folding and the unfolding. Therefore, two drivers are integrated into one device to improve the degree of freedom in designing an outer circumference of the seat and built in a gear box to perform a large angle adjustment so that a back table mode and a leg rest mode can be easily implemented.

Vehicle seating assembly

A vehicle seating assembly includes a seatback movable between an upright position and a reclined position relative to a seat base. A track assembly includes a bracket slidably received by a rail. The bracket is operably coupled with at least one of the seatback and the seat base. A rear support assembly is positioned to extend at least partially along the seatback and includes a base operably coupled with the seatback. First and second struts extend downward from the base, and one of the first and second struts is pivotally coupled with a back end of the bracket. An actuator assembly is operably coupled with the base and is configured to move the seatback between the upright position and the reclined position.

ACTUATOR FOR RECLINER

Proposed is an actuator for a recliner which can be manufactured with components having simple structures to reduce weight, and functions of a seat operated through different cables are independently performed stably. The actuator for a recliner includes: a casing part, and a drive part provided with a worm wheel gear located inside the casing part and rotated by an operation of a motor, and a rack gear configured to move elastically toward a first or second side of the drive part in engagement with the worm wheel gear, with cables being coupled respectively to the first and second sides of the rack gear.
