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.

A side bolster adjustment apparatus of a vehicle seat may include a guide frame which is mounted to a seat back frame, and is formed with a guide groove; a slider which slides along a direction in which a bolster protrudes from a seat back, which is the longitudinal direction of the guide groove, by a guide means formed in the guide groove; a lead screw which is provided to penetrate the slider, and is mounted in the longitudinal direction of the guide groove; a motor which is coupled to the lead screw and selectively rotate the lead screw; and a bolster plate which is coupled to the slider, and rotates around a vertical longitudinal direction of the seat back by operation of the slider.

A device for tilting a seat cushion of a fold and dive seat includes: a pair of seat cushion side frames spaced apart from each other; seat back side frames connected to the pair of seat cushion side frames; a seat cushion main-frame connected to the seat back side frames; guide brackets, one of which disposed on a first side of a front portion of the seat cushion main-frame and another of which disposed on a second side of the front portion of the seat cushion main-frame, wherein each of the guide brackets has a longitudinal through-hole; a tilting support bar, both ends of which extend through the through-holes, respectively; tilting support links, each of which connected between the tilting support bar and each seat cushion side frame; a mounting bracket disposed on the front portion; and a tilting drive device disposed between the mounting bracket and the tilting support bar.

A linear actuator for adjusting a seat component of a motor vehicle seat includes a lead screw having a rod head. A fastening means is connected to the rod head and connectable to a first seat component of the motor vehicle seat. The first seat component has a bearing, with the fastening means being insertable into the bearing in a first orientation and lockable in the bearing in a second orientation.

A transformable seat assembly includes a seat support structure and a back support structure connected to the seat support structure with a hinge defining an axis of rotation. An actuator assembly includes a cylinder and a piston positioned within the cylinder, wherein the cylinder is secured to one of the back support structure or the seat support structure and the piston is secured to other of the one of the back support structure or the seat support structure. Additionally a blocking member is positioned within and adjustable along the cylinder. With blocking member in a first position, piston is limited to travel to a first limit position and the back support structure to a first reclined position. With the blocking member in a second position, piston is limited to travel to a second limit position and back support structure is permitted to rotate to second reclined position.

Clutch-based adjustment mechanism for motorized multi-way seat adjustment An adjustment mechanism comprises multiplescrew shafts (111, 112, 113) and a motor (150) for driving the screw shafts. Further, the adjustment mechanism comprises a clutch mechanism (160) for selectively engaging the motor (150) with one or more of the screw shafts (111, 112, 113). A rotation of one or more of the screw shafts (111, 12, 113) caused by the motor (150) translates into adjustment of the seat according to a first degree of freedom. A rotation of one or more others of the screw shafts (111, 12, 113) caused by the motor (150) translates into adjustment of the seat according to a second degree of freedom.

An actuator provides linear motion between two points, and includes a motor, a spindle assembly and a gear assembly that connects the motor to a spindle of the spindle assembly and drives the spindle to rotate about a spindle axis. The gear assembly includes a gear housing that encloses gears and a portion of the spindle. The gear assembly including the gear housing is modular in that it includes features that allow it to be easily adapted by a rearrangement of components, and/or by substitution of certain components, to accommodate the requirements of multiple different applications.
