Conveyance seat
Provided is a conveyance seat capable of reducing the number of components and reducing swing of a seat cushion while a vehicle is travelling. The conveyance seat is a seat including a cushion lock apparatus turnably coupling a seat cushion to a seat back and configured switchable between a seatable state and a housing state. The cushion lock apparatus includes a lock member attached to a seat cushion side, a lock target member attached to a seat back side and engaging with the lock member to lock turning motion of the seat cushion, and a position holding member holding at least one of the positions of the lock member and the lock target member to hold a state in which a clearance is, in the seatable state, formed between an engagement portion provided at the lock member and an engagement target portion provided at the lock target member.
APPARATUS FOR ROTATING A HEADREST OF A VEHICLE SEAT
An apparatus for rotating a headrest of a vehicle seat includes a headrest that is rotated forward to support a seat occupant's head upon reclining of a seatback. A seat occupant's head is comfortably supported by the headrest and a comfortable relaxation posture is implemented.
Electric latch of a motor vehicle backrest
An electric lock for a fold-down seat of a motor vehicle is situated inside a housing. The lock includes a locking means, a blocking element, a transmission lever attached to the blocking element so as to move it between a position of blocking the locking means in the catch retention position and a position in which it is effaced with respect to the movement of the locking means. The lock includes an actuator comprising an electric motor, the actuator being able to move the transmission lever. The transmission lever of the lock is able to move about an axis of rotation and has two arms extending radially from the axis, the first arm at its end having a handle and the second arm at its end having a means of attachment to the blocking element.
LOCKING DEVICE FOR WALK-IN SEAT OF VEHICLE
Disclosed is a locking device for a walk-in seat of a vehicle capable of stably maintaining the locked state of the walk-in seat prior to a walk-in operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a locking device for a walk-in seat of a vehicle capable of stably maintaining the locked state of the walk-in seat prior to a walk-in operation (that is, the locked state of a drive plate for the walk-in operation of the seat) even if the engagement between the drive plate and a pawl is released due to deformation caused by a torsional load applied to a connection frame of the seat by additionally providing a separate component configured to prevent the drive plate from being rotated in an unlocking direction when a load is applied to a seat belt buckle.
EASY ENTRY LATCH FOR VEHICLE SEAT
An occupant support includes a vehicle seat mounted to a foundation frame for sliding the vehicle seat longitudinally in a vehicle. The vehicle seat is movable from a slid-back configuration to a forward-seating configuration and may be changed from a horizontal-use configuration to a tilted configuration for easy entry into or exit from a rear row of the vehicle. The vehicle seat may be locked in the tilted configuration.
Thin profile cable attachment for a recliner link
A cable assembly has a link, a cable connector and a cable. The link has a slot near a distal end of the link. The cable connector comprises a shaft near a proximal end of the cable connector and an opening near a distal end of the cable connector. The shaft is engaged with the slot of the link. The cable has a stopper at an end of the cable. The cable extends through the opening, and the stopper extends above the opening.

HIGH LATCH ASSEMBLY WITH DISC RECLINER
A seat assembly for use in an automotive vehicle comprises a seat cushion adapted to be coupled to a floor of the vehicle, a seat back pivotably coupled to the seat cushion, a striker adapted to be fixedly secured to a support wall in the vehicle, a recliner bracket pivotally coupled to the seat back, and a latch assembly pivotally coupled to the recliner bracket and pivotally coupled to the striker. Pivotal movement of the recliner bracket relative to the seat back causes the latch assembly to pivot around the striker and the seat back to pivot relative to the seat cushion between a design position and a full recline position.
Vehicle seating assembly with panel assembly
A seating assembly includes a seat base operably coupled with a seatback. A panel assembly includes a first panel coupled with the seatback and a second panel hingedly coupled with the first panel. The second panel includes a connector assembly having a housing and a support slidably coupled with the housing. The second panel is movable between a first position and a second position. The second panel is vertically aligned with the first panel in the first position and is substantially coplanar with the first panel in the second position.
