    摘要: A continuously engaged recliner assembly (20) selectively locks a seat back in one of a plurality of reclined positions about a pivot axis relative to a seat cushion on a vehicle seat. The recliner assembly includes a cylindrical housing (30) having an annular rim of gear teeth (34). A carrier plate (40), having outwardly extending drive pins (42), is rotatably nested within the cylindrical housing (30). An input shaft (50) is rotatably journaled to and extends between the cylindrical housing (30) and the carrier plate (40). Rotation of the shaft (30) causes the first and second gear (60, 62) to move in a hypocycloidal motion around the annular rim of gear teeth (34). A biasing member (58) operatively interconnecting the first (52) and second (55) cams rotatably biases the first and second cams in opposing directions, in turn biasing the first (60) and second (62) gears, respectively, in opposing directions against the cylindrical housing (30), thereby minimizing play within the recliner mechanism.

    摘要: A seat assembly (10) for use in an automotive vehicle comprises a seat back (34) pivotally connected to a seat cushion (32) by a pair of recliner assemblies. The seat assembly is supported by and above the floor of the vehicle by a pair of center pivot assemblies (56, 58). The seat cushion is releasably supported by opposing sidewalls of the vehicle by front latch assemblies (60, 62). The recliner assemblies (52, 54) provide pivotal movement of the seat back (34) relative to the seat cushion (32) between an upright seating position and a forward folded flat position against the seat cushion. With the seat assembly in the folded flat position, the latch assemblies (60, 62) may be released to unlock the seat cushion from the sidewalls and allow the seat assembly to rotate about the center pivot assemblies (56, 58) from the folded flat position to a stowed position recessed within a storage cavity (16) within the floor of the vehicle.

    摘要: An automotive console is provided including an accessory receiving body or bodies generally located proximate one or more base portions positioned over or secured to a body, such as, for example, a floor pan/panel of an automobile. The accessory receiving body or bodies may each include a closure panel or the like and an actuator operably associated therewith. The actuator may be a switch, such as an electronic contact, arranged in a predetermined position, such that a portion of the closure panel operably contacts the actuator to deploy an accessory, such as a beverage container or the like. Further, it will be appreciated that upon movement of the closure panel away from the actuator, the actuator will be adapted to stow the accessory.

    摘要: A seat assembly (10') is provided for supporting an occupant above a floor in an automotive vehicle. The seat assembly includes a seat cushion (12') that is adapted to be pivotally coupled to the floor (14') for movement between a raised position spaced above the floor and a lowered position adjacent the floor. The seat assembly also includes a seat back (16') that is adapted to be pivotally coupled to the floor for movement between an upright position and a folded position overlying the seat cushion. At least one drive link (170,172) extends between a first end pivotally coupled to the seat back and a second end pivotally and slidably coupled to the seat cushion for automatically moving the seat cushion between the raised and lowered positions in response to pivoting the seat back between the upright and folded positions thereby defining a seating position and a stowed position of the seat assembly.

    摘要: An adjustment mechanism is disclosed for moving a movable member relative to a fixed member. A threaded screw is fixedly secured to the fixed member. A gear is rotatably disposed about the threaded screw. A housing includes a bore and an opening in a lower surface. A rotatably driven worm is disposed within the bore and includes a threaded outer surface that protrudes through the opening in the lower surface of the housing and threadably engages the gear. A generally U-shaped retainer strap partially surrounds the gear and is adapted to couple the housing and gear together to align and preload the worm and gear. A generally U-shaped bracket is adapted to be fixedly secured to the movable member, wherein the gear, housing, worm, and retainer strap are disposed within the bracket and the threaded screw passes through a pair of openings in the bracket.

    摘要: A vehicle seat has a seat back and a seat cushion and a pair of recliners hingedly mounting the seat back to the seat cushion providing pivotal movement of a seat back relative to a seat cushion. Each of the recliners has a guide plate configured to be mounted to the seat cushion and a toothed plate rotatably assembled to the guide plate. The toothed disc has a flange having a series of internal teeth thereon. A plurality of pawls is mounted between the toothed plate and the guide plate. The pawls each has a toothed surface and is moveable between a locked position with the toothed surfaces engaging the series of teeth to lock the toothed plate relative to the guide plate, and an unlocked position with the toothed surfaces spaced from the teeth of the guide plate to allow movement of the toothed plate relative to the guide plate. A plurality of guides extends from the guide plate, guiding the pawls between the locked and unlocked positions. A cam is rotatably mounted between the guide plate and the toothed plate. The cam has a cam surface defined by a plurality of lobes for selective engagement with the pawls, selectively moving the pawls between the locked and unlocked positions. A spring continuously biases the cam, urging the pawls toward the locked position. A bushing is secured to the cam. The cam and the bushing have a lost motion connection therebetween. A rod extending through the bushing on each of the recliners to gang the recliners together for simultaneous operation. The guide plate and the toothed plate have abutments that limit relative rotational travel therebetween.

    摘要: A seat frame assembly is provided for compactly folding a motor vehicle seat. The seat frame assembly includes a pair of spaced apart and parallel side frame members defining a vertical plane, and a lower cross member extending between the pair of side frame members. An actuator is pivotally secured to one of the pair of side frame members. A linkage assembly includes first and second link members, which are pivotally secured to one another. The first link member extends between the actuator and the second link member. A control arm is fixedly secured to the second link member and pivotally secured to the lower cross member. When the actuator is pivoted, the control arm moves between a support position extending away from the side frame members and a stowed position co-planar with the side frame members.

    摘要: A seat assembly includes a seat cushion and a pivotally attached seat back movable between a seating position secured to the floor of a vehicle and a stowed position recessed in the floor. A pair of front legs are pivotally attached to the seat cushion and removably attached to a striker assembly in a floor. A pair of rear legs is attached between the seat cushion and the floor. A linkage assembly is coupled between the front legs and rear legs. The linkage assembly includes a lost motion slot for retracting the front legs relative to the seat cushion frame allowing the front legs to pivot between a support position extending between the seat cushion and the floor and a retracted position recess against the seat cushion in response to pivotal movement of the seat cushion between the seating position and the stowed position.
