摘要:
A seat assembly ( 10 ) supports an occupant above a floor ( 7 ) having a load floor and a recess ( 6 ) extending therebelow. The seat assembly includes a seat cushion ( 12 ) extending between a seating surface ( 15 ) and a bottom surface ( 17 ). A riser mechanism ( 20 ) extends between the bottom surface ( 17 ) of the seat cushion and the floor ( 7 ) for allowing selective movement of the seat assembly between a seating position to support the occupant above the load floor and a stowed position disposed within the recess in the floor. A panel ( 70 ) is operatively coupled to the riser mechanism ( 20 ) for movement with the seat assembly between the seating position, wherein the panel ( 70 ) conceals the recess ( 6 ) in the floor, and said stowed position, wherein the panel is disposed within the recess to provide access thereto allowing the seat assembly to be stowed in the recess.

A heatstake for fastening a workpiece includes a base portion (12) having at least one shaft portion (20, 22). A central passage (26, 30) extends though the shaft portion from its leading end (24, 28) to the base portion. A plurality of slots (32) are disposed about an outer surface (34) of the shaft portion (22). The plurality of slots (32) have a predefined angular separation. Preferably, the plurality of slots (32) disposed about the outer surface of the shaft portion form a heatstake having multiple fastening portions. The multiple fastening portions are adapted to form a geometric flower shape for increasing the fastening strength of a heatstake when staked.

A retracting assembly (24) is coupled between a seat assembly (10) and a floor for moving the seat assembly (10) between a seating position and a stowed position. The retracting assembly (24) includes a rear link (14) extending between an upper end pivotally coupled to the seat assembly (10) and a lower end pivotally coupled to the floor. An output shaft (28) is rotatably coupled to the seat assembly (10). An actuator is fixedly coupled to the seat assembly (10) and operatively coupled to the output shaft (28) for rotatably driving the output shaft (28). A swing arm (30) having a distal end extends radially outwardly from the output shaft (28) for rotation therewith. A link arm (34) extends between a first end pivotally coupled to the distal end of the swing arm (30) and a second end pivotally coupled to the floor for moving the seat assembly (10) between the seating and stowed positions in response to corresponding rotation of the output shaft (28) by the actuator.

A headliner assembly (10) includes a layer of core material (16), a binding agent (26) adjacent to the core material (16), a first layer of chopped fiberglass (14) adjacent to the binding agent (26), a scrim (20) adjacent to the first layer of chopped fiberglass (14), a catalyst (38) adjacent to the scrim (20), a cover stock (22) adjacent to the catalyst (38). The catalyst (38) and the binding agent (26) are mixed together and impregnate the core material when pressure is applied to the headliner assembly (10), thereby resulting in a rigid headliner assembly. A method of forming the headliner assembly (10) is also disclosed.
摘要:
The seat assembly includes a seat cushion. A front leg is pivotally coupled to the seat cushion for movement of the seat cushion between a seating position and a forwardly dumped position. A support bracket is pivotally attached to the front legs at lower portions of the front legs. A track assembly is attached to the support bracket. The track assembly is secured in a lateral orientation to a floor of a vehicle with respect to the seat assembly; whereby the seat assembly may be moved to a plurality of positions within the vehicle.
摘要:
A sun visor clip (16) for aligning and attaching a sun visor (13) to a headliner (22) of a motor vehicle. The sun visor (13) has a mounting bezel (14) including a tubular center bearing (20) and a plurality of longitudinal grooves (38) formed in the tubular center bearing (20). The headliner (22) includes a visor opening (64), a recessed portion (74) surrounding the visor opening (64), and a plurality of depressions (62) spaced about the recessed portion (74). The sun visor clip (16) includes a base (42) defining a plane (44) and having an outer peripheral edge (46) and an inner peripheral edge (48) defining a center aperture (50). The sun visor clip (16) also includes a plurality of alignment tabs (56) projecting radially from the outer peripheral edge (46) for cooperation with the depressions (62) in the headliner (22) to align the sun visor clip (16) within the recessed portion (74) of the headliner (22). In addition, the sun visor clip (16) includes a plurality of guide tabs (52) projecting radially inwardly from the inner peripheral edge (48) for aligning each of the plurality of longitudinal grooves (38) in the tubular center bearing (20) whereby the sun visor clips (16) aligns the mounting bezel (14) with the headliner (22) upon receipt of the tubular center bearing (20) through the visor opening (64) and the center aperture (50) of the sun visor clip (16).
摘要:
A seat track assembly (24) for providing fore and aft movement of a seat along a floor of a motor vehicle includes a lower track (28) fixedly secured to the floor. The seat track assembly also includes an upper track (48) slidingly engaging the lower track (28) and defining an internal channel (70) there between. The upper track is coupled to the seat and allows for sliding movement of the seat along the lower track. In addition, the seat track assembly includes an anchor (78) seated within the internal channel and fixedly secured to the lower track (28). In addition, the seat track assembly includes a reinforcement bracket (90) seated within the internal channel (70) and fixedly secured to the upper track (48). The reinforcement bracket (90) selectively engages the anchor (78) in response to a predetermined load to control deformation and prevent separation between the upper and lower tracks.
摘要:
A headliner ventilation system that includes a headliner air duct positioned within the headliner along with an integrated pillar air duct for delivering air from a source, such as a heater and/or air conditioner, to the headliner air duct. The pillar air duct is integrally formed with the headliner air duct by use of a flexible hinge portion that allows the pillar air duct to be selectively positioned between a compact shipping state for easy storage and transport of the headliner and an extended state for easy installation into the vehicle. Because the pillar air duct is integrated with the headliner air duct, an adequate seal is ensured between the headliner air duct and the pillar air duct. In addition, less time and inventory are required, thereby reducing labor and expenses.
摘要:
A seat track assembly (10) is adapted to mount a seat to a floor of an automotive vehicle and provide selective forward and rearward adjustment of the seat relative to the floor among a plurality of seating positions. The seat track assembly includes an inner track (20) fixedly secured to the floor of the vehicle. The inner track (20) has a flattened bearing surface (37, 38) extending longitudinally along the inner track. An outer track (40) is fixedly secured to the seat and slidably coupled to the inner track (20) to allow selective sliding adjustment of the seat relative to the floor of the vehicle. The outer track (40) includes an arcuate bearing surface (57, 59) extending longitudinally along the outer track (40) and opposing the flattened bearing surface (37, 38). A plurality of cylindrical bearings (80) are positioned between the flattened bearing surface (37, 38) of the inner track (20) and the arcuate bearing surface (57, 59) of the outer track (40) to accommodate torsional loading and movement of the outer track with respect to the inner track while facilitating the selective sliding adjustment of the seat relative to the floor.
