摘要： A seat assembly for use in an automative vehicle comprising a seat back and a seat cushion pivotally coupled to the seat back. A pivot bracket is fixedly secured to each opposite lateral side of the seat back for supporting the seat assembly between opposing lateral side walls within the interior of the vehicle. Each pivot bracket includes a support flange for supporting the seat cushion cantilevered from the pivot bracket. A hook portion engages a latch post on the lateral side walls to retain the seat assembly in an upright seating position. A pivot flange is pivotally coupled to a main pivot post on the lateral side walls for pivoting the seat assembly between the upright seating position to a stow-to-floor position wherein the seat cushion is pivoted forwardly and downwardly to be supported on the floor of the vehicle and the seat back is pivoted against the seat cushion to form an extended cargo load floor.

摘要： A seat assembly for an automotive vehicle includes a seat cushion, a seat back, and a recliner mechanism interconnecting the seat back and the seat cushion for selective adjustment of the seat back relative to the seat cushion between a plurality of reclined seating positions and a forwardly folded position. A riser assembly extends between the seat cushion and the floor of the vehicle. The riser assembly includes front and rear legs arranged as a four bar linkage between the seat cushion and the floor for selectively moving the seat cushion between a seating position and a stowed position. The rear legs are fixedly secured to a control rod pivotally supported by the seat cushion. Levers extend between the seat back and the control rod for automatically moving the seat cushion between the seating and stowed positions in response to a movement of the seat back between the respective seating and stowed positions.

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 assembly for supporting an occupant above a floor of an automotive vehicle including a cushion and a riser coupled between the floor of the vehicle and the seat cushion for allowing manual lateral displacement of the seat cushion within the vehicle between a plurality of lateral positions. The seat cushion is pivotally coupled to front legs for movement between a seating position and a forwardly dumped position. The front legs are interconnected to a foot bracket. The foot bracket includes a hook portion slidably engaged with a rod fixedly secured to the floor of the vehicle for manual movement of the seat cushion between the plurality of lateral positions. A cinching hook is pivotally coupled to the foot bracket for movement between locked and unlocked positions. In the locked position, the cinching hook clamps the rod between the hook portion and the cinching hook for resisting lateral displacement of the seat cushion along the rod. In the unlocked position, the cinching hook is substantially disengaged from the rod to allow lateral displacement of the seat cushion along the rod. A link extends between the seat cushion and the cinching hook for moving the cinching hook between the locked and unlocked positions in response to movement of the seat cushion between the locked and the unlocked positions.

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： An automotive component (10) and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The component (10) comprises a core portion (14) formed of a first material and a second portion (18) integral with the core portion (14) and formed of a second material. In one illustrated embodiment, the first and second materials have different material property characteristics. For example, the first material can be made of a relatively harder plastic material than the second material made of a softtouch plastic material. The method for manufacturing the component comprises the steps of injecting the first material into a first cavity of a mold to form the core portion (14), altering the mold cavity to form a second cavity and injecting the second material into the second cavity while the first material is in a reactive state to form the second portion (18) of the component. Because the first material is in the reactive state, the second material is integrally formed with the first material.

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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A sun visor assembly for an automotive vehicle includes a sun visor panel having generally planar opposing sides sandwiched together to define a pocket therebetween. A longitudinally extending support rod is positioned between the opposing sides of the panel for supporting the panel in the interior of the vehicle. An adjustment mechanism is coupled between the support rod and the sun visor panel for providing selective sliding movement of the sun visor panel for providing selective sliding movement of the sun visor panel along the support rod between a retracted position and an extended position. The adjustement mechanism includes a support frame secured to the visor panel having an upper rail forming a longitudinal rack, a guide carriage secured to the support rod and slidebly coupled to the support frame, and a gear rotatable supported by the carriage and meshed with the rack for guiding the sun visor panel along the support rod between the retracted and extended positions.
