Abstract:
A seat track system for use in a vehicle seat assembly having a seat base frame. The seat track system includes a lower track assembly having a first lower track and a second lower track and an upper track assembly having a first upper track slidably disposed within the first lower track and a second upper track slidably disposed within the second lower track. The first upper track has a portion extending upwards that forms a first side member of the seat base frame and the second upper track has a portion extending upwards that forms a second side member of the seat base frame. The first upper track and the first side member are formed integrally to form a one-piece unitary member and the second upper track and the second side member are formed integrally to form a one-piece unitary member.
Abstract:
A passenger seating system (26) for a vehicle (5) comprising a seat back (12), a seat cushion (14), and a seat base (16). The passenger seating system (26) may be configured to utilize, expose and/or create various storage areas. The storage areas may be located on or within the seat back (12), the seat cushion (14), and/or the seat base (16). Other storage areas may be utilized, exposed and/or created by configuring the passenger seating system (26) in particular positions with vehicle interior components, such as a glove box.
Abstract:
A seat bottom chassis (24) includes a pair of brackets (32) configured to support a seat back chassis (26), and a cushion pan (28) extending between the pair of brackets (32). The seat bottom chassis (24) is formed from a single piece of material.
Abstract:
A seat back frame for use in a vehicle seat assembly including a first side member, a second side member, an upper cross member, and a lower cross member. The seat back frame also includes a load transfer member that transfers impact loads from a collision through the seat assembly.
Abstract:
A vehicle seat (10) includes an active head restraint system (30) movably coupled to a seat back (12) , the active head restraint system (30) including an actuator responsive to the movement of an occupant of the vehicle seat, the actuator for moving the head restraint toward the occupant's head during a rear impact. The actuator (40) pivots with respect to the vehicle seat (10) and is connected to one end of a link, the other end of the link is coupled to the head rest and the link may be routed through a pulley (48) coupled to the seat frame (32)

Abstract:
A frame for a vehicle seat assembly includes a tubular member having a plurality of tubular segments coupled together. The tubular segments have a plurality of properties which vary from one tubular segment to another, the properties that vary include, thickness, length, shape, material type, material grade, outer diameter, and inside diameter. At least one of the properties of at least one of the segments is different from at least one of the properties of the other segments.
