摘要： A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat cushion and seat back for supporting a seat occupant. The seat back is operatively coupled to the seat cushion for selective pivotal movement between a plurality of reclined seating positions. The seat back includes a seat back frame. A head restraint is coupled to the seat back frame and defines a backset distance between the head restraint and the seat occupant's head. A mechanism operatively interconnects the seat back frame and the seat cushion for automatically tilting the seat back in response to pivotally adjusting the seat back in order to maintain the backset distance constant. When the seat back pivots rearward the seat back tilts forward, moving the head restraint toward the seat occupant's head. When the seat back pivots forward the seat back tilts rearward, moving the head restraint away from the seat occupant's head.

摘要： A seat assembly for an automotive vehicle comprising a main support frame adapted to secure the seat assembly to the floor of the vehicle. A seat cushion is rotatably journaled to the main support frame for rotation between a seating position and a fold flat position rotated generally 180 degrees about the frame. A seat back is pivotally coupled to the main support frame for rotation between a generally upright seating position to a fold flat position aligned generally flush with the seat cushion in the fold flat position. A lower track is fixedly secured to the main support frame and an upper track is fixedly secured to the seat back and slidably secured to the lower track. An automatic fold mechanism is operatively coupled between the upper track and the seat cushion for automatically rotating the seat cushion between the seating position and the fold flat position in response to fore and aft sliding movement of the upper track along the lower track.

摘要： An automotive seat assembly (10) has a seat cushion and a seat back pivotally mounted to the seat cushion. The seat assembly includes a seat track mechanism having a lower track member (18) and an upper track member (20) supported by the lower track member (18) for movement between forward and rearward positions. An incremental locking mechanism is mounted between the upper and lower track members (18) for locking the track members in a desired position and for unlocking the track members to allow the upper track member (20) to move between the forward and rearward positions. A slide actuator is disposed adjacent the 30 locking mechanism and is moveable to an engaged position for disengaging the locking mechanism 46 and moving the upper track member (20) to a forward dump position. The seat assembly (10) also includes a positioning device which comprises a locator mounted to the upper track member (20) and moveable with the upper track member (20) as the upper track member (20) is moved to the forward dump position. The locator is interconnected to the slide actuator wherein the locator moves between a release position allowing the upper track member (20) to freely move relative to the lower track member (18) and a blocking position to align with a fixed stop which limits the movement of the upper track member (20) to a predetermined stop position upon rearward movement of the upper track member (20) from the forward dump position.

摘要： A seat assembly for use in an automotive vehicle comprises a generally horizontal seat cushion for supporting a seat occupant on the seat assembly and a seat back (36) pivotally connected to the seat cushion by a recliner (38) for pivotal movement between a generally upright position and a fully reclined position relative to the seat cushion. The seat assembly includes a head restraint (26) pivotally coupled to the seat back for pivotal movement between a normal position when the seat back is in the upright position and a forward angled position relative to the seat back when the seat back is in the fully reclined position to support the seat occupant's head. An adjustment mechanism comprises a guide plate (90) slidably coupled to the seat back for pivoting the head restraint between the normal position and the forward angled position. A cable (100) is coupled between the seat cushion and the guide plate mechanism for automatically sliding the adjustment mechanism between a first position pivoting the head restraint to the normal position and a second position pivoting the head restraint to the forward angled position in response to pivotal movement of the seat back between the upright position and the fully reclined position for continuously adjusting the position of the head restraint relative to the seat occupant's head. A spring (110) urges the guide plate toward the second position when the seat back is pivoted toward the fully reclined position.

摘要： A seat track assembly for adjusting a seat assembly of an automotive vehicle. The seat track assembly comprises a lower track and slidably coupled to an upper track. A locking mechanism includes a fixed lock plate secured to the lower track and having a first plurality of apertures. A moving lock plate is secured to the upper track and includes spaced apart and parallel upper and lower locking plates sandwiched on opposing sides of the fixed lock plate. Each of the upper and lower locking plates include a second plurality of apertures for aligning with the apertures in the fixed lock plate. A housing is mounted to the moving lock plate above the apertures. A pair of shear plates are slidably disposed within the housing and have opposing offset engagement fingers. The shear plates are biased to a locked position for selectively engaging the first and second apertures to lock and secure the upper track to the lower track. The shear plates are moveable to an unlocked position disengaged from the first and second apertures enabling the sliding movement between the upper track and the lower track. Additionally, at least one of the shear plates is engageable with the first and second apertures regardless of a relative position between the upper track and the lower track to provide infinite engagement of the locking mechanism between the upper and lower tracks.
