    摘要: A locking device includes a case, a latch, a locking member, an electric actuator, a rack, a guide portion, and a biasing member. The electric actuator includes a pinion. The rack meshes with the pinion and moves between a first position and a second position. The guide portion differentiates a going route and a return route. The going route is a route the rack takes when moving from the first position to the second position, and the return route is a route the rack takes when moving from the second position to the first position. When taking the going route, the rack meshes with the pinion and moves from the first position to the second position according to rotation of the pinion. When taking the return route, the rack moves toward the first position by a biasing force of the biasing member.

    摘要: Disclosed is a locking device for a walk-in seat of a vehicle capable of stably maintaining the locked state of the walk-in seat prior to a walk-in operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a locking device for a walk-in seat of a vehicle capable of stably maintaining the locked state of the walk-in seat prior to a walk-in operation (that is, the locked state of a drive plate for the walk-in operation of the seat) even if the engagement between the drive plate and a pawl is released due to deformation caused by a torsional load applied to a connection frame of the seat by additionally providing a separate component configured to prevent the drive plate from being rotated in an unlocking direction when a load is applied to a seat belt buckle.

    摘要: Provided is a spring lock mechanism including: a lock drum (11) provided on either one of a first member (20) and a second member (20); a coil spring (12) secured to the other member, abutting on the lock drum (11), and locking turning of the second member (30) in one direction relative to the first member (20) due to a frictional force; and a switching mechanism causing the second member (30) to turn relative to the first member (20) to switch a state in which the locking has been established and a state in which the locking has been released and held, in which the coil spring (12) abuts on an inner circumferential surface of the lock drum (11), the diameter of the coil spring (12) increases through compression of a spring wire material of the coil spring (12) in a longitudinal direction caused by the turning of the second member (20), the coil spring thus further presses the inner circumferential surface of the lock drum (11) and locks the turning due to the frictional force, and the switching mechanism accompanies an operation of extending or shortening a length of the coil spring (12) in the state in which the locking has been released relative to the length of the coil spring (12) in the state in which the locking has been established.

    摘要: The technology provides a seat release blocker that covers a seat release latching mechanism, where the latching mechanism would enable a passenger to fold down one or more seats of a vehicle. This can be particularly beneficial when the vehicle is operating in an autonomous driving mode, because certain areas within the vehicle may be restricted from passenger access. For instance, access to the trunk or cargo area may be limited to authorized service personnel. The seat release blocker includes a cover member that is fixedly secured to a seat such as a middle seat, using one or more fastener members such as a screw. Once the cover is releasably secured to the seat, the side of the cover with the fasteners may be completely or substantially covered by the side of an adjacent seat.

    摘要: A vehicle seat recliner for reclining a seat back with respect to a seat base, includes an internal gear member, an external gear member, a drive member, a lock member, a biasing member, and a cover. The drive member causes relative rotation between the internal gear member and the external gear member. The lock member and the biasing member operate for selectively locking and unlocking relative rotation between the internal gear member and the external gear member. The cover covers an outside of the external gear member. The outside of the external gear member includes fitting projections, wherein the fitting projections project toward the cover, and are arranged concentrically. Each of the fitting projections includes a radial inside fixed to the cover by press-fitting and recess-projection fitting, and includes a radial outside configured to be fitted to a mounting hole of the second frame.

    摘要: A seat assembly includes a striker pin that is mounted to either a vehicle floor or a seat bottom. A latch assembly is mounted to the other of the vehicle floor and the seat bottom, and is configured to engage the striker pin. A pivot bracket assembly includes a first bracket member that is attached to the seat bottom and pivotally attached to a second bracket member which is fixedly mounted to the vehicle floor. One or both of the first bracket of the pivot bracket assembly and the latch plate of the latch assembly is movable relative to the vehicle floor and the seat bottom to facilitate alignment of the opening in the latch plate with the striker pin.

    摘要: A fitting (2) with a pivoting-forwards mechanism, positioning a backrest (1.1) of a vehicle seat (1) into a forward position, a comfort lock, positioning the backrest into a comfort region seat position (A to C), and an expanded comfort function, positioning the backrest beyond the front position into a loading platform position (E). The fitting includes a fitting part (2.1, 2.2) and a driver (4). A pivoting range of the backrest is limited in the forward position by an easy-entry latch (5) engaging in the fitting part (2.1). The easy-entry latch, when the backrest is adjusted between the seat positions in the comfort region, bears against a stop (7) mounted on the backrest and, in the forward position, is prevented by the stop from pivoting further forwards, and, when the backrest is set upright from the forward position into one of the seat positions, pivots controlled by the stop.

    摘要: An unlocking unit (10), for a vehicle seat (1), transmits a movement introduced via an actuation element (62) to at least two locking devices (90) for unlocking purposes. Each locking device (90) is paired with an unlocking element (11, 12) and the unlocking element (11, 12) is in the locked position when the respective locking device (90) is locked and in the unlocked position when the respective locking device (90) is unlocked. A display element (64) is in the display position when the locking devices (90) are unlocked and is in the non-display position when the locking devices (90) are locked. Each unlocking element (11, 12) which can be found in the unlocked position prevents the display element (64) from moving into the non-display position, and the display element (64) remains in the display position as long as at least one locking device (90) is unlocked.
