SINGLE MANUAL LOCK CONFIGURATION FOR A SEAT ASSEMBLY

摘要

A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat back supported with respect to a seat bottom and is attached to the vehicle by a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly has an inboard track assembly (18) that are both mounted to a vehicle structure with the track assemblies being spaced apart from one another. Each track assembly (18, 20) includes a first track (30) and a second track (32) supported for movement relative to the first track. The seat bottom is supported on the second track for horizontal movement with the second track as seat position is adjusted. A single locking mechanism (28) is supported on one of the inboard track assemblies (18, 20). The locking mechanism (28) moveable between a locked position where the locking mechanism maintains the second track in a selected position relative to the first track and an unlocked position where the second track is moved with respect to the first track to a desired seat position. The mounting assembly further includes a manual actuator (22) for selectively moving the locking mechanism (28) between the locked and unlocked positions. A truss structure (36, 38) extends between the inboard (18) and outboard (20) track assemblies to provide structural support for the seat assembly.
