Appl. No.:
10/170693
Inventors:
Sorin Coman - Ann Arbor MI
Alex Giuro - Rochester Hills MI
Wojciech Smuk - Troy MI
Assignee:
Faurecia Automotive Seating Canada Limited - Mississauga
International Classification:
B60N 202
US Classification:
29737812
Abstract:
A hinge is disclosed, which forms part of a vehicle seat which includes a seat cushion and a cushion plate attached thereto. The fixed part of a rotary recliner, having a handle extending therefrom, is mounted to the cushion plate. An idler plate is mounted to the movable part of the recliner, for rotation therewith. A sector plate, which carries a seat back, has a first position relative to the idler plate, and is lockable thereat by a latch, for rotation with the idler plate under control of the handle. This permits the seat back to be pivoted to a preferred seating position via the recliner when the latch is engaged. When the latch is disengaged, the sector plate is forwardly rotatable, relative to the idler plate, from the preferred position. A spring biases the latch to re-engage the sector plate upon rearward rotation thereof back to its first position.

6827404, Dec 7, 2004
Filed:
Aug 28, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/649606
Inventors:
David M. Blair - Troy MI
Thomas J. Cooley - Lapeer MI
Dan Dumitru Nae - Troy MI
Wojciech Smuk - Troy MI
Assignee:
Faurecia Automotive Seating Canada Limited - Mississauga
International Classification:
B60N 236
US Classification:
29737812, 2973781, 29734411
Abstract:
A fold flat vehicle seat comprises a seat assembly mounted on a movable track member slidably engaging a fixed track member, and lockable by a track lock. The seat assembly includes a seatback member mounted on a seat cushion member for forward folding between a substantially upright occupiable design position and a substantially horizontal load supporting position. A downwardly and rearwardly sloped ramp is mounted on the fixed track member. A drive link assembly is mounted on the seatback member for translational engagement of a ramp contact member with the ramp. As the seatback member is forwardly folded from the upright occupiable design position to the load supporting position the track lock releases and the ramp contact member moves downwardly and rearwardly along the ramp to thereby cause rearward longitudinal movement of the seat assembly relative to the fixed track member to a predetermined rear longitudinal position.

US Patent:
7360838, Apr 22, 2008
Filed:
Mar 1, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/364199
Inventors:
Wojciech Smuk - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
Faurecia Automotive Seating Canada Limited - Mississauga, Ontario
International Classification:
B60N 2/02
US Classification:
297367
Abstract:
A rotary recliner includes rotatable plate members that pivotally interconnect a vehicle seat back and cushion. A pawl defines a pawl axis and slides between a guide pair on one plate member. An outer end of the pawl includes a gear segment that is lockable with a ring gear on the other plate member. A cam rotates between locked and unlocked positions, and has a camming surface eccentric of the pivot axis. When locked, the camming surface engages a cam-follower surface on the pawl, with the pawl being engaged by the cam solely at the cam-follower surface, and with the pawl axis being askew of a radial axis, such that the gear segment locks with the ring gear, and such that the plate members are restrained from rotating. When unlocked, the gear segment is removed from the ring gear, such that the plate members may be rotated.
