Embodiment Construction

[0019] An exemplary embodiment of a vehicle seat provides the convenient utility of a rotatable seat back to provide an adjustable level of comfort to an occupant. The seat allows repositioning of the seat back to facilitate access to a seat positioned behind the adjustable seat back. The seat includes a reclining mechanism and a comfort adjustment handle for adjusting the position of the seat back. The seat includes a memory feature so that the recline mechanism is locked in its current comfort position, but still allows the comfort adjustment handle to be turned. These functions are realized by a seat mechanism that couples the reclining mechanism and the locking mechanism through a locking mechanism.

[0020] Many types and designs of recline mechanisms are known. For example, a recline mechanism is shown and described in US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 878,765, filed January 5, 2007, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The reclin...

Abstract

A vehicle seat system including a seat-bottom (1.7) and a.seatback (15) wherein the seatback (15) is prevented from rotating by both a recliner mechanism (50) and a latch mechanism (60) connected to the seatback (15). The latch mechanism (60) is configured to be disengaged to permit rotation of the seatback (15), to a forward position to aid ingress into a rearward positioned seat, which in turn releases a pair of tracks to shuttle the seat forward, to provide for easier ingress into a rearward positioned seat. When the latch mechanism (60) is released or unlocked, the recliner mechanism (50) release handle is free to rotate, but the lockout mechanism is prevented from, releasing the recliner mechanism. The seat is configured so that the seatback (15) unfolds and returns to the specific comfort position prior to activation of the latch mechanism release handle (23).

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims the benefit and priority of US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 897,131, filed January 24, 2007. technical field [0003] The present application relates generally to automotive seating systems, and more particularly, to the field of mechanisms for automotive seating systems that provide improved usability to users. Background technique [0004] Generally, it is known that, for practical or convenient purposes, seat assemblies in vehicles provide the user with adjustability including, for example, moving a seat positioned for an occupant so that the occupant can The ability to more easily access the position of the seat positioned behind the adjustable seat. It is known to provide, on vehicles such as coupes (i.e., two-door vehicles), the ability to move the "front" seats into a forward position to enable access to the "second row" of seats, and On other vehicles such as vans, trucks, sport u...
