Abstract

An actuation system for concurrently actuating a first mechanism and a second mechanism from a first state to a second state includes an actuator and a sliding member operatively engaged with the actuator and movable from a first position to a second position in response to actuation of the actuator. A connecting member has a relaxed state and a taut state. The connecting member includes a first end coupled to the first mechanism, a second end coupled to the second mechanism, and a medial portion cooperative with the sliding member. Movement of the sliding member from the first position to the second position changes the connecting member from the relaxed state to the taut state, whereby the tension is increased in the connecting member.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to a system for synchronously actuating multiple components, for example, synchronously actuating opposed vehicle seat latches to allow a vehicle seat folding operation. [0002] Foldable seating systems typically include a recliner mechanism with opposed latches on each side of the seat bottom that collectively hold the seat in an upright position. The folding action of the seat can be manually initiated or powered by pressing a button to release these latches. Often, separate cables run from the actuator mechanism to a lever or similar device coupled to each latch. Because these individual cables may have different tolerances or degrees of deflection, actuating the folding operation of the seat does not necessarily result in simultaneous release of the latches. This situation can result in a delay between releasing the first latch and releasing the second latch, which delay can lead to increased stress in and to one...
