Patent number: 10675998Abstract: A seat is provided in which a seat cushion is pivotally coupled to a seat back by a recliner assembly. The recliner assembly is selectively operable between a locked condition preventing pivotal movement of the seat back and an unlocked condition allowing pivotal movement of the seat back. A riser assembly supports the seat assembly above a floor, such as the floor of a vehicle, and is configured for actuation and movement of the seat assembly between a generally upright seating position, a pitched easy entry position tilted forwardly and downwardly towards the floor to allow easier ingress and egress behind the seat, and a stowed position recessed within a compartment below the floor.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Magna Seating Inc.Inventors: Nathan A. Jensen, Prasad D. Jagtap, Alan Proulx, Timothy Jon Brush, Senthil Kumar Chinnadurai, Abhishek Kedia, Umesh Prakash Handigol, Jeffrey P. Carroll, Lyle Dadd, Omar D.

Patent number: 10406956Abstract: A seat assembly is provided for supporting in an automotive vehicle. The seat assembly comprises a seat cushion and a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat cushion for movement between a reclined seating position and a fold flat position. A recliner assembly is coupled between the seat back and the seat cushion to provide pivotal movement of the seat back. A riser assembly is pivotally coupled to the seat cushion and pivotally latched to the floor to allow pivotal movement of the seat cushion between a horizontal seating position and a forwardly upright tumbled position. A release mechanism is coupled between the seat back and the riser assembly for automatically synchronizing actuation of the recliner assembly and the riser assembly to provide movement of the seat assembly to the tumbled position in response to the pivotal movement of the seat back to the fold flat position.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Magna Seating IncInventors: David A White, Prasad D Jagtap, Alan Proulx, Timothy J Brush, Jeffrey P Carroll, Omar D Tame, Robert T Coffey, Rabindranath Persad, Douglas A Dingel, Nelson E Hurst, Jerzy Dziedzic, Lei Cao, Brian Adwell

Patent number: 9415701Abstract: A seat track assembly includes upper and lower tracks slidably coupled together. The lower track includes a locking window and the upper track includes a first aperture. A locking mechanism includes a mounting bracket fixedly secured to the upper track. The mounting bracket includes a second aperture. At least one pin is slidably guided by the second aperture for movement in and out of the locking window and first aperture for interlocking the upper and lower tracks. The pin includes opposite first and second sides and at least one of the sides includes a recess. The recess reduces a surface area of the respective side of the pin and defines upper and lower edges. The upper and lower edges of the recess lockingly engage with the upper and lower tracks in response to a dynamic impact to prevent withdrawal of the pin from the locking window and first aperture.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Magna Seating Inc.Inventors: David J. Wrong, Prasad D. Jagtap

Patent number: 8757720Abstract: A seat track assembly includes a seat track operable for sliding movement of a seat assembly. A towel bar pivots a drive lever unlocking the seat track and allowing sliding movement of the seat assembly within a range of comfort positions. A stop lever pivots between a lowered position and a raised position. In the lowered position, the stop lever engages a stop bracket secured to the seat track preventing the seat assembly from moving forward of the range of comfort positions. A cam pivots in response to pivotally moving a seat back to a dump position. Pivoting the cam pivots the drive lever unlocking the seat track and pivots the stop lever to the raised position spaced above the stop bracket to allow sliding movement of the seat assembly to an easy-entry position forward of the range of comfort positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Magna Seating Inc.Inventors: Nelson E. Hurst, III, Prasad D. Jagtap, III, Jeffrey P. Carroll, Jonathan A. Calhoun, Rabindranath Persad

Patent number: 7992913Abstract: A seat assembly has a seat cushion pivotally supported by a pair of front support links for movement between a seating position for supporting a seat occupant and a stowed position. A seat back is pivotally supported by a pair of recliner mechanism for movement between an upright position and a stowed position. The seat cushion moves from the seating position to the stowed position in response to pivotal movement of the seat back from the upright position to the stowed position. A J-link extends between the seat back and the front support links. A torsion spring biases the seat cushion to the stowed position. A control cable operatively couples the seat back and the seat cushion. A pair of support legs automatically deploy as the seat cushion rotates to the stowed position.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Intier Automotive IncInventors: Dmitriy Zelmanov, Rabindranath Persad, Prasad D.
