Abstract: An easy entry seat track assembly with single point memory comprises a lower track assembly and an upper track assembly, slidably engaging the lower track assembly. A latch releasably secures the upper track assembly to the lower track assembly. Operation of a towel bar or the like is provided for comfort adjustment of the upper track assembly relative to the lower track assembly. Also, single point memory is provided for moving the latch from a latching position to an unlatching position, holding in the unlatching position temporarily and returning the latch to the latching position when the upper seat track is moved to a predetermined position. The single point memory comprises a cam plate mounted on the upper track assembly. A memory mechanism attached to the latch is contacted by the cam plate as it rotates from an open position to a memory position, moving the latch to the unlatching position.

Abstract: A rollerless seat track assembly and a motor vehicle seat having a rollerless seat track assembly is shown having a lower track mounted to a base or floor of a motor vehicle, and a slidable upper track attached to a seat base. The upper track has a top wall and a pair of side walls. The lower track has a pair of flanges positioned adjacent a primary load bearing contact surface. Preferably a low friction coating, such as a PTFE epoxy paint is applied to the primary load bearing contact surface of the lower track, and a preferably elongate glide strip or glide member may be affixed to a lower side of the top wall of the upper track. As the seat track slides back and forth, the glide strip would slide over the low friction coating, minimizing the efforts required to adjust the seat. Lateral stability may be enhanced by lateral stabilization ball bearings running in raceways between the upper and lower tracks.
