Abstract: An assembly comprises a seat bottom and a seat back pivotally attached to the seat bottom. The seat back is pivotal between a fold-forward position and an in-use position. A headrest is pivotally attached to the seat back by a tilt mechanism and is pivotal between a folded position and an upright position via the tilt mechanism. The tilt mechanism pivots the headrest forward to the folded position in response to the seat back being pivoted to the fold-forward position. A headrest-return mechanism is operably coupled to the seat back and to the headrest, wherein the headrest-return mechanism actuates the headrest such that the headrest is pivoted from the folded position to the upright position in response to the seat back being pivoted from the fold-forward position to the in-use position.

Abstract: A seat assembly, comprising: a seat base; a seat portion movably coupled to the seat base; and a seat portion adjuster coupled to the seat base and the seat portion, the seat portion adjuster including: a bracket connected to the seat base; a motor operably coupled to the bracket; and a linkage coupled to the seat portion, the bracket, and the motor.

Abstract: A seating system for a vehicle includes a seat back and a seat bottom selectively rotatable between a design position and a stowed position. A latch arrangement has a first cam with first and second surfaces, a support structure with first and second surfaces, and a second cam. The latch arrangement has a first locking position wherein the first surface of the first cam engages the first surface of the support structure so that movement of the seat bottom from the design position to the stowed position is inhibited. The latch arrangement also has a second locking position wherein the second cam engages a portion of the support structure so that movement of the seat bottom from the stowed position to the design position is inhibited.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly has a seat base, a seat back rotatably connected to the seat base and movable between an upright position and a folded position. An arm has a first end region connected to the seat base and a second end region defining a cam surface. A follower such as a pin is connected to the seat back and fixed relative thereto. The follower engages the cam surface when the seat back is in the folded position.

Abstract: A seating system for a vehicle having a seat bottom and a seat back connected to and manually rotatable relative to the seat bottom may include a manually-actuated dump-and-return arrangement for the seat back and a manually-actuated slide arrangement for the seat bottom. It may also include a motor-actuated dump-and-return arrangement for the seat back and a motor-actuated slide arrangement for the seat bottom.

Abstract: A seating arrangement having a striker, a seat back, and a latch mechanism. The seat back may be pivotable about an axis of rotation. The latch mechanism may be disposed on the seat back. The latch mechanism may allow the seat back to be secured to the striker in multiple angular positions.

Abstract: A recliner mechanism for a seat. The recliner mechanism may have first and second cams that may be rotatable about an axis. The first cam may engage and hold a pawl in an engaged position. The second cam may be spaced apart from the pawl when the pawl is in the retracted position.
