Patent number: 10308145Abstract: A track assembly including a track and a support. The support may be configured for selective connection with the track. The support may include a lock plate that may be configured to selectively limit movement of the support relative to the track in at least one of a first direction and a second direction. The support may include an anchor that may be configured to selectively limit movement of the support relative to the track in at least one of the second direction and a third direction. The support may include a cam that may be configured to selectively engage and disengage at least one of the lock plate and the anchor from the track.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Alfred Cziomer, Marc Laumeier, Klaus Walter, Michael Wojatzki, Torsten Bochert, Andre Schebaum

Patent number: 9919624Abstract: A track assembly includes an upper track that includes an interface member having a first end and a second end, a plurality of wheel assemblies, an anchor, and one or more locking blocks disposed on a side of the interface member. Embodiments of the system include a lower track with a first side and a second side, wherein a flat portion is disposed near a top of each of the first side and the second side. In embodiments, flat portions may extend along a longitudinal axis associated with the lower track. A plurality of gaps may be disposed on the flat portions, and the gaps may be configured to receive a locking block and an anchor. The anchor may be configured to guide the upper track as the upper track travels along the longitudinal axis associated with the lower track.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Alfred Cziomer, Marc Laumeier, Klaus Walter, Michael Wojatzki, Torsten Bochert

Patent number: 9751431Abstract: A seat track assembly may include a lower seat track having a pair of opposing outer rails and an upper seat track having a pair of opposing inner rails. The inner rails of the upper seat track may cooperate with the outer rails of the lower seat track to support the upper seat track for movement on the lower seat track. A support member may be provided between the lower seat track and the upper seat track. The support member may include a portion that extends in a vertical direction between the lower seat track and the upper seat track to restrict vertical movement of the upper seat track relative to the lower seat track. The support member may also include a portion that extends in a lateral direction between the inner rails of the upper seat track to restrict the inner rails from deforming inwardly toward one another.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2015Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Klaus Walter, Michael Wojatzki, Alfred Cziomer, Marc Laumeier
