Abstract: A modular backrest control includes a mounting bracket, a pivot bracket attached to the mounting bracket, a pivot rod rotatably mounted on the pivot bracket, a lever arm mounted on the pivot rod, and a user actuated lever handle rigidly mounted on the pivot rod. The lever arm is rotatable from a first position to a second position. The lever arm has a connector for attachment to a backrest actuation cable. The user actuated lever handle is rotatable between a lock position and a release position such that rotation of the lever handle from the lock position to the release position causes rotation of the lever arm from a first position to a second position. Characteristically, rotation from the first position to the second position actuates the backrest actuation cable.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly comprises a seat bottom comprising a frame assembly securable to a vehicle. The frame assembly comprises a frame disposed within a structural foam pad, with the frame assembly having a first attachment member. The vehicle seat assembly comprises a cushion assembly comprising a flexible foam pad supported on a wire frame assembly, with the cushion assembly having second attachment member cooperable with the first attachment member to secure the cushion assembly to the frame assembly. The vehicle seat assembly comprises a seatback secured to the seat bottom.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly including a seat backrest, a seat bottom, and a seat frame having a front member and a rear member. The seat frame operatively supports the seat bottom and further has at least one backrest rotating mechanism that is adapted to allow said seat backrest to move between an upright position and a folded position. The seat frame further has a first pair of linkage attachment points on the front member to allow the rear member of the seat frame to be rotatively lifted upward and forward and move the seat frame from a seating position to a tumbled position. A tumble mechanism has a first and a second linkage arm, and a base plate that is fixedly mounted to the vehicle floor and is operatively disposed between the front member of the seat frame and the vehicle floor. The first and second linkage arms are operatively and pivotably mounted to the front member of the seat frame and are pivotably mounted to the base plate.
