  • Remote release seat with damped forward folding
    Patent number: 9308840
    Abstract: A seat includes a seat base and a seat back that is connected to the seat base by a hinge mechanism for movement between a seating position and a folded forward position. The seat back closes an opening between the passenger compartment and the trunk compartment in the seating position and uncovers the opening in the folded forward position. A spring is operatively connected to the seat back to bias the seat back to the folded forward position. A damper is connected to the seat back that limits the speed that the seat back is folded forward as a result of the biasing force exerted by the spring on the seat back.
