Abstract: A system may include a resettable cupholder apparatus. The resettable cupholder apparatus may include a cupholder member and a cantilever spring. The cupholder member may have a cup hole and may include a cupholder member pivot portion having a stowed detent, a deployed detent, and a bearing face positioned between the stowed detent and the deployed detent. The cantilever spring may have a spring bearing face, and the cantilever spring may apply a force to the cupholder member pivot portion. The resettable cupholder apparatus may be in a stowed position when the spring bearing face is located in the stowed detent. The resettable cupholder apparatus may be in a deployed position when the spring bearing face is located in the deployed detent.

Abstract: A seat assembly supports an occupant above a floor having a load floor and is stowable within a recess below the floor. The seat assembly includes a seat cushion extending between a seating surface and a bottom surface. A seat back is pivotally coupled to the seat cushion for movement between a seating position and a forwardly folded dump position overlying the seat cushion. A riser mechanism extends between the bottom surface of the seat cushion and the recess for allowing selective movement of the seat assembly between a seating position to support the occupant above the floor and a stowed position disposed within the recess in the floor. The riser mechanism includes a pair of front legs having a lower end pivotally coupled to the recess within the floor and an upper end pivotally coupled to the seat cushion, and a pair of rear legs having a lower end pivotally coupled to the recess within the floor and an upper end pivotally coupled to the seat cushion.

Abstract: A seat frame assembly is provided for compactly folding a motor vehicle seat. The seat frame assembly includes at least one side frame member. An actuator is operatively coupled to the side frame member. An elongated control arm includes a first end pivotally coupled to the side frame member and an opposite distal end. A control link includes one end pivotally coupled to the side frame member and an opposing end operatively coupled to the distal end of the control arm. A seat cushion linkage assembly is operably coupled between one of the control arm and control link and the actuator for moving each of the control arm and control link between a stowed position generally parallel with and adjacent to the side frame member and a support position spaced from the side frame member in response to actuation of the actuator.

Abstract: A seat frame assembly is provided for compactly folding a motor vehicle seat. The seat frame assembly includes a pair of spaced apart and parallel side frame members defining a vertical plane, and a lower cross member extending between the pair of side frame members. An actuator is pivotally secured to one of the pair of side frame members. A linkage assembly includes first and second link members, which are pivotally secured to one another. The first link member extends between the actuator and the second link member. A control arm is fixedly secured to the second link member and pivotally secured to the lower cross member. When the actuator is pivoted, the control arm moves between a support position extending away from the side frame members and a stowed position co-planar with the side frame members.
