Patent number: 7677656Abstract: A center seat console that moves between a forward position between front seats, an intermediate position, and a rear position between rear seats is disclosed. The seat/console may function as a seat in the rear seat position, or in the intermediate position. In the intermediate position, the seat/console in the seat configuration may advantageously be used to support a child safety seat. The seat/console may also be configured as a console in either the rear seat, intermediate, or front seat positions. The seat/console is provided with an adjustable height support that permits the seat/console to be lowered to fit beneath arm rests assembled to the front seats when it is desired to place the console between the front seats.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Mohammad Saberan, James Klein, Brian D.

Patent number: 7588282Abstract: An automotive vehicle seat includes a seat back and a seat bottom. The seat back and seat bottom are carried by bracketry. The seat back is foldable relative to the seat bottom. As the seat back folds toward the seat bottom, the seat bottom moves away from a rear of the bracketry. Once folded, the seat back, seat bottom and bracketry may tumble toward a front of a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: David Kolena, Daniel Kirk, Artur W.

Patent number: 7255384Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly is attached to a floor attachment bracket by pivoted front and rear leg assemblies is disclosed. A seat base frame, the floor attachment bracket and the front and rear leg assemblies form a four bar link that support the seat assembly on a floor pan of a vehicle. The floor pan defines a stowage well in which the seat assembly may be selectively stored. The four bar link may be rotated to a limited extent when the seat back frame is in its normal seating position to provide a tip and kneel position. In the tip and kneel position the seat is disposed intermediate the seating position and fully stowed position with the seat back upright to provide improved ingress and egress to areas of the vehicle behind the seat assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2005Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Mohammad Saberan, James Klein, David Kolena, Brian D.

Patent number: 6857698Abstract: A vehicle seat frame assembly that includes inboard and outboard generally vertical side members that define outer surfaces. The assembly also has a separate first spacer bracket attached to the outboard side member and has a first contact surface spaced apart from the outer surface of the outboard side member. A separate second spacer bracket is attached to the inboard side member and has a first contact surface spaced apart from the outer surface of the inboard side member. A vehicle seat assembly that includes a center console frame member and a vehicle seat. The seat has a seat frame with a pair of vertical side members and a first and second spacer bracket attached to each of the vertical side members. The first spacer bracket is positioned on an inboard side of the seat frame, with the inboard spacer bracket extending towards the center console frame member.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2003Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Mohammad Saberan, Gerald S.

Patent number: 4871783Abstract: Modified polyols having the formula R.sub.m SiXx.sub.4-m wherein m=1 to 3, X is an alkoxy group and at least one R group is either HS--R.sup.1 -- or HS--(SiR.sup.2.sub.2 O).sub.n -- are described. The modified polyols, when mixed with base polyol, are used in the manufacture of graft polymer polyols having low viscosity and good filtrability. The graft polymer polyol can be used in the manufacture of polyurethane foam.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1988Date of Patent: October 3, 1989Assignee: BP Chemicals LimitedInventors: Rudolphe C. Cloetens, Werner A. Lidy, Brian D. Phillips, David B. Thomas

Patent number: 4843106Abstract: Fluid polymer polyol dispersions which impart improved fire resistance to polyurethane foam. The fluid polymer polyol dispersions are prepared by grafting one or more monomers onto a polyol backbone with the difference that the grafting takes place in the presence of a flame retardant. During the grafting process the flame retardant is incorporated into the fluid polymer polyol dispersion. When such fluid polymer polyol dispersions are used, the fire resistance of the final polyurethane foam is improved relative to cases where a conventional fluid polymer polyol dispersion and a flame retardant are added separately to the polyurethane foam formulation.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 1988Date of Patent: June 27, 1989Assignee: BP Chemicals LimitedInventors: Joelle Y. Fis, Werner A. Lidy, Brian D. Phillips, David B. Thomas
