Abstract: A motorized drive device for a vehicle seat having a squab in particular with raising, the device comprising an actuator and an actuator housing containing a reduction gear, an output member, mounted to rotate about an axis, the output member comprising a peripheral rim, a friction ring mounted around the output member and rotationally integral with the output member, the friction ring comprising a skirt, the actuator housing comprising an inner bearing optionally provided with a plurality of inner radial protrusions for receiving the skirt, the skirt coming into contact at least against the inner bearing in order to generate a continuous friction between the output member forming a rotating part and the inner bearing forming a fixed part.

Abstract: An occupant support includes a vehicle seat mounted to a foundation frame for sliding the vehicle seat longitudinally in a vehicle. The vehicle seat is movable from a slid-back configuration to a forward-seating configuration and may be changed from a horizontal-use configuration to a tilted configuration for easy entry into or exit from a rear row of the vehicle. The vehicle seat may be locked in the tilted configuration.

Abstract: A passenger support apparatus includes a vehicle seat equipped with an easy-entry unit configured to provide easier passenger ingress and egress to an area behind the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat includes a seat bottom with front and rear portions and a seat back extending from the seat bottom. The easy-entry unit includes the seat back and the rear portion of the seat bottom and pivots about a pivot axis between an occupant use position and an access position. A cover assembly is coupled to the vehicle seat and expands and retracts between a stored configuration and a deployed configuration to limit access to an underside of the seat bottom whether the easy-entry unit is in the occupant use position, the access position, or an intermediate position. The vehicle seat can also be configured to slide along a seat support frame between forward and rearward positions.
