  • VEHICLE SEAT ACTUATION MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20100225151
    Abstract: A seat for use in a vehicle having a seat back pivotably coupled to a seat base by a recliner mechanism such that the seat back can be pivoted in a forward and rearward direction relative the seat base. The seat also includes a track assembly coupled to the vehicle and the seat, such that the seat can be moved in the forward and rearward directions relative to the vehicle interior. The seat also includes an actuator mechanism having a first actuator, a second actuator, and an energy storage device for storing energy generated from movement of the seat and selectively releasing the stored energy to assist in repositioning the seat when at least one of the first actuator and second actuator is actuated. Actuating the first actuator causes the seat to move from a first position to a second position, and actuating the second actuator causes the seat to move from a first position to a third position.
