Abstract: A locking slide apparatus (10) for mounting a slidable seat (3) in a vehicle and for facilitating the rearrangement of tandemly disposed seats (1, 2 and 3) is disclosed that has an elongated stationary rail (7) securable to the vehicle floor (4), a slide mechanism (12) adapted to support the seat and to slide along the rail, a lock mechanism (33) to secure the slide mechanism to the rail at selected positions therealong, an operating mechanism (34) to operate the lock mechanism, a seat position sensor mechanism (94) to sense the location of the seat along the rail, and an interlock mechanism (62) to prevent the operation of the lock mechanism if a passenger is occupying the seat.

Abstract: A locking slide apparatus (10) for mounting a seat in a vehicle, the locking slide apparatus including an elongated stationary rail (12) securable to a vehicle floor (11) and having a longitudinally aligned row of lock holes (18) extending vertically therethrough to form a linear rack, an elongated slide mechanism (13) adapted to support a seat thereon and supported by and longitudinally slidable along the stationary rail, and a lock mechanism (15) slidably attached to the slide mechanism and having lock pawls (19) upwardly insertable into and resiliently held in respective lock holes in the stationary rail to prevent the slide mechanism from sliding therealong.

Abstract: A system for attaching the safety belt to a seat in the car is characterized by a recess provided at the side of a seat frame. A free end of the safety belt is fastened to the recess and the other end of the safety belt extends outward through a trim cover which covers a seat portion of the seat.

Abstract: Two brackets are secured at their upper ends to side frames of a seat cushion part of a seat. Each bracket has at its lower end a first engaging portion which interlocks with a second engaging portion which is defined by either one of the vehicle floor and a structure which is disposed between the seat cushion part and the vehicle floor. The interlocking is so made as to permit sliding movement of the first engaging portion relative to the second engaging portion.
