  • Seat track latch anti-rattle release wire
    Patent number: 4958799
    Abstract: A vehicle seat structure is mounted on right and left track assemblies whereby the seat is longitudinally adjustable. A release wire interconnects right and left latch mechanisms such that upon a handle bar unlocking the right mechanism the left mechanism is similarly unlocked in a master-slave manner. An improved release wire attaching arrangement is provided imparting a predetermined twisting torque to the wire that its integral hair-pin end connectors are each resiliently biased into rattle-free positive contact with its associated latch mechanism mounting.
