Patent number: 12489263Abstract: A track assembly, comprising a track, a track electrical connector movably connected to the track, and a support assembly slidably connected to the track. The support assembly includes a support assembly electrical connector connectable with the track electrical connector, a latch selectively engageable with the track electrical connector, and an actuator including at least one of a lever, an actuator cable, or a handle. The actuator is operably coupled with the latch to selectively disengage the latch from the track electrical connector. The track electrical connector is movable with the support assembly and relative to the support assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2023Date of Patent: December 2, 2025Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Patrick Faye, Julien Iecker

Publication number: 20240262263Abstract: An adjustable vehicle seat transitions from a base position to an elevated position to a highly reclined zero-gravity position. A single motor controls movement through these three positions. Between the base position and the elevated position, an orientation of the vehicle seat changes very little. An eccentric gearing mechanism is proposed to move the seat between the three positions. In one embodiment, a compensator absorbs the planetary motion of the eccentric gearing mechanism such that motion is smoother.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2023Publication date: August 8, 2024Inventors: Patrick Faye, Antoine Moulin, Clement Chantre

Patent number: 8016341Abstract: A motor vehicle seat comprises a backrest (3), a seating surface (2) connected to the backrest (3) by a pivotable connection (P1) and to the vehicle floor by a front leg support (P2). The inventive stowable seat also comprises a swing arm (7) connected to the backrest and the floor by two pivot joints (P4,P5), wherein the seat is movable between an unfolded state when the seating surface (2) is substentially parallel to the floor, the backrest (3) is in a substentially vertical position and, each swing arm (7) is placed in the backrest (3) extension, thereby enabling it to be upwardly displaced and a folded state when the backrest (3) is folded substantially horizontally onto the seating surface (2).Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2005Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignees: Grupo Antolin-Ingenieria, Peugeot Citroen AutomobilesInventors: Jean Duchateau, Patrick Faye, Jean Claude Aumond, Pascal Kliminowski

Patent number: 6971700Abstract: This seat (1) has a mechanism comprising: a link rod called the transmission link rod (16) rotationally connected, at one of its ends, to the backrest (3), and a link rod called the bearing link rod (17) rotationally connected, at one of its ends, to the vehicle structure, these two link rods (16, 17) being rotationally connected to one another at their second end, the rotation of the backrest (3) towards the seat part (2) causing the bearing link rod to rotate into a fixed position in which the link rod bears against a stop that is fixed with respect to the vehicle structure, then the seat (1) to move into a predetermined position owing to the transmission, via the transmission link rod (16), of the rotational movement of the backrest (3) into a translational movement of the seat (1).Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2004Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Assignee: Grupo Antolin-Ingenieria, S.A.Inventors: Vincent Blanger, Patrick Faye, Jean-Pierre Chabanne
