  • Patent number: 10960791
    Abstract: A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat base operably coupled with a seatback and an anchor housing operably coupled with one of the seat base and the seatback. The anchor housing includes a body defining a cavity and a slot in communication with the cavity. First and second sidewalls of the body define first and second receiving wells, respectively. A cam includes first and second arms that include first and second protrusions, respectively. The first and second protrusions are configured to be received by the first and second receiving wells, respectively. The cam is positioned within the cavity of the body and is rotatable between an open position and a closed position. An anchor extends between the seat base and the seatback and is operably coupled with the anchor housing when the cam is in the closed position.
