  • Patent number: 6447066
    Abstract: A device for adjusting a double-jointed seatback by a single control. A seat pan structure is joined on at least one side to a convex toothed sector centered on a first joint. A seatback structure is joined to two arms that extend on either side of a housing. The arms are articulated on a second joint mounted upon the housing, and are joined to a concave toothed sector centered on the second joint. The housing contains an upper toothed locking plate and a lower toothed locking plate. Between the two locking plates, a pivoting cam connects to a single control device. The upper toothed locking plate is joined to a stop arm that extends in the housing towards a semicircular stop located on the lower toothed sector. The semicircular stop is provided to resist the unlocking of the locking plate except when the seatback is in the maximally advanced position.

  • Patent number: 5961088
    Abstract: A device for securing and adjusting the lengthwise position of a removable and reversible seat for a vehicle. The device includes a pair of C-shaped tracks secured to the floor of the vehicle with each track having an upper compartment and a lower compartment. The upper compartment of each track accommodates a slider that is connected to each leg of the seat of the vehicle and includes a locking device having teeth. The slider is displaceable relative to the track so that the slider can be manipulated between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lower compartment accommodates a plate having parallel rows of perforations that are engaged by the teeth of the locking device in the locked position and are released from engagement in the unlocked position. The configuration of the track and slider arrangement provide the device with a strong leg-slider connection as well as good resistance to tearing free from the floor of the vehicle in case of impact.

  • Patent number: 5743596
    Abstract: A safety fixture for a removable vehicle seat of the type having four legs, two front legs and two rear legs. Each leg is equipped with a mobile catch for being affixed to at least one of two transverse rods fixed in the front or rear floor well of a vehicle. Each front leg has a hook-shaped part that interacts with one of the two parallel transverse rods fixed in the front floor well. The catch for the font legs can be returned and unlocked. First and second hook-shaped parts are used simultaneously affix each rear leg to both transverse rods in the rear floor well of the vehicle. The first and second hook-shaped parts are formed on a front and rear catch, respectively. The front catch articulates at the front and toward the base of a common support. The front catch also includes a triangular heel delimited by an upper face stop for immobilizing the rear catch in the locked position and a rear face stop for immobilizing the front catch in the open position.
