  • Patent number: 9393881
    Abstract: A track set includes a memory assembly that is operable to an engaged state to set a user-selected position. When the memory assembly is in an engaged state and in the user-selected position, the memory assembly resists movement of a first rail relative to a second rail in an aft direction. When the memory assembly is in the engaged state and in the user-selected position and the second rail moves in a fore direction relative to the first rail, the memory assembly is displaced in the aft direction relative to the second rail to a first position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8408631
    Abstract: An adjustable memory track assembly for a vehicle seat has a lower rail adapted to be secured relative to a vehicle frame, and an upper rail adapted to support the seat for fore/aft sliding movement relative to the lower rail. The adjustable memory track assembly also has a track lock assembly operable via a first actuator between a locked, engaged state wherein relative movement between the lower and upper rails is resisted, and an unlocked, disengaged state wherein the seat can be slid to and then locked in a user-selected position. A memory module is operable via a second actuator to record the user-selected position. The second actuator is also operatively connected to disengage the track lock assembly to allow forward movement of the seat from the user-selected location to a forward location, and thereafter allow rearward movement of the seat back to, but not past, the user-selected location.
