Abstract: A releasable anchorage device for securing seats to tracks in vehicle floors has an elongate body with a fixed, non-slidable downward protrusion at its front end, an actuating lever at its rear end, and sets of slidable securing feet movable relative to the protrusion by the lever operating via an actuating mechanism. The mechanism includes an elongate drive rod connecting the lever to a middle set or front set of the feet which have an anti-rattle mechanism to grip the track, such as by longitudinally-inclined upper surfaces thereon. A rear set of feet may also be slidable and can move together with the middle feet. The lever is easily accessible, being at the rear end, but operates to provide an anti-rattle engagement with the track at an intermediate point along the device, spaced from the rear end, where the prevention of rattling is particularly needed.

Abstract: Anchorage device for an anchorage system, especially for vehicle seats, using a floor track having a longitudinal channel whose opening has opposed lips with a series of periodic circular cut-outs, the anchorage device has enlarged slidable feet which are insertable into the opening of the track channel at the cut-outs, and when slid along are held captive beneath the lips of the track. A releasable locking mechanism is provided for locking the device longitudinally to the track, so that the feet can be held in the captive position. Preferably, the device has an elongate body, with the locking mechanism operated by a lever at one end. The top surfaces of at least some of the feet are longitudinally inclined relative to the longitudinal direction. When slid to the captive position they come into contact or near contact with the underside of the track lips, reducing or preventing rattle relative to the track.

Abstract: Anchorage devices are disclosed for use in an anchorage system, especially for vehicle seats, using a floor track having a longitudinal channel whose opening has opposed lips with a series of periodic circular cut-outs. The anchorage device has enlarged slidable feet (104) which are insertable into the opening of the track channel at the cut-outs, and when slid along are held captive beneath the lips of the track. A releasable locking mechanism is provided for locking the device longitudinally to the track, so that the feet (104) can be held in the captive position. Preferably the device has an elongate body, with the locking mechanism operated by a lever at one end. The top surfaces (143) of at least some of the feet (104) are longitudinally inclined relative to the longitudinal direction. When slid to the captive position they come into contact or near contact with the underside of the track lips, reducing or preventing rattle relative to the track.
