Abstract: A vehicle seat comprising: seatback; a seat bottom mounted pivoting relative to the seatback and a track comprising a fixed element and a mobile element moveable relative to the fixed element. The seat bottom pivots relative to the mobile element of the track. The seatback slides relative to the fixed element of the track. The seatback pivots relative to the fixed element of the track, around the mobile transverse axis. A stop limits the movement of the seatback. The seat bottom is shaped for pulling on the seatback and causing the rotation of the seatback, in case of movement of the mobile element of the track relative to the fixed part once the stop blocks the movement of the seatback.

Abstract: A seat of a vehicle comprising a seat base, fixation means for fixing to the floor of a vehicle, a front connecting rod pivoting along a first axis at the fixation means and along a second axis at the base, a lower rear connecting rod pivoting along a third axis at the fixation means, an upper rear connecting rod pivoting along a fourth axis at the base and along a fifth axis at the lower rear connecting rod, a locking means able to transition: from a locked state, wherein it prevents the rotation of the lower rear connecting rod in relation to the upper rear connecting rod, to an unlocked state, wherein it enables the rotation of the lower rear connecting rod in relation to the upper rear connecting rod, and conversely.

Abstract: A vehicle seat having a seat bottom comprising a ramp and a stop, a slide comprising a first slide segment and a second slide segment, a movable element capable of being moved relative to the slide, the seat bottom being pivotally mounted relative to the movable element about a pivot axis, an articulation member that is stationary relative to the slide member, and a pivoting connecting rod having a first end that is articulated to the articulation member and a second end able to slide against the ramp during the movement of the movable element on the first slide segment, the pivoting connecting rod being shaped to push against the ramp and cause the rotation of the seat bottom during the movement of the movable element on the second slide segment, the second end of the connecting rod bearing against the stop.

Abstract: A vehicle seat comprising: a seat base frame, anchoring means for anchoring to the floor of a vehicle, a backrest pivotably hinged to the seat base frame, a substructure pivotably hinged to the anchoring means and to the backrest, a front connecting rod pivotably hinged to the anchoring means and to the seat base frame, a sector gear pivotably hinged to the anchoring means, an irreversible electric motor configured to cause rotation of the sector gear relative to the anchoring means, a first locking means for locking the rotation of the substructure relative to the anchoring means, a second locking means for locking the rotation of the backrest relative to the substructure, a third locking means for locking the rotation of the front connecting rod relative to the sector gear.

Abstract: A method for assembling a tube into a frame part of a vehicle seat comprises the steps of: i) providing a tube such that a first free end of a first side of an end portion of the tube is offset longitudinally relative to a second free end of a second side of the end portion; ii) providing a frame part in the form of a metal plate; iii) arranging the first and second free ends of the tube in contact with the frame part, in two longitudinally offset areas of contact; and iv) successively creating, by means of a same laser, a weld at the first and second areas of contact.

Abstract: An assembly includes a first part made of composite material including a polymer matrix and a second part made of metal. The two parts are assembled by opposite or assembly faces along an interface subjected to shear loads. The first part is made of a composite having continuous reinforcing fibers in a thermoplastic matrix. The second part includes, on its assembly face, a coupling form having a plurality of patterns. Each pattern has a closed contour in a plane parallel to the assembly face of the second part and extends along a direction normal to the assembly face of the second part. A method for making such an assembly is also provided.
