Abstract: This invention relates to a vehicle seat track assembly. The assembly comprises a first track member having an upwardly facing bearing surface and a second track member for attachment to a vehicle seat, the second track member having a downwardly facing bearing surface. A cage is disposed between the first track member and the second track member. The cage carries a rolling element that is in rolling engagement with the upper and lower bearing surfaces to provide longitudinal movement of the first track member relative to the second track member. The cage is provided with at least one pad section for engaging at least one of the upwardly and downwardly facing bearing surfaces. In an unloaded state, the at least one pad section separates the upwardly and downwardly facing bearing surfaces from each other by a distance which is greater than the diameter of the rolling element.

Abstract: A seat is provided including a seat body assembly having a seat bottom that is configured for movement between a rear position and a forward position, and a seat back connected to the seat bottom. The seat back may be configured to pivot between a first position and a second position. The seat bottom may be moveable to the forward position when the seat back pivots to the second position. The seat further includes an electric actuator assembly associated with the seat body assembly that permits the seat back to pivot to the second position when the electric actuator assembly is actuated.

Abstract: A seat track assembly having a first track member and a second track member that defines a first recess. A single slide member is disposed between the first and second track members. The slide member additionally has an integral flange extending therefrom wherein the flange is adapted to engage the first recess for fixing the slide member relative to the second track member. The sliding member has a contact surface engaging the second track member and a sliding surface in sliding engagement with the first track member.
