Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The disclosed system employs vehicle seat track assembly including an easy entry system for a vehicle seat, further including a memory system having an adjustment increment compensator which allows for memory system which records displacement by an incremental distance, y, to be employed in a vehicle seat which employees a seat track that allows for fore-aft adjustment by a second incremental distance, x, thereby allowing seat designers and manufacturers to employ a single easy entry memory system on multiple vehicle seat track designs, each of which may have seat tracks which allow fore-aft adjustment at different increments, without modifying the easy entry memory system for each variation in fore-aft adjustment increment. The disclosed compensator also insures that the memory system will be activated even when there is a slight misalignment of the memory module components at the time of activation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An adjustable memory track assembly for a vehicle seat including: at least one lower rail fixedly attached to a vehicle support structure; at least one upper rail fixedly attached to the vehicle seat bottom, and slidably mounted in one of the at least one lower seat rails, whereby movement of the at least one upper seat rail with respect to the at least one lower seat rail facilitates longitudinal movement of the vehicle seat; a track locking system inc…
