| Summary: | The invention relates to a vehicle seat and more particularly, to a mechanism for allowing a seat bottom to slide and move forward when the seat back is tilted, thereby enlarging the opening or access aperture to a rear seat or compartment.
A seat displacement mechanism for a seat, such as a vehicle seat, which includes a seat back that is attached to a seat bottom such that it may be folded about a horizontal axis and locked in the a position. The seat bottom is connected, for height adjustment, by means of front and rear linkages mounted in pairs, at least one pair of which is attached, proximate one end of the linkage to an upper rail. A portion of the upper rail is provided with a longitudinal guide area to which the lower end of a linkage may be mounted so that the linkage may move longitudinally or slide relative to a seat base. A linkage may be locked in its rearward position with respect to the upper rail, preventing seat movement. |
