An adjustment mechanism is provided for a seat assembly of an automotive vehicle having a floor. The adjuster mechanism includes a support member, a first leg, a shaft, an arm, a link and a motor. The shaft extends defines a first axis. A first end of the support member is rotatably coupled to the shaft. The first leg has an upper end rotatably coupled to the shaft and a lower end rotatably coupled to the floor for rotation about a second axis. The arm has a distal end extending radially outwardly from the shaft. The link has one end pivotally coupled to the distal end of the arm and an opposite end pivotally coupled to the floor for rotation of the link about a third axis. A motor is drivingly engaged to the shaft via a gear mechanism causing rotation of support member about the first axis, rotation of the first leg about the second axis and rotation of the link about the third axis, whereby the support member is displaced between a seating position and a stowed position.

Gear drive and linkage for power operated seat assembly

A load floor seat assembly for an adjustable seat is disclosed movable from a normal position to a load floor position. A seat base is adapted to be attached to a motor vehicle floor, at least one seat back arm is pivotably mounted to the seat base about a seat back pivot, and a seat back is pivotably attached to the seat back arm about a load floor pivot. A load floor assembly is attached to the seat back so that in the normal position the seat back is generally perpendicular to the seat base, and in the load floor position the seat back is generally parallel with the seat base and rotated about the load floor pivot, so that the load floor assembly covers the seat back and the seat base.
