The vehicle ftrrther comprises a rotation-locking device having an active state and an inactive state; and a control system for automatically placing the translation-locking device in its inactive state during at least a portion of the displacement of the seat between the in-use position and the storage position.

Vehicle including a retractable sliding seat

The frame of the automobile vehicle seat back comprises a body extending over a general plane and functional components joined to the body, serving notably to attach or reinforce it. It is made in one piece from an overmoulded plastic material that forms the body, reinforced by a reinforcing strip comprising a woven band of mineral and plastic material fibers, the reinforcing strip extending in the general plane of the frame and interconnecting at least two of the functional components comprising inserts at least partially embedded in the body.

Automobile vehicle seat back frame, and process for manufacturing such a frame

The invention relates to a vehicle seat comprising a seat back, a seat proper connected to the seat back, a link mechanism for fastening the seat to the floor, and enabling the seat to move between a retracted position and a deployed position, the mechanism comprising at least a first connecting rod hinged to the floor and to the seat back, and the seat further comprising a guide mechanism comprising a guide fastened to the floor with the bottom portion of the seat back being guided therealong between the retracted position and the deployed position. In the seat, the rear portion of the seat proper is mounted to pivot relative to the bottom portion of the seat back, and the link mechanism further comprises a connection piece mounted to move relative to the floor and hinged to the front portion of the seat proper.

Seat that is retractable into the floor

A vehicle seat comprising a runner made up of a fixed rail fixed to a vehicle floor, and of a moving rail mounted to slide relative to the fixed rail, a front leg having a top end and a bottom end mounted to pivot relative to the vehicle floor, a seat back mounted to pivot relative to the moving rail of the runner, and a seat proper having a front end mounted to pivot on the top end of the front leg. The seat back is mounted to pivot relative to the seat proper, and the seat further comprises at least one locking device adapted to selectively preventing the seat back from pivoting or allowing said seat back to pivot.
