A locking adjustable seat assembly for use in motor vehicles such as van conversions, motorhomes, and other recreational vehicles that allows the seat to be adjusted in the fore and aft direction and then locked into place. The seat assembly disclosed herein conforms to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is lightweight yet stronger, stiffer, and much more able to withstand a crash than traditional designs. The present invention utilizes a pair of mounting brackets formed from a pair of spaced apart sidewalls that include slots for supporting the sliding seat frame. The assembly includes a locking mechanism that engages a locking pin disposed between the side wall brackets, and adjusts to and automatically locks in a number of predetermined positions.

Locking adjustable seat

The invention is directed to a seat-bed assembly movable between a seat position and a bed position, and including a seat support, a back support, and a frame having a horizontal support member. A plurality of links, including a first link and a second link, interconnect the seat support and the back support with the frame. The links support the seat support and the back support for movement between the seat position and the bed position. Each of the first link and the second link have one end thereof with an opening therein. The horizontal support member has an upper surface and includes two side plates. An elongated opening extends downwardly from the upper surface. Each side plate has a first guide channel associated with the first link and a second guide channel associated with the second link. A first pin extends through the first link opening and each first guide channel, and a second pin extends through the second link opening and each second guide channel.

Seat-bed assembly

A bracket for mounting a headrest assembly to a vehicle seat frame. The headrest bracket includes a pair of spaced housing parts connected by one or more cross members to define a central recess part. The cross members may be integral parts of the top and bottom walls of each housing part. When mounted to the upper cross bar of the seat frame, the cross member overlies the cross bar. The recess part allows the center springs or other support members to be connected to the upper cross bar through. The recess part may have an opening to allow the supports to be connected directly to the cross bar.

Headrest bracket

An improved seat-bed extender assembly for a convertible seat-bed. The assembly includes an attachable platform and corresponding linkage to allow conversion to a full-sized bed in conjunctive relation with a convertible seat and for operation of the platform independently of the seat.

Seat-bed extender

A convertible seat-bed includes a pair of plates pivotally connected to the seat support and back support of the seat-bed. An arm is pivotally connected between the pivot plates and acts as a control link.

Convertible seat-bed

An improved seat-bed assembly which includes seat and back supports associated with a linkage and a motor to convert the assembly from seat form to a bed. The seat support may be raised when in the seat position to allow articles to be stored beneath the seat support.

Power actuated seat-bed assembly

An improved seat-bed assembly for a vehicle. The assembly includes seat, back and extender supports and corresponding linkage to allow conversion from seat form to a full-sized bed.

Vehicle seat-bed extender

This invention relates to convertible seat-bed assemblies. More particularly it relates to such seat-bed assemblies having linkage means supporting the seat and back supports from a base structure for movement between a seating position and a bed position. Because of the use of simple linkage only, this invention is more economical to manufacture and lighter in weight than the prior art convertible seat-beds.
