The present disclosure includes a motor bracket including a first body portion, a second body portion, and/or a third body portion that may be configured to receive a drive shaft. The second body portion may be connected to the first body portion via a plurality of connecting members. At least a portion of the third body portion may be disposed inside the second body portion. The first body portion may include a plurality of wings extending in an outward direction from the first body portion. At least one of the plurality of wings may include an accessory aperture. Each wing may include a plurality of endcap apertures. The first body portion may include a substantially L-shaped flange. The flange may include a hooked portion. The first body portion, the second body portion, and/or the third body portion may each have different radii.

An automotive slouch rear seat with improved adjustability is provided including an upper seat back and a lower seat bottom. The upper seat back includes a fixed rear seat back, a pivotal seat back, and a sliding seat back. The pivotal seat back has an upper end and a lower end for connecting to the lower seat bottom. The sliding seat back is slidably engaged to the fixed rear seat back. The sliding seat back is rotatably engaged to the upper end of the pivotal seat back. The lower seat bottom includes a fixed rear seat bottom, and a sliding seat lower. The sliding seat lower is slidably engaged to the fixed rear seat bottom. The sliding seat lower is rotatably engaged to the lower end of the pivotal seat back. Also, an automotive slouch rear seat assembly and a method of assembling a pre-installation automotive slouch rear seat assembly are provided.

A pneumatic seat adjuster for moving a vehicle seat relative to a floor of the vehicle includes a body having a bore formed therein. The body is adapted to be connected to one of a floor and a vehicle seat. A piston is slidably disposed in the bore of the body. The piston and the body define first and second chambers. The piston is adapted to be connected to the other one of the floor and the vehicle seat. The seat adjuster further includes a source of pressurized gas and a valve for selectively supplying pressurized gas from the source into the first and second chambers for altering the pressure differential between the first and second chambers, thereby moving the piston relative to the body.

A seat position sensing device for use in a deployable passenger restraint system for an automotive vehicle has a Hall Effect sensor and a magnetic actuator sensor target facing each other and mounted in corresponding rails used to mount the vehicle seat to the vehicle said rails in moveable relationship to each other. Said seat position sensing device not requiring special hardware to be mounted in external to said seat rails.

A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat back having a frame, and the frame has first and second bolster mounting portions. Each bolster mounting portion has first, second and third receptacles. The seat assembly also includes first and second bolsters selectively engageable with the first and second bolster mounting portions, respectively. Each bolster has first and second posts and is longitudinally adjustable with respect to the seat back between a first longitudinal position and a second longitudinal position. When each bolster is in the first longitudinal position, the first and second posts of the first bolster are respectively engaged with the first and second receptacles of the first bolster mounting portion, and the first and second posts of the second bolster are respectively engaged with the first and second receptacles of the second bolster mounting portion. When each bolster is in the second longitudinal position, the first and second posts of the first bolster are respectively engaged with the second and third receptacles of the first bolster mounting portion, and the first and second posts of the second bolster are respectively engaged with the second and third receptacles of the second bolster mounting portion.

Adjustable seat bolsters

A vehicle seat assembly includes a motor coupled to an output shaft. At least two driven shafts are each operable between three operating modes. The three operating modes are a stationary mode, a first rotational direction, and a second rotational direction. A transmission assembly connects the driven shafts to the output shaft. The transmission assembly is operable to control each of the driven shafts in any one of the three operating modes when the output shaft rotates in the first rotational direction.

Single motor module for a vehicle seat

A vehicle seat includes a seat bottom, a seat back pivotally connected with respect to the seat bottom, a seat track and an oscillating damped energy management device secured between the seat back and the seat bottom. The device includes a damper mechanism having a gear assembly coupled to a damper crank on a secondary gear shaft. Rotation of the damper crank causes an oscillating movement of a damper rod coupled to a damper cylinder. The viscosity of the fluid within the damper cylinder can be selected to vary the energy dampening characteristics of the damper mechanism. The damper mechanism may also include a pair of damper cylinders that can oscillate approximately ninety degrees out of phase with respect to each other to more smoothly control the damped energy during low and high impacts.

Oscillating damped energy management device

A tubular bushing (26) assembly made of plastic material and disposed in an opening (24) defined by a pair of spaced sheets in a seat back (14) of an automotive vehicle to adjustably support each of the posts (22) of a headrest (20). The bushing (26) comprises an outer sleeve (28) presenting ribs (32, 34) for engaging the edges of the opening (24) in each of the sheets of the bracket of the seat back frame (18) and an inner sleeve (30) for insertion within said outer sleeve (28) for slidably supporting the post (22) and having hoop rings (46, 48) for forcing the outer sleeve (28) radially outwardly to deform the ribs (32, 34) about and into gripping engagement with the edges of the openings (24).
