A lock including a lock bolt (12) equipped with a locking body (14) of cylindrical overall shape intended to be locked by snap-fitting into a locking orifice (16) of complementary shape made in a striker plate (18). The lock bolt (12) additionally includes an anti-hammer ring (76) surrounding a region of the locking body (14) which, when the lock bolt (12) is locked, is in contact with the periphery of the locking orifice (16). As a preference, the body (14) is equipped with a releasable snap-fitting mechanism including bearing limits (40) for axial bearing which are intended to interact with a first face (36) of the striker plate, and at least one retractable locking ball (42) intended to interact with a second face (38) of the striker plate. When the lock bolt (12) is locked, the anti-hammer ring (76) extends axially between the bearing elements (40) and the ball (42), lying adjacent to the first face (36) of the striker plate.

Lock for fixing a seat of a motor vehicle to a floorpan of the vehicle

The expanding ball-type locking pin device (30, 31, 33) is equipped with a control (40) which comprises a lever (42) which exhibits an operating hand grip (421) and an articulation (422) associated with a casing (20) to allow it to turn about an axis parallel to a given direction (.DELTA.) between an unlocked position and a locked position and which bears a link so as to be able to move the needle (33) between its two positions, and furthermore comprises a safety feature (51, 52, 53, 54) coupled to the lever (42) and intended to interact with an underframe (P) to prevent a seat from being tipped into the opened-out position as long as a lock bolt (30) is not locked onto a striker plate.

Device for the removable fastening to a floor of the underframe of a

The multi-position seat is fitted with linkage rod (50) which comprise a connecting rod assembly (51), a scissor-type stay (52), preferably a biasing urging element (53), as well as limit stops (54) and a stop-piece (55), a cam (56) and also a cam follower (57). These linkage rod provide the automatic control of the relative displacements of the seat part and backrest cushions during changes in their relative positions.

Seat and its application particularly to a vehicle

The seat structure comprises a latching device (60) which is partly carried by one of the brackets (12,22) and partly by the other of these brackets (12,22) for latching in two opposed directions the backrest (20) to the seat (10) when the backrest occupies at least one of two particular positions, namely a 'normal' position and a 'relaxing' position so as to absorb and/or transmit important forces to which the seat structure is subjected in the event of a shock having a large longitudinal component. The latching device is brought into action by a hand control (50) of a locking mechanism. The seat structure is particularly applicable to so-called 'one volume' or 'monospace' vehicles.
