Seat apparatus for vehicle

A seat reclining apparatus for a vehicle includes first, second, and third gear mechanisms, each gear mechanism including a first frame having an internal gear and a second frame having an external gear engaging with the internal gear, the number of teeth of the external gear being fewer than the internal gear, wherein the first gear mechanism is provided at one side of a vehicle seat, and the second and third gear mechanisms are provided at the other side, a shaft connecting the first gear mechanism with the second and third gear mechanisms, and an electric motor rotating the shaft to shift an engagement position between the internal gear and the external gear for tilting the seatback relative to the seat cushion, wherein the electric motor is disposed at one of the first frame and the second frame of the first gear mechanism provided at the one side.

Seat reclining apparatus for vehicle

A seat device for a vehicle comprises a lower rail fixed on the vehicle floor so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, an upper rail mounted to the lower rail so as to be slidable and supporting a seat body, a first lock mechanism for locking the upper rail at a first position to the lower rail and a second lock mechanism being locked for limiting the upper rail at a predetermined position so as not to move further back than the predetermined position when the upper rail is unlocked by means of the first lock mechanism, the second lock mechanism being unlocked when the upper rail is locked by means of the first lock mechanism.

Seat device for vehicle

A seat slide device comprises a lower rail fixed to a vehicle floor, an upper rail supporting a seat, a lock and unlock mechanism including a main lock plate and a sub lock plate for maintaining the upper rail so as to be slidable on the lower rail, the main lock plate rotatably supported by a first bracket fixed to the upper rail, the sub lock plate rotatably supported by a second bracket fixed to the upper rail, an engaging hole formed on the lower rail, and a claw portion formed on the sub lock plate so as to contact to an upper surface of the engaging hole in order to press down the upper rail.

Seat slide device

A slide rail structure of a vehicle for sliding a seat relative to a vehicle floor can include a rail member having an upper opening portion, a slide member, and cover members disposed on the rail member. The rail member can also include lateral portions, upper portions and downward extending portions. Each of the cover members can include a fixed portion and a cover portion. The fixed portion further can include an attaching portion attached to the rail member, and a protruding portion that protrudes into the upper opening portion. The cover portion can be positioned upward of and spaced apart from the protruding portion, so as to normally cover the upper opening portion of the rail member without contacting the protruding portion. The cover portion can also contact the protruding portion so as to be restricted from being deformed downward when the cover portion is moved downward.
