Arms and an elongated link of the height control mechanism are arranged outside the side member

Vehicle seat

An inertia locking system for a vehicle seat is disclosed. The seat has a C-shaped leg portion. The inertia locking system includes a pedestal mounted on the vehicle floor. The pedestal has an oblique, upwardly facing U-shaped receiving port for receiving the leg portion. A U-shaped clip having a second opening is provided for also receiving the leg portion. The second opening faces obliquely upward and has a width slightly narrower than the diameter of the lower section of the leg portion. A latch having an inverted J-shape has a lower base portion, a curved upper portion, and a jaw portion. The latch is pivotally supported at the lower base portion to a side portion of the pedestal and spring biased away from the receiving port. The curved upper portion faces the receiving port and the jaw portion protrudes beyond an inner surface of the receiving port.
