Mounting arrangement for an adjustable vehicular seat

Abstract

An adjustable seat includes a seat element which is mounted in a motor vehicle for adjustment of the position thereof on two mounting arrangements each of which is arranged at one lateral region of the seat element and each of which includes a first guide track extending substantially horizontally and associated with the front region of the seat element, a support rail telescopically guided on the first guide track and pivotally connected to the seat element on the free front end thereof, an elongated second guide track inclined upwardly in the forward direction and associated with the back region of the seat element, and a support member connected to the rear region of the seat element and supporting the latter on the second guide track. The first guide track and the second guide track are arranged laterally adjacent one another at the associated lateral region of the seat element. In the frontwardly displaced terminal position, the seat element is pivotable about the pivots which connect the front region of the seat element to the free front end portions of the support rails at the two lateral regions of the seat element. A detachable abutment prevents the seat from reaching its terminal position, unless released. A spring is arranged at a distance from the respective pivot between the support rail and the seat element and supports the latter on the support rail.
