Abstract
A vehicle seat system includes a vehicle floor, a floor bracket fixedly secured to the vehicle floor, an adjustable upper bracket, and a linkage assembly coupling the floor bracket to the adjustable upper bracket and including two front links and two rear links. The vehicle seat system also includes a seat back bracket coupled to the adjustable upper bracket and configured to travel between an upright position and a reclined position, and a seat bottom bracket coupled to the seat back bracket. As the seat back bracket travels between the upright and reclined positions, each of the two front links travel from one side of a vertical position, through the vertical position, and to the other side of the vertical position such that the vertical distance between the vehicle floor and the seat bottom bracket in the upright and reclined positions are substantially identical.
