Abstract
A seat locking mechanism comprises a plurality of positional brake mechanisms including a longitudinal brake assembly, a lateral brake assembly, and a rotational brake assembly; and an electric motor assembly operably connected to each of the plurality of positional brake mechanisms. The electric motor assembly comprises: a drive motor; a clutch system located between the drive motor and the plurality of positional brake mechanisms; and a solenoid operably connected to the clutch system. The solenoid in operation engages the clutch system to operably connect the electric motor to the plurality of positional brake mechanisms when the electric motor assembly is activated and disengages the clutch system to operably disconnect the electric motor to the plurality of positional brake mechanisms when the electric motor assembly is deactivated. The electric motor assembly in operation moves the plurality of positional brake mechanisms to at least one of a locked position and unlocked position.
