Abstract:
The present invention provides for an automotive vehicle seat assembly allowing for fold flat functionality as well as sliding capabilities along a track located within the automotive vehicle. The seating assembly further including a plate. The seating assembly includes a handle bracket having an abutting edge, a biasing member connected to the handle bracket, and a planar bracket having a first end and a second end. The first end of the planar bracket having a stopper which abuts the abutting edge when in contact. The second end of the planar bracket operable to connect to a cable wherein the cable connects to a release mechanism allowing for movement of the seat assembly along the vehicle track. Sliding forward motion of the seat assembly is created when the handle bracket is rotated forward wherein the abutting edge contacts the stopper at the first end of the planar bracket, the planar bracket then rotates about a pivot point thereby pulling the cable and releasing a mechanism to allow for travel of the vehicle seat assembly. The fold flat functionality of the seat assembly occurs when the handle bracket is rotated upwards and the abutting edge travels over the stopper at the first end of the planar bracket thereby not activating the cable however still folding the seat back to a generally perpendicular position of the overall vehicle seat assembly.
