| 20120217782 | SEAT RECLINING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A seat reclining apparatus for a vehicle, includes a first arm, a second arm rotatably supported by the first arm, a pawl including external teeth engageable with internal teeth, a cam portion and plural pawl-side cam surfaces arranged at the cam portion, a cam including a cam surface engaging with the cam portion formed at the pawl, and a biasing member biasing the cam to rotate and causing the cam surface to press the cam portion in a radial direction. The plural pawl-side cam surfaces or the cam surface is configured in a manner that the plural pawl-side cam surfaces and the cam surface are in contact with each other when the external teeth and the internal teeth are in an engaged state and in a manner that clearances generated between each of the plural pawl-side cam surfaces and the cam surface in the radial direction are all uniform. | 08-30-2012 |
| 20130026806 | VEHICLE SEAT LIFTER DEVICE - The seat lifter device for a vehicle includes a lock/unlock device which is formed with an engagement/disengagement mechanism to produce a lock condition in which the relative rotation between a first rotation member and a second rotation member is restricted and an unlock condition in which the relative rotation therebetween is allowed by the engagement/disengagement operation of the engagement/disengagement mechanism such that a detent member movably supported on the first rotation member fixed to the base frame side engages with or disengages from the second rotation member fixed to the rear link member. This seat lifter device can firmly hold the seat lifted position even when an exterior force generated upon a vehicle collision is applied to the engagement/disengagement mechanism through the rear link member. | 01-31-2013 |
| 20130187426 | VEHICLE SEAT RECLINING APPARATUS - Provided is a vehicle seat reclining apparatus comprising: a first bracket, a second bracket, a pole, a cam, a locking urging member, a hinge pin, a fitting hole, a release lever, and a supporting urging member. | 07-25-2013 |
| 20130206951 | VEHICLE SEAT SLIDING APPARATUS - Provided is a vehicle seat sliding apparatus including a lower rail, an upper rail to the lower rail, a locking mechanism, unlocking mechanism, an unlocked-state maintaining lever, and an unlocked-state releasing lever, in which the unlocked-state releasing lever includes a rotational operating portion configured to rotate in a first direction and to be capable of coming into contact with an operating member in the direction of the relative movement of the upper rail, and the unlocked-state releasing lever is configured to press and move the unlocked-state maintaining lever in the direction of releasing the maintenance of the unlocked state and is capable of rotating in the first direction is disabled without moving the unlocked-state maintaining lever from the maintaining position. | 08-15-2013 |
| 20140021322 | SEAT SLIDE APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A seat slide apparatus for a vehicle includes a second unlock mechanism rotating an unlock lever in a direction that unlocks a lock mechanism by pushing the unlock lever in accordance with a predetermined seat operation, an unlocked state retaining lever retaining the lock mechanism in an unlocked state cooperating with the second unlock mechanism by operating in conjunction with the second unlock mechanism, a first unlocked state release mechanism moving the unlocked state retaining lever to a position where the lock mechanism is released from the unlocked state by making contact with an operation body in accordance with movement of an upper rail relative to an lower rail, and a second unlocked state release mechanism moving the unlocked state retaining lever to a position where the lock mechanism is released from the unlocked state by pushing the unlocked state retaining lever in accordance with the operational input. | 01-23-2014 |
| 20140110553 | SEAT APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A seat slide apparatus for a vehicle includes a first rail, a second rail, a lock member, a biasing member, the lock member being rotatably connected to the second rail in a state where a support shaft fixed to one of the second rail and the lock member is positioned within an elongated hole formed at the other of the second rail and the lock member to be movable in first and second directions of the relative movement and is biased by a support shaft biasing member in a direction orthogonal to the first and second directions, and a restriction portion restricting the support shaft from moving within the elongated hole in the first and second directions in a case where a load applied in one of the first and second directions is smaller than a predetermined value. | 04-24-2014 |
| 20140231610 | VEHICLE SEAT SLIDING APPARATUS - A vehicle seat sliding apparatus includes: a first rail fixed to one of a vehicle floor and a seat and having first vertical wall portions, a first connection wall portion connecting base ends of the first vertical wall portions, and flanges; a second rail fixed to the other one of the vehicle floor and the seat and having second vertical wall portions, a second connection wall portion connecting base ends of the second vertical wall portions, outward extending wall portions, and extending wall portions; balls interposed in a rollable manner between second ball guides provided to the outward extending wall portions in inner portions in the width direction and first ball guides provided to the first connection wall portion; and an attaching portion disposed at a tip end of the first connection wall portion. | 08-21-2014 |
| 20140232157 | VEHICLE SEAT SLIDING APPARATUS - A vehicle seat sliding apparatus includes: a first rail fixed to one of a vehicle floor and a seat and having first vertical wall portions, a first connection wall portion, and flanges; and a second rail fixed to the other one of the vehicle floor and the seat and having second vertical wall portions, a second connection wall portion, outward extending wall portions, and extending wall portions, wherein locking claws are aligned side by side at tip ends of the flanges of the first rail; the second rail is provided with through-holes; the vehicle seat sliding apparatus further includes, a locking member having locking portions, and a biasing member; and the outward extending wall portions are provided with flat portions. | 08-21-2014 |
| 20140284989 | VEHICLE SEAT RECLINING DEVICE - A vehicle seat reclining device includes first and second brackets, which are rotational relative to each other, two guide portions provided on the first bracket and forming a guide groove, a pawl, and a protruding portion. The pawl has outer teeth, which can engage with and disengage from inner teeth of the second bracket, and is guided by the guide groove to move radially. The protruding portion protrudes circumferentially at least at the tip end portion of the guide portion. A fulcrum of inclination of the pawl with respect to the guide part may occur at the time when the outer teeth and the inner teeth are disengaged from each other. The fulcrum located at a position closer to the inner teeth than an intersection point between the guide portion and a normal to a surface where the outer teeth and the inner teeth are engaged with each other. | 09-25-2014 |
