Definitions

  • the invention relates to a seat track assembly for an automotive vehicle. More particularly, this invention relates to a keeper assembly for selectively decoupling a towel bar when a predetermined load is applied to the towel bar.
  • a seat adjuster or seat track assembly is used for selectively adjusting the fore aft position of a seat assembly in a motor vehicle.
  • the typical seat track assembly includes a first fixed seat track that is fixed to a vehicle structure, such as a floor, and a second movable seat track that is slidably supported on the first track for sliding movement relative to the first track.
  • a seat cushion of the seat assembly is mounted to the second track such that sliding movement of the second track relative to the first track allows adjustment of the seat assembly fore and aft with respect to the vehicle.
  • the adjustment of the seat assembly is controlled by a manual seat adjuster.
  • the manual seat adjuster provides fore and aft adjustment of the seat assembly through the use of a towel bar or other handle to engage and disengage a latch that selectively locks the seat tracks together.
  • the towel bar typically has a handle portion which is located at the front of the seat assembly, directly below the seat cushion.
  • the towel bar is typically pivotally connected to the sliding track at a point that is located rearward of the handle portion, under the seat cushion.
  • the latch has teeth which engage slots spaced along the length of the fixed track. When an operator pulls upward on the handle of the towel bar, the towel bar pivots and the latch is urged out of engagement with the fixed track, which permits fore and aft adjustment of the seat assembly.
  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,046,698; 5,741,000; 6,322,036 and publication No. US 2005-0285005 A1 are examples of a prior art seat track assemblies.

  • Each track mechanism 12 , 14 includes a fixed track 18 that is adapted to be mounted to the floor 16 and a movable track 20 slidingly engaging the fixed track 18 .
  • the fixed 18 and movable 20 tracks define a longitudinal axis 22 .
  • the movable track 20 is adjustable relative to the fixed track 18 along the longitudinal axis 22 for moving the seat assembly fore and aft within the vehicle.
  • An actuator, generally indicated at 24 extends between the spaced apart track mechanisms 12 , 14 .
  • the actuator 24 allows a seat occupant to adjust the seat assembly fore and aft by lifting or pulling upward on the actuator 24 which is located below a seat cushion (not shown) of the seat assembly.
  • the actuator 24 is a towel bar.
  • the towel bar 24 includes laterally spaced apart first 26 and second 28 legs.
  • the first leg 26 is disposed adjacent to the track mechanism 12 and extends between a proximal end 30 and a distal end 32 .
  • the proximal end 30 of the first leg 26 is pivotally coupled to the movable track 20 about a pin (not shown).
  • the second leg 28 is disposed adjacent to the track mechanism 14 and extends between a proximal end 34 and a distal end 36 .
  • the proximal end 34 of the second leg 28 is pivotally coupled to the movable track 20 about a pin 38 .
  • the towel bar 24 also includes a central handle portion 40 extending laterally between the distal ends 32 , 36 of the first 26 and second 28 legs.
  • the towel bar 24 is operatively connected to a pair of latches, generally indicated at 42 , 44 . While in a preferred aspect, the actuator 24 has been described above as being a towel bar 24 , it is contemplated that the actuator 24 may be any device or mechanism that could be utilized to effect movement of the latches 42 , 44 .
  • a first keeper assembly extends between the first leg 26 of the towel bar 24 and the latch 42 .
  • a second keeper assembly extends between the second leg 28 of the towel bar 24 and the latch 44 . The attachment of the first 46 and second 48 keeper assemblies to the first 26 and second 28 legs of the towel bar 24 results in the latches 42 , 44 being operatively connected to the towel bar 24 .
  • the second keeper assembly 48 includes a rigid upper portion 50 and a generally C-shaped, flexible lower portion 52 .
  • the upper portion 50 is fixedly coupled to the latch 44 .
  • the lower portion 52 is releasably coupled to the second leg 28 of the towel bar 24 . More specifically, the lower portion 52 extends between a first end 54 and a second end 56 defining an axial passageway 58 along a longitudinal axis 60 .
  • the second leg 28 extends through the axial passageway 58 and is retained therein by the lower portion 52 .
  • the lower portion 52 includes a first C-shaped arm 62 and a second C-shaped arm 64 , positioned in a face to face relation, having spaced apart and opposing bottom edges 66 , 68 .
  • the bottom edges 66 , 68 define an opening or gap therebetween, generally shown at 70 .
  • the first 46 and second 48 keeper assemblies are formed from a flexible plastic material in the current embodiment, it is appreciated that the particular material for the first 46 and second 48 keeper assemblies may vary without varying from the scope of the invention.
  • the latch 44 includes a first end 72 and a second end 74 .

  • the first 26 and second 28 legs pivot relative to the respective track mechanisms 12 , 14 , toward the bottom of the seat cushion.
  • the upward movement of the towel bar 24 presses the first 26 and second 28 legs against an upper portion of the lower portion 52 of the respective first 46 and second 48 keeper assemblies, which in turn moves the latches 42 , 44 to the unlocked position.
  • the teeth 76 of each of the latches 42 , 44 are out of engagement with the windows in the fixed tracks 18 .
  • the movable tracks 20 are free to slide with respect to the fixed tracks 18 , thereby permitting fore and aft adjustment of the seat assembly.
  • the first 26 and second 28 legs pivot in a locking direction relative to the respective track mechanisms 12 , 14 , toward the floor 16 .
  • the downward loading of the towel bar 24 presses the first 26 and second 28 legs against the first 62 and second 64 arms of the lower portion 52 of the respective first 46 and second 48 keeper assemblies.
  • the flexible nature of the lower portion 52 allows the first 62 and second 64 arms to deflect outward, increasing the size of the opening 70 , as shown in FIG. 3 .
