Abstract

A vehicle seat locking system for a slidable support structure for example, a vehicle seat is provided. The locking system comprises a lower rail, an upper rail, a trigger assembly, a release lever assembly, and a towel bar. The lower rail comprises multiple lower rail slots and is fixedly mounted on a base member for example, floor of vehicle. The upper rail is slidably attached to the towel bar, the upper rail is unlocked from the lower rail for enabling fore and aft movement of the vehicle seat relative to the floor of the vehicle.

LOCKING SYSTEM FOR A SLIDABLE SUPPORT STRUCTURE
FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention, in general, relates to¾.a system for adjusting. position of a seat. More particularly, the present invention relates to a slider locking system that enables adjustment of a vehicle seat in a forward direction.'and
• ■n: ''\ ■■ !.) · a rearward direction.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Figure imgf000003_0001
backward and forward movement of the vehicle seat. Moreover, the locking t; .. system must aid in safety of the vehicle. That is, the locking system shquldi bp ' · stable enough, so that in the event of a collision the vehicle? seat should be'able'to, . withstand impact forces that act on the vehicle seat, without leading to damage or ;
I * L dislodging of the vehicle seat.
[0003] Conventional locking systems comprise too many parts rendering th1 em » > bulky and structurally complex. Moreover, the increased number of parts adds to the cost and added difficulties during manufacturing of the locking system. Meiice, , j , there is a need for a locking system that comprises fewer ibomponents !arid is, ,| , compact for reducing the overall size and weight of the lock^^g system. Fuft ierj ■„ , these locking systems have weak locking and also result' ftnlock failure $fieri subjected to high stress. There is a need for a slider lockingisystem that mitigates the drawbacks of the prior art.
[0004] Hence, there is a long felt but unresolved need for a slider locking system that comprises fewer components and has an internal locking mechanism resulting
