ABSTRACT:
A front seat assembly (10), comprising first and second seats, is to be installed as a unit into a vehicle (12). A plurality of brackets (18) and (20) are attached to fixed rails (16) for attachment to the vehicle (12) and for interconnecting the fixed rails (16) of the two seats making up the front seat assembly (10). A slide rail (24) is supported by each of the fixed rails (16) for fore and aft movement relative to the fixed rails (16) and a pair of front (28) and rear (30) cross beams interconnect the slide rails (24) for supporting all of the remaining components of each seat. The rear cross beam (30) has an triangular cross section and a seat back (34) is supported on the rear cross beam (30) by flanges (32) having an triangular opening (36) complementary to and surrounding the rear cross beam (30). A support sheet (40) extends between and is supported by the cross beams (28) and (30) and a seat pan (42) is disposed above the support sheet (40) for supporting an occupant. A rear bladder (44) and a front bladder (46) are disposed between the sheet (40) and the pan (42) for raising and lowering the respective back and front of the pan (42) relative to the sheet (40) for adjusting the position of the seat. A stylized seat bottom trim (60) is supported on the pan (42) and a stylized back trim (62) is supported on the seat back frame (34). A center console (70) is supported on the frame members (20) between the first and second seat assemblies and a cover (68) is disposed over each of outside and laterally disposed pair of fixed (16) and slide (24) rails.
