ABSTRACT:
A manually-operable automotive seat adjustment mechanism equipped with a traveling seat belt buckle anchor arrangement is disclosed. The traveling seat belt buckle anchorage arrangement is adapted to transfer vertically directed separation loads imparted on the seat belt buckle through a sliding hook-type load bracket and into the vehicle floor pan via a specially configured stationary riser. The riser is configured to maintain an interlocked relationship with respect to the sliding load bracket throughout the entire range of longitudinal fore and aft seat adjustment. In addition, the seat belt buckle anchorage arrangement includes an elongated reinforcement bracket secured to the sliding load bracket for sliding longitudinal movement therewith and which is adapted to inhibit excessive pivotable excursions of the seat belt anchor. Finally, the present structure includes a reinforced latching mechanism including primary and secondary shear plates releasably engageable with a pivotable locking arm for permitting selective fore and aft seat adjustment and which is operable for transferring shear loads to the vehicle's floor pan through the stationary riser.
