ABSTRACT:
An automotive seat with a suspension device has an X-shaped link mounted between an upper seat frame and lower floor frame. The X-shaped link is equipped with a seat belt anchor and a sublink link slideably connected between one of the link members of the X-shaped links and the lower floor frame. The sublink has an elongated hole at one of its ends which is slideably engaged to a pin on one of the link members of the X-shaped links. The other end of the sublink is pivotally connected to the lower floor frame. When a force is exerted on the seat belt anchor, it is transmitted through the sublink directly to the floor, thereby preventing damage or deformation of the suspension device. Further, when the suspension is contracted, the X-shaped link and the sublink are hidden behind the upper and the lower frames thereby creating a suspension device with a very low profile.
