ABSTRACT:
A support assembly for a vehicle seat, including a first slide mechanism adapted to be mounted under one side of the seat, a second slide mechanism adapted to be mounted under a seat opposite said first slide mechanism, and a lock connecting the first and second slide mechanisms. The first and second slide mechanisms include a support defining a track and a bracket slidable along the track in the directions of relative motion parallel to one another. The lock includes a first and second series of stations fixed with respect to the respective supports and first and second latches pivotally mounted to respective seat brackets which are engageable with said series of stations. The latches are pivotably mounted about a first and second axis of rotation external their respective slide mechanisms parallel to one another. A mechanical actuator connected to the lock, including a portion extending outboard of the first outboard side of the assembly, such that movement of the portion of the actuator in the direction toward the first outboard side moves the lock between an unlocked position and a unlocked position.
