ABSTRACT:
An adjustable sling seat for a motor vehicle occupant compartment defined by a floor and an overhead roof structure. A flexible webbing has its forward end connected to a webbing storage roller assembly rotatably supported about a transverse axis on a floor mounted front anchorage mechanism while the webbing aft end is connected to a roof mounted rear anchorage mechanism. The webbing slack length, suspended between the front and rear anchorage mechanisms, defines a forward seat cushion surface portion and an aft seat back surface portion. A roller take-up spring clutch includes a pintle member, aligned on the roller axis, pivotally connecting one end of the roller to a clutch rotary control knob. Turning the knob rotates the roller in either direction, for shortening or lengthening the slack length, thereby either raising or lowering the seat cushion surface portion. The front anchorage mechanism includes a roller assembly bracket, pivoted to a floor mounted base, wherein a latching arrangement acting between the roller pivot bracket and the base enables the bracket to be unlatched for forward and aft arcuate adjustment of the roller assembly. The rear anchorage mechanism is operable by the seat occupant to slidably vary the webbing aft end connection, thereby adjusting the position and angle of inclination of the seat back surface portion. The webbing storage roller cylindrical wall, covered by padding material subjacent the webbing, provides an adjustable cushioned leg rest for the seat occupant.
