ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat includes a seat cushion assembly for supporting an occupant seated thereon and a seat back cushion assembly for supporting the back of an occupant seated on the seat cushion assembly. A first mounting assembly is constructed and arranged to mount the seat cushion assembly on a vehicle floor and a second mounting assembly is provided which is constructed and arranged to mount the seat back cushion assembly on the seat cushion assembly. An adjusting mechanism is operatively embodied in one of the first and second mounting assemblies and is constructed and arranged to enable the cushion assembly mounted by the one mounting assembly to be moved in opposite directions through a range of adjustable positions with respect to the assembly on which the one mounting assembly mounts the cushion assembly. The adjusting mechanism also includes a locking and releasing device. A vehicle crash sensing system is operatively connected with the adjusting mechanism and is constructed and arranged to provide control of the movement of the cushion assembly mounted by the one mounting assembly in response to the sensing of a crash condition which occurs while said locking device is in the releasing position.
