ABSTRACT:
A seat mounting device for use with a vehicle seat (11) has a recliner mechanism (16) that angularly adjusts the seat back (15) with respect to the seat cushion (13) during use and has a forwardly projecting support member which is pivotally supported by a pivot pin (23) for movement of the seat back between use and easy-enter positions. The vehicle seat (11) also has a mounting device (10) that mounts the recliner support member on a movable rail member of a slide mechanism mounted on a vehicular floor. A leg member (17a) connected to the seating device is generally L-shaped and has a right angle connection between its upper and lower ends. The lower end of the leg member (17a) is fastened to the moveable rail (12a) of the slide mechanism (12). The pivot pin (23) is directly welded to the upper end of the leg member (17a) so that loads applied to the seat back (15) are transmitted to the pivot pin (23) through the base member (22) of the reclining mechanism (16) and thence from the pivot pin (23) to the slide mechanism (12) through the leg member (17a) and finally to the vehicular floor.
