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 parallel to one another. An actuator comprising a pivot shaft is connected to the first latch and is rotatably secured within a mount so as to be rotatable about a third axis of rotation which is perpendicular to the first axis of rotation. A handle is provided extending opposite the second track from the first track to avoid possible injury from use of the assembly.
