Abstract
A track assembly includes a first track having a first support extending from a first surface of the first track. The first support includes a first curved end. The track assembly includes a second track slidably coupled to the first track. The second track includes a second support extending from a second surface of the second track. The second support includes a second curved end. The first support and the second support are positioned such that the second curved end interfaces with the first curved end.
Claims19
A track assembly for mounting a seat within a vehicle, the track assembly comprising:
- a first track having a first support extending from a first surface, the first support having a first curved end;
- and
- a second track slidably coupled to the first track, the second track having a second support extending from a second surface, the second support having a second curved end;
- wherein the first support and the second support are positioned such that the second curved end interfaces with the first curved end;
- wherein the first support extends a first longitudinal length along the first surface;
- and
- wherein the second support extends a second longitudinal length along the second surface that is different than the first longitudinal length, and wherein the first support extends at a downward sloping angle;
- and the second support extends at an upward sloping angle.
A track assembly for mounting a seat within a vehicle, the track assembly comprising:
- a first track having a first support extending from a first surface, the first support having a first free end;
- a second track slidably coupled to the first track, the second track having a second support extending from a second surface, the second support having a second free end;
- wherein the first surface and the second surface are at opposing lateral sides of the track assembly;
- wherein the first support and the second support are positioned such that the second free end is disposed above the first free end;
- wherein the first support extends at a downward sloping angle;
- and
- wherein the second support extends at an upward sloping angle.
A track assembly for mounting a seat within a vehicle, the track assembly comprising:
- a first track;
- a latch assembly coupled to the first track, the latch assembly including a latch;
- and
- a second track slidably coupled to the first track, the second track having a support coupled to an inner surface of the second track and extending at an upward sloping angle, the support defining an interface;
- wherein the latch is configured to engage with the interface of the support to at least partially translationally fix the second track relative to the first track.
A track assembly for mounting a seat within a vehicle, the track assembly comprising:
- a first track having a first support extending from a first surface, the first support having a first free end;
- a second track slidably coupled to the first track, the second track having a second support extending from a second surface, the second support having a second free end;
- wherein the first surface and the second surface are at opposing lateral sides of the track assembly;
- wherein the first support and the second support are positioned such that the second free end is disposed above the first free end;
- wherein the first free end curves towards the second free end;
- and
- wherein the second free end curves towards the first free end.
A track assembly for mounting a seat within a vehicle, the track assembly comprising:
- a first track having a first support extending from a first surface, the first support having a first free end;
- a second track slidably coupled to the first track, the second track having a second support extending from a second surface, the second support having a second free end;
- wherein the first surface and the second surface are at opposing lateral sides of the track assembly;
- wherein the first support and the second support are positioned such that the second free end is disposed above the first free end;
- and
- wherein the first support is configured to at least partially engage the second support in response to a load being applied to the track assembly in a direction that separates the first track from the second track.
A track assembly for mounting a seat within a vehicle, the track assembly comprising:
