Tip and slide system for a vehicle seat

A vehicle seat comprising:

• a seatback selectively operable about a seatback pivot between an upright position, a folded position and a rear-entry position;
• an overslide cam that is selectively operable from a ready position to an activation state that activates an overslide mechanism that selectively defines a sliding operation of the seatback pivot to a forward-most position;
• a rear-access lever connected with the seatback pivot and the overslide cam;
• and
• a return pawl outwardly extending from and outwardly biased from an outer edge of the seatback pivot, wherein:
• rotation of the seatback pivot into the rear-entry position when the overslide cam is in the ready position further defines the activation state, where co-axial rotation of the seatback pivot and the return pawl about a center of the seatback pivot rotates the overslide cam to activate the overslide mechanism;
• and
• a non-activation state of the return pawl prevents movement of the overslide cam to the activation state, where the non-activation state is distal from the ready position and movement of the overslide cam toward the ready position deflects the return pawl toward the seatback pivot such that the overslide cam is selectively maintained distal from the ready position.

A vehicle seat comprising:

• a seatback pivot that rotates about a center of the seatback pivot;
• an actuator that rotates an overslide cam;
• and
• a pawl of the seatback pivot that rotates about a pawl pivot that is distal from the center of the seatback pivot, wherein operation of the actuator with the seatback pivot in a first rotational range causes selective rotation of the overslide cam by the pawl, and wherein operation of the actuator with the seatback pivot in a second rotational range causes a rotational deflection of the pawl about the pawl pivot by the overslide cam.
