Abstract

A vehicle seat system includes a seat, upper and lower frame structures, an upper rail and a stationary lower rail attached to a floor structure. The seat is attached to the upper frame structure, which is rotatably attached to the lower frame structure. The lower frame structure is attached to the upper rail, which is movably arranged in relation to the lower rail in a longitudinal direction. An elongated load member is attached to the lower rail, and an upper part of the load member extends into a lower portion of the upper rail. One or more lower parts of the load member extend through the floor structure. The load member is in direct engagement with the floor structure and the lower portion of the upper rail in a vehicle impact event for establishing a load path from the floor structure to the upper rail via the load member.
