Modular seat with electrical connector

An electrical connector assembly comprising;

• a first electrical connector box connected to a first electrical device,
• an interior chamber defined by said first box, said chamber having a top surface and a plurality of side walls,
• said side walls defining the circumference of an opening,
• a mounting plate disposed within said chamber of said first box,
• said mounting plate being smaller than said chamber for creating a space between said mounting plate and said top surface and side walls of said chamber,
• a plurality of first electrical connectors encased within said mounting plate,
• a second electrical connector box connected to a second electrical device,
• a plurality of second electrical connectors encased within said second box, and
• at least one resilient element supporting said mounting plate and biasing said mounting plate within said chamber of said first box toward said opening for providing continuous lateral and up and down movement of said mounting plate within said space of said chamber when said first electrical connectors engage said second electrical connectors and when said first box abuts said second box.

An automotive seat assembly comprising;

• a seat frame,
• at least one electrically operated component supported by said seat frame,
• a first electrical connector box secured to said seat frame,
• said electrically operated component electrically connected to said first box,
• an interior chamber defined by said first box, said chamber having a top surface and a plurality of side walls,
• said side walls defining the circumference of an opening,
• a mounting plate disposed within said chamber of said first box,
• said mounting plate being smaller than said chamber for creating a space between said mounting plate and said top surface and side walls of said chamber,
• a plurality of electrical connectors encased within said mounting plate,
• at least one resilient element supporting said mounting plate and biasing said mounting plate within said chamber of said first box toward said opening, and
• an attachment member on said seat frame for attaching said seat frame and said first box to a vehicle including a guide member for guiding said first box into alignment with a plurality of electrical connectors encased within a complementary second electrical connector box on the vehicle for establishing an electrical connection with the electrically operated component within the vehicle.
