Abstract:
A shock and vibration isolation mount for a motor vehicle seat comprising, in combination:(a) a stationary base member adapted to be affixed to the floor of a motor vehicle; (b) a movable base member having linkages for pivotally coupling it to the stationary base member; (c) means disposed between the stationary base member and the movable base member for displacing the movable base member along a path determined by said linkages; (d) a pair of elongated slide members, each including first and second rollers journaled for rotation on said movable base member about spaced-apart parallel axes that extend transverse to a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle and a pair of cylindrical rods supported on a periphery of the first and second rollers; (e) a vehicle seat mount including a pair of side brackets held in parallel, spaced relation by front and rear cross members, said pair of side brackets connected at opposed ends thereof to opposed ends of the pair of cylindrical rods, and with shock absorbing springs disposed about said pair of cylindrical rods proximate the opposed ends and operatively disposed between the opposed ends of the pair of side brackets and the movable base member; and (f) control means for the means for displacing the movable base member for adjusting the displacement of the movable base member relative to the stationary base member.
