Abstract:
1. A sliding vehicular seat comprising a base for mounting in a vehicle; a first frame having a first frame end and a second frame end and slidably supported on said base so as to extend said first frame end in an extending direction from a first frame first position proximate said base to a first frame second position extended from said base; a second frame having a seat and slidably supported on said first frame so as to extend said second frame end in the extending direction from a second frame first position retracted on said first frame to a second frame second position extended from said first frame and said base; a first drive mechanism for extending and retracting said first frame relative to said base between said first frame first position and said first frame second position extended from said base, said first drive mechanism having a first driven member extending and retracting said first frame relative to said base; and a second drive mechanism for extending and retracting said second frame relative to said base and said first frame between said second frame first position and said second frame second position extended from said base, said second drive mechanism having a second driven member connected to said second frame to apply force to said second frame to extend said second frame relative to said first frame to said second frame second position, said second driven member being independent of said first driven member and driven by displacement of said first frame relative said base.
