MULTI-FUNCTION SEAT ACTUATOR

摘要

A seat actuation control system is disclosed. The seat actuation control system may permit multiple functions to be controlled by a single actuator. For example, a seat floor tracking function, and a seat pan track and swivel function may be individually controlled by a single actuator, such as a rotary actuator.

1. A seat actuation system comprising:
an actuator connected to an output interface; a primary output link in mechanical communication with the output interface; a secondary output link in mechanical communication with the output interface, wherein the output interface comprises an apparatus whereby a first movement of the actuator is conveyed to the primary output link and a second movement of the actuator is conveyed to the secondary output link; a primary function control movable by the primary output link; a secondary function control movable by the secondary output link; a lost motion slot disposed between the secondary function control and the secondary output link, whereby the secondary function control is mechanically isolated from the first movement of the actuator.
