Vehicle seat with support assembly

摘要

A seat support assembly for an automotive vehicle with a seat having integrated occupant restraints has forward and rearward transversely extending seat support members each having opposed ends with a seat attachment section and an attachment flange. A pair of seat reinforcement members are positioned adjacent and underside of the attachment section on each of the opposed ends of the forward and rearward seat support members, each of the pair seat support reinforcements members having a mating flange adapted for mating between the attachment flange and a portion of the vehicle floor pan. A floor pan reinforcement member is adapted for mating with an underside of the floor pan and has a support flange wrapping around an outer side adjacent the mating flange and the attachment flange. The seat is connected by seat brackets to the seat attachment sections of the seat support members via a bolt and bolt sleeve combination which maintains the seat support member in spaced relationship with the floor pan and provides increased load absorption from the seat.
