Abstract
Described are seat track fittings (100) with a stud (102) having a spacer (104) separated from a lower flange (106), and a locking mechanism (110). The locking mechanism includes an elastic fitting (112) having an upper arm (116a) and a lower arm (116b) connected by a resilient member (120). An end of the upper arm and an end the lower arm are coupled to the stud, with the end of the upper arm positioned above the spacer, and the end of the lower arm positioned above the lower flange. An activation mechanism (114) is coupled to the elastic fitting to transition the seat track fitting between unloaded, unlocked, and locked positions.
