Abstract
An improved pivot assembly comprising a pivot mechanism upon which a seat adjuster pivots, a bracket mechanism having an elongated slot in which a fastening mechanism for the pivot mechanism is contained, a lining portion affixed to the bracket mechanism the lining portion having flanges extending through the elongated slot laterally away from the lining portion, the flanges having a predetermined curvature, a fastening mechanism passing through the lining portion, bracket mechanism and pivot mechanism, whereby when the fastening mechanism is affixed to the pivot mechanism through the bracket mechanism the flanges of the lining portion are biased against the fastening mechanism, thereby the tolerance of the improved pivot assembly are optimized to allow a minimum of play or chuck amongst the components therefor.
