Seating systems for motor vehicles

Abstract

Embodiments of seating systems for motor vehicles facilitate two-dimensional movement of a seat in a horizontal plane. The seating systems can also facilitate vertical movement of the seat. The seating systems are motorized, and can be automatically controlled so that minimal movement and effort are required on the part of the user to enter and exit the vehicle.

1 . A seating system, comprising:
 a frame mountable on a mounting surface within a motor vehicle;   a carriage assembly mounted on the frame and translating linearly in relation to the frame;   a base assembly mounted on the carriage assembly and rotating in relation to the carriage assembly;   a trolley assembly mounted on the base assembly and translating linearly in relation to the base assembly; and   a seat mounted on the trolley assembly.
