Abstract:

A vehicle seat mounting mechanism including oppositely disposed pairs of parallel links between a base and a seat carrier, and a first air bag spring operatively connected between the base and the links for absorbing vertical-upward motion induced by road shocks, and a second air bag spring secured between the base and the seat carrier for absorbing vertical-downward motion induced by road shocks. A separate shock absorber mounted between the base and the seat carrier serves to dampen the springing action of the first and second air bag springs.
