The seat assembly has a single latch for both holding the seat in a given location within the vehicle as well as holding the movable seat component in its non-operative position. The latch includes a single operating handle which is movable in opposite directions to either release the seat for movement within the vehicle or to release the movable seat component from its non-operative position. The latch further includes lockout means to prevent the seat from being moved within the vehicle unless the movable seat component is in its non-operative position, and to prevent the movable seat component from being released from its non-operative position unless the seat is in a designated use location in the vehicle.

A drive apparatus includes a rotatable threaded shaft disposed between a first member movably mounted with respect to a stationary second member. A housing having a freely movable leg is fixedly mounted to the second member, with the free leg movably extending into an aperture in the second member. A plastic drive block threadingly engaged with the threaded shaft is mounted within the housing. A cushion member is coupled to the drive nut and resiliently supports the drive nut in the housing. Axial forces exerted on the threaded shaft cause deformation of the side leg of the housing into direct contact with the lead screw to form a metal to metal path between the lead screw and the second member through the housing.
