Abstract
A seat adjuster mechanism for a bench-type vehicle seat includes a first adjuster track assembly mounting the driver's end of the vehicle seat to the vehicle and a second adjuster track assembly mounting the passenger's end. The track assemblies are curved about an axis extending transversely of the vehicle so that the pitch and elevation of the vehicle seat are changed as the seat is adjusted fore and aft. First and second swivel mechanisms connect the respective adjuster track assemblies to the vehicle seat. First and second lock pawls are associated respectively with the first and second adjuster track assemblies for selective engagement in notches in a notched lock bar to latch the seat in desired position. A latch operating device is provided which is actuable in one direction to unlatch both the first and second latch means to permit simultaneous bodily fore and aft adjusting movement of the seat on the first and second adjuster track assemblies. The latch operating device is actuatable in the other direction to unlatch only the first lock pawl of the first adjuster track assembly to permit forward adjusting movement of the driver's end only.
