Abstract
A vehicle seat is constrained for adjustable movement in two degrees of freedom, viz., tilting and longitudinal sliding by an apparatus which includes three longitudinally-extending, laterally-parallel tracks in the outer two of which are retained a pair of followers attached to the bottom edge of the seat for guiding the seat longitudinally and for tilting it vertically thereabout. A carrier slides along the center track and is lockable in a plurality of longitudinal positions. A tilt-adjustment-arm is pivotally attached to the carrier at one end and has a second end pivotally attached to the seat generally rearward of the front edge and is lockable in a plurality of tilt positions relative to the carrier to permit the seat to be locked in one of a plurality of independent tilt positions.
