Abstract
A seating level adjusting device includes an elevating mechanism attached on a frame of the vehicle seat for raising or lowering the seating level, and a handle assembly separatably connected with the elevating mechanism for manipulating the elevating mechanism. The handle assembly carries an actuating mechanism for actuating the elevating mechanism, a locking mechanism for locking the actuating mechanism, and a releasing mechanism for releasing the lock state of the actuating mechanism. When repairing one of the actuating, locking, and releasing mechanisms, the handle assembly is separated from the elevating mechanism. The repair can be easily accomplished.
