Abstract
A multi-way adjustment device, in particular a two-way adjustment device, is proposed for a seat component, which is suitable in particular for the seat-back width adjustment of a seat. The multi-way adjustment device comprises an adjustment part () adjustably mounted relative to a mounting plate a (), which when moved in a first adjustment direction (A) requires less energy expenditure than when moved in a second adjustment direction (B). In order to compensate this, there are provided mechanical energy accumulation means (), which takes up mechanical energy when the movement is in the first adjustment direction (A), in order to release this when the movement is in the second adjustment direction (B) and thus to assist the movement of the adjustment part () in the second adjustment direction (B). Moreover, the invention relates to a corresponding adjustment device for a cable, in particular a Bowden cable, in order, for example, to adjust a lumbar support for a seat with respect to curvature or height position.
