Adjuster with storage function of a vehicle seat backrest

A vehicle seat adjuster to adjust an inclination of a backrest about a central axis with respect to a seat cushion with a memory function, the vehicle seat adjuster comprising:

• a guide plate for connection to the seat cushion or the backrest;
• a toothed plate for connection to the backrest or the seat cushion;
• a plurality of claws having a tooth arrangement, the claws being adjustably supported in the guide plate for movement between a first position, in which the claws are in engagement with the toothed plate, and a second position, in which the engagement between the claws and the toothed plate is released to permit rotation between the guide plate and toothed plate;
• a shaft arranged coaxially relative to the central axis, the shaft having a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction;
• a displacement element supported on the shaft for displacement along the central axis, the displacement element including a displacement element control contour;
• a control plate having at least one control contour configured to adjust the claws between the first position and the second position, the control plate having a first control plate contour via which in a first control plate position, a rotationally secure connection is to be produced between the control plate, the displacement element, and the shaft, the control plate having a second control plate contour which, when a memory position is detected, is to cooperate with the displacement element control contour and, when the memory position is reached, in a second control plate position, the rotationally secure connection between the control plate and guide plate is released;
• and
• a storage plate arranged for rotation about the central axis, and displacement along the central axis such that in a first storage plate position, the storage plate is in engagement via a tooth arrangement with the toothed plate, and, in a second storage plate position, is out of engagement with the toothed plate, the storage plate having a storage plate control contour arranged such that when the memory position is reached, is to displace the displacement element.
