Claims20
An operating unit for at least one adjuster of a vehicle seat, the operating unit comprising:
- a housing defining a slotted guide;
- an operating element mounted for movement such that movement and/or operation of said operating element activates the at least one adjuster, the adjuster adjusting the vehicle seat or a component of the vehicle seat, said operating element being moveable along an operating element path defined by said slotted guide, said operating element path having a contour corresponding to a profile of the vehicle seat.
A vehicle seat, comprising:
- a plurality of vehicle seat components;
- a plurality of adjusters, one adjuster being connected to one of said vehicle seat components;
- an operating unit comprising:
- a housing defining an operating element guide path with a first operating element receiving position and a second operating element receiving position;
- an operating element mounted for movement such said operating element moves from said first operating element receiving position to said second operating receiving position along said operating element guide path, said operating element being movable when said operating element is in said first operating element receiving position and said second operating element receiving position such that movement of said operating element activates one or more said adjusters, one of said adjusters moving one of said vehicle seat components from a first position to a second position when said operating element activates said one or more said adjusters, said operating element guide path having a shape corresponding to a shape of one of said vehicle seat components.
A vehicle seat, comprising:
- a plurality of vehicle seat components;
- a first group of first adjusters, one first adjuster being connected to one of said vehicle seat components;
- a second group of second adjusters, one second adjuster being connected to one of said vehicle seat components;
- an operating unit comprising:
- a housing defining an operating element guide path with a first operating element receiving position and a second operating element receiving position, said first operating element receiving position corresponding to said first group of first adjusters, said second operating element receiving position corresponding to said second group of second adjusters;
- an operating element mounted for movement such said operating element moves from said first operating element receiving position to said second operating receiving position, said operating element being movable in said first operating element receiving position such that said operating element actuates at least one of said first adjusters, said operating element being movable in said second operating element receiving position such that said operating element actuates at least one of said second adjusters, said operating element guide path having a shape corresponding to a shape of one of said vehicle seat components.
