An adjustment device for removably coupling a seatback to a seat. The adjustment device can include a first adjuster and/or a second adjuster for adjusting respective linear and angular positions of the seatback relative to the seat. The first adjuster can include a first linear actuator, a main body and a sliding bed. The second adjuster can include a second linear actuator, a sliding bed and an angle plate pivotably coupled to the sliding bed. The first and second linear actuators can each include a cylindrical worm. The first adjuster and the second adjuster can be independently actuatable to change the position of the seatback relative to the seat.
An adjustment device for removably coupling a seatback to a seat, the adjustment device comprising:
An apparatus for adjusting a position of a first seat component relative to a second seat component, the apparatus comprising a linear actuator, a main body and a sliding bed, the linear actuator links the main body and the sliding bed such that actuating the linear actuator causes linear displacement of the sliding bed relative to the main body, the linear actuator comprises a cylindrical worm, and threads of the linear actuator mesh with a threaded recess of the sliding bed, the linear actuator is manually actuated about an axis, and the sliding bed translates between first and second linear positions in a direction that is parallel to the axis.
An apparatus for adjusting a position of a first seat component relative to a second seat component, the apparatus comprising a linear actuator, a bed and an angle plate pivotably coupled to the bed, the linear actuator links the bed and the angle plate such that actuating the linear actuator causes angular displacement of the angle plate relative to the bed, the linear actuator comprises a cylindrical worm, and worm threads of the linear actuator mesh with teeth of the angle plate, the linear actuator is manually actuated about a first axis, and the angle plate rotates between first and second angular positions about a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis.
