ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides, in a preferred embodiment, a vehicle seat adjuster particularly suitable for the middle or forward seating of a three-row van or minivan type vehicle. The seat adjuster may be provided with a master-slave latch arrangement allowing adjustment by the vehicle seat occupant by manipulating a rod extending toward the front of the vehicle seat adjuster or by a vehicle occupant seated rearwardly manipulating a second rod extending toward the rearward end of the vehicle seat adjuster. Although particularly useful in van-type vehicles, this seat adjuster may also be used in conventional passenger vehicles. The seat adjuster has two latches which are moved to a nonengaged or release position by manipulation of a slidably mounted roller which is displaced by a rod to tension a cable connected to both of the latches.
