Abstract:
1. A longitudinal adjuster that is for a vehicle seat and that is capable of being responsive to predetermined pivoting of the seat's backrest, the longitudinal adjuster comprising: a first seat rail; a second seat rail that extends in a longitudinal direction, wherein the first seat rail is mounted for moving in the longitudinal direction relative to the second seat rail; a locking device for locking the longitudinal adjuster and thereby restricting the first seat rail from moving in the longitudinal direction relative to the second seat rail; a memory device mounted for moving in the longitudinal direction with the first seat rail relative to the second seat rail, wherein the memory device interacts with the second seat rail for remembering a longitudinal position of the first seat rail with respect to the second seat rail so that the first seat rail can be moved in the longitudinal direction back to the remembered longitudinal position after the first seat rail has been moved in the longitudinal direction out of the remembered longitudinal position, wherein the first seat rail having been moved in the longitudinal direction out of the remembered longitudinal position is at least partially in response to the predetermined pivoting of the seat's backrest; and an actuation device adapted for actuating both
