1. An adjuster for a vehicle seat, the adjuster comprising: at least one detent fitting including two fitting parts that can be pivoted relative to one another around a central axis while the detent fitting is in an unlocked configuration, wherein the two fitting parts are locked together while the detent fitting is in a locked configuration; and a lever mounted for pivoting around a pivot axis, wherein the detent fitting is unlocked by way of a rotatable driver that is mounted so that rotation of the rotatable driver can cause the detent fitting to transition from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration, the rotatable driver extends around the central axis and is accessible from outside of the detent fitting, and the lever is in direct contact with the rotatable driver so that pivoting of the lever causes rotation of the rotatable driver and thereby the transition of the detent fitting from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration, and wherein the contact between the lever and the rotatable driver occurs via at least one gear.
