  • ACTUATOR ARRANGEMENT FOR A SEAT AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING AN ADJUSTABLE COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20140246892
    Abstract: An actuator arrangement for a seat includes an adjusting linkage configured to be coupled to an adjustable component of a seat, a power drive and a switch means. The power drive has terminals and is configured to effect a relative displacement between the adjusting member (26) and the power drive. The switch means is coupled to the terminals and is configured to set a voltage applied at the terminals to a first voltage when the switch means is in a first state and to a second voltage when the switch means is in a second state different from the first state. The adjusting member and the switch means are configured such that the adjusting member causes the switch means to toggle between the first state and the second state.
