Abstract: The present invention relates to a suspension system for a vehicle seat. The system comprises a top portion (9) and a first part (1) having a base portion (2), means (3b, 20) to receive the top portion and means (3, 4) to allow movement of the base portion (2) and top portion (9) towards and away from each other. The system further comprises a second part consisting of a spring element (10, 14) adapted in use to control movement of the base portion (2) and top portion (9) towards and away from each other. The top portion (9) and the second part (10, 14) are, in addition, releasably connected (13, 11a, 20) to the first part (1). This suspension system allows for flexibility in the manufacturing process and the replacement of parts.

Abstract: A seat adjustment mechanism principally for vehicle seats comprises a frame connected to a base by front and rear linkages. A mechanism is provided that is operated by a handle with a first movement of the handle unlocking the front linkages to allow the tilt of the frame to be adjusted relative to the base and continued movement of the handle unlocking both linkages to allow the height of the frame to be adjusted relative to the base. This is achieved by successively pivoting lever arms that successively unlock the pairs of links.
