Abstract: A system for adjusting and dumping the position of a seat, such as a vehicle passenger or driver's seat, utilizes simultaneously translating master and slave adjustment rods to pivot the seat back frame about a pivot point. Each adjustment rod is locked in a passenger pre-set position by a corresponding locking mechanism. This preset position is “remembered” by way of a marker selectively engaged to the master adjustment rod, and is restored when the marker resides within a marker dock affixed to the locking mechanism. A user adjustment input is operable to release the two locking mechanisms and the marker from the corresponding rods so that the rods can freely translate as the passenger adjusts the angle of inclination of the seat back. When the adjustment input is released, the locking mechanisms and marker re-engage to provide the memory function for the system.
