Patent number: 6626064Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a motor coupled to an output shaft. At least two driven shafts are each operable between three operating modes. The three operating modes are a stationary mode, a first rotational direction, and a second rotational direction. A transmission assembly connects the driven shafts to the output shaft. The transmission assembly is operable to control each of the driven shafts in any one of the three operating modes when the output shaft rotates in the first rotational direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: H.
