Abstract: An actuating assembly in particular for a vehicle seat has an elongate carrier member and brackets projecting from the carrier member. The brackets carry a pivot bar and actuating elements are mounted pivotably on the pivot bar. To afford user-specific flexibility in regard to the arrangement of the actuating elements in the actuating assembly, the carrier member has spaced-apart, transversely extending openings having a cross-sectional profile with an undercut configuration and each bracket is fitted into a corresponding opening with a fitting portion whose cross-sectional profile is matched to that of the corresponding opening to mount the bracket to the carrier member.
