  • Electric command device for controlling seat positioning and storing desired seat positions
    Patent number: 5903122
    Abstract: This is a command device for a vehicle seat, including electric motors connected to a common power supply, position sensors associated with these motors, an electronic central unit and a motor command keypad which includes power-on/power-off switches connected to the common power supply via a single relay. When the central unit receives the order to look for a seat position stored in memory, it monitors the actuation of the power-on/power-off switches and opens the relay when it detects such an actuation which would tend to move the seat away from said memorized position.
