  • Adjuster for a vehicle seat
    Patent number: 6464298
    Abstract: An adjuster for a vehicle seat includes a bearing element and a toothed element that includes a plurality of teeth. The toothed element is mounted to be capable of moving relative to the bearing element. The adjuster further includes a pawl floatably supported by the bearing element so that it is capable of both pivoting relative to the bearing element and moving along the toothed element. The pawl is movable between locked and unlocked positions. The pawl floats into the locked position by pivoting into contact with at least one tooth of the toothed element and moving along the toothed element to permit a proper engagement between the pawl and the teeth of the toothed element.
