Abstract

An adjustable automobile seat includes a base member, a carrier member for supporting a load, and support legs intermediate the base and carrier members. An actuating handle vertically moves the carrier member relative to the base member to thereby adjust the position of the seat. Eccentric gears are provided intermediate the base and carrier members for maintaining the torque which is necessary for turning the handle substantially constant during the movement of the carrier member.
