Abstract
An adjustable seat leveling mechanism includes a pair of elongated, arcuate and T-shaped rails mounted on a platform which is fixed to a vehicle. A pair of guides have elongated arcuate slots which receive the rails so that the guides, which support a vehicle seat, are laterally movable along an arc of a circle. A toothed rack projects outwardly from one of the guides. A lever is pivotally mounted on the platform and is biased toward engagement with the rack to releasably hold the seat in selected positions. An operating lever is mounted on an arm rest of the seat and is coupled to the lever by a cable linkage.
