Abstract
Apparatus for adjusting various parts of the seat in a motor vehicle has first and second adjustable units which receive motion from discrete first and second rotary driving elements in the form of gears or clutch sections. The driving elements flank an axially movable disc which has teeth or claws movable into engagement with the teeth or claws of the one or the other driving element in response to depression of a pushbutton which is surrounded by a hand wheel serving to rotate the selected driving element by way of a hollow shaft which non-rotatably carries the disc and surrounds an actuating member which transmits motion from the pushbutton to the disc. A locking device operates between the shaft and a pin which is reciprocable with the disc to releasably hold the disc in torque-transmitting engagement with the selected driving element.
