Abstract
A vehicle seat adjuster having a single rail and an integral recliner mechanism on each side of the seat. The rails are secured to the floor by generally conventional floor supports. The recliner mechanisms each include rollers positioned both above and below the corresponding rail. Forward and rearward adjustment of the seat is obtained by moving the recliner mechanisms along the rails. In addition, each integral recliner mechanism includes upper arms that form the upright portions of the seat back frame. A seat back, preferably a molded seat back, is attached directly to the upper arms of the integral recliner mechanism.
