Abstract
A power seat height adjuster mechanism for a seat of a vehicle includes a motor having an output shaft, a speed reduction mechanism cooperating with the output shaft of the motor to reduce an output speed of the motor, a nut drive mechanism cooperating with the speed reduction mechanism and having a translatable output member to rotate an adjustment component of the seat to adjust a height of the seat, and a locking mechanism cooperating with the speed reduction mechanism to allow the height of the seat to be adjusted and to prevent the height of the seat from moving once the height has been adjusted.
