Manually operable mechanical memory device

摘要

A manually operable mechanical memory device comprises at least one slider slidably mounted within a slider rail attached to one member of a seat guide system. The slider includes at least one stop face adjacent an end of the slider. A stop element is retractably attached to a second seat guide member that is movable relative to the first seat guide member. The stop element is movable from a neutral position outside of the slider to a stop position capable of placement within the slider and engagement against the stop face. The slider includes a catch to prevent the stop element from entering the slider from the neutral position. The slider includes a striker that locks the stop element within the slider and against the stop face. The slider also includes an engagement hook disposed therein that comprises one end portion that extends through an opening through the slider positioned adjacent the stop face, and an opposite end portion that extends through another opening in the slider and through an engagement opening in the slider rail to fixedly attach the slider to the slider rail. Slidable movement of the slider vis-a-vis the slider rail is accomplished by placing the stop element within the slider and adjacent the stop face, thereby aligning the stop element with the opening, and displacing the stop element into the opening to cause the end portion of the extension hook to disengage the engagement opening.
