- the longitudinally extending channels 15" slidably embrace the rails carried by the support plate 3 so as to be longitudinally shiftable along these rails when the toothed member 16 is displaced to its unlocking position as pointed out above.
- the longitudinally extending frame members 15" respectively fixedly carry pivot brackets 19 while the transversely extending frame members 15 respectively fixedly carry pivot brackets 20.
- These brackets 19 respectively carry pivot pins 21 while the brackets 20 respectively carry pivot pins 22.
- the four shear linkages each include a pair of links pivoted to each other intennediate their ends so that they can swing one with respect to the other in the manner of a pair of successive blades.
- the shear linkage 13 includes a pair of levers l3 pivoted to each other intermediate their ends, and the same is true of the remaining three shear linkages 13', 14, and 14'.
- the seat frame means 12 has four sides and the four shear linkages are respectively located along these four sides, the linkages 13 and 13' respectively being situated along the lateral sides while the linkages l4 and 14 extend along the front and rear sides of the seat frame means 12.
- the linkage 13 has one of its levers pivotally connected to the pivot pin 21 carried by one of the brackets 19 while the parallel shear linkage 13' has one of its levers pivotally connected to the pin 21 carried by the other bracket 19.
- the linkages 14 and 14 respectively have one of their levers pivotally connected to the pins 22 of the brackets 20 respectively carried by the frame member 15'.
- the upper seat frame means 12 fixedly carries pivot brackets which are respectively in alignment with and situated over the several brackets 19 and 20, and all of these brackets of the frame means 12 carry pivot pins 23 which are thus fixed with respect to the seat frame means 12.
- the other levers of each shear linkage are pivoted to the pins 23, respectively.
- FIG. 2 shows the lower right end of a link 13 or 13', which is inclined downwardly toward the right, pivotally connected to a pin carried by a horizontally shiftable carriage 24, and the lower right end of the levers 14 and 14 which are directed downwardly toward the right, as viewed in FIG. 3, are respectively pivotally connected with pins carried by the horizontally shiftable carriages 25.
- the pair of carriages are guided for shifting movement along the channel-shaped frame members 15' while the shiftable carriages 24 are guided for movement along the frame members 15
- the carriages 24 will shift forwardly and rearwardly while carriages 25 will shift to the right and left with respect to the automobile.
- the longitudinally extending frame members 15" carry guide rails 26 for the carriages 24 while the transversely extending frame members 15 carry guide rails 27 for the shiftable carriage 25.
- the seatframe means 1 2 is provided with shiftable carriages 24' and 25' coacting with the free ends of the other levers of each shear linkage.
- a rotary threaded spindle 28 Situated directly next to one of the side shear linkages, namely the linkage 13, is a rotary threaded spindle 28 capable of being turned upon actuation of a laterally extending crank 29 which is available to the operator.
