Abstract
Abstract A vehicle seat adjustable by at least one servo element (1) comprises a servo element control unit (2), an adjusting circuit (4) for the presetting of desired positions, and a memory circuit (3) programmable with the desired positions for the selection and restoration of preset desired positions. The adjusting circuit (4) is separated from the memory circuit (3), the memory circuit (3) containing at least one read-write memory (3 i ), and each of these circuits (3, 4) being individually connected to respectively one input (E 1 and E 2 , respectively) of the servo element control unit (2).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
Apparatus for controlling the position of a vehicle seat, comprising at least one servo element (1), a servo element control unit (2), an adjusting circuit (4) for presetting the desired positions, and a memory circuit (3) programmable with the desired positions for selection and restoration of the once preset desired positions, characterized in that the adjusting circuit (4) is separate from the memory circuit (3), the memory circuit (3) containing at least one read-write memory (3 i ), and each of these circuits (3, 4) being connected individually to respectively one input (E 1 and E 2 , respectively) of the servo element control unit (2).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
Apparatus for controlling the position of a vehicle seat, comprising at least one servo element (1), a servo element control unit (2), an adjusting circuit (4) for presetting the desired positions, and a memory circuit (3) programmable with the desired positions for selection and restoration of the once preset desired positions, characterized in that the adjusting circuit (4) is separate from the memory circuit (3), the memory circuit (3) containing at least one read-write memory (3 i ), and each of these circuits (3, 4) being connected individually to respectively one input (E 1 and E 2 , respectively) of the servo element control unit (2).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that a desired position can be written, by way of a position sensor (5) and a selector switch (6), into read-write memory (3 i ) or into a selectable read-write memory (3 i ) of the memory circuit (3), and can be read out therefrom repeatedly with the adjusting circuit (4) being deactivated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
69 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the adjusting circuit (4) is connected by way of a switch (7) to the corresponding input (E 1 ) of the servo element control unit (2), this switch (7) being coupled, in turn, with a switch (9) that switches the read-write memory or read-write memories (3 i ) of the memory circuit (3) from read to write operation and vice versa.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
54 words
Apparatus according to claim 2, characterized in that the memory circuit (3) contains a plurality of read-write memories (3 1 . . .3 n ), and a further selector switch (8) operable by a user of the apparatus to read out from a selected said read-write memory (3 1 . . .3 n ).
