Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004107918A1] The invention relates to a multi-way-adjusting device, in particular to a two-way device for a seating component, mainly for adjusting the width of a seatback. The inventive multi-way adjusting device comprises an adjusting element (7) which is movable with respect to a fixing element (1) and requires less energy for adjusting in a first direction (a) than in a second direction (B). In order to compensate said difference, mechanical energy storage elements (5) absorb mechanical energy during adjusting in the first direction (A) and release said energy during adjusting in the second direction (B), thereby facilitating the displacement of the adjusting element (7) in the second direction (B). Said invention also relates to a corresponding adjusting device for a cable control, in particular to a Bowden cable which is used for adjusting the height or the curve of the lordosis support of the seat.
