A control valve, and a control module including such a control valve, for
selectively controlling a flow of pressurised hydraulic fluid from a pump
in a hydraulically powered vehicle seat adjustment system. The control
valve including a duct for pressurised fluid delivered from the pump, and
a moveable valve member which selectively closes off the duct. The
control valve also includes an integral set of contacts which are
arranged to activate the pump to provide a supply of pressurised
hydraulic fluid to the duct when the valve member is in the second
operative position in which hydraulic fluid is permitted to flow though
the duct. The control valves are preferably mounted within the control
module which defines an internal chamber forming a reservoir of the
hydraulically powered vehicle seat adjustment system. The control module
is mounted upon a side valance of the seat as a single integrated unit.
