1. A module for a vehicle seat, the module comprising:
- a first drive cable that is mounted so as to be movable between a first locking position configured to block movement of a first seat element with respect to a second seat element and a first unlocking position configured to allow the movement of the first seat element with respect to the second seat element,a second drive cable that is mounted so as to be movable between a second locking position configured to block movement of a third seat element with respect to a fourth seat element and a second unlocking position configured to allow movement of the third seat element with respect to the fourth seat element, andan actuating device comprising an actuator and a transmission assembly that is actuated by the actuator and acts selectively on the first drive cable or the second drive cable,wherein the transmission assembly comprises a transmission member that is able to rotate about a central transmission axis in a first direction of rotation in order to drive the first drive cable from the first locking position to the first unlocking position and in a second direction of rotation, opposite to the first direction of rotation, in order to drive the second drive cable from the second locking position to the second unlocking position.
