A locking apparatus for a vehicle seat, particularly for a motor vehicle seat, includes a locking mechanism () for mechanically locking a moveable catch () of the locking mechanism () with a counter element (B), and an actuator device () for actuating the catch () via a drive. A housing () is provided in which the locking mechanism () is arranged and housed. Improved safety against injuries of vehicle passengers that occur due to non-locked backseat backrests is provided with a motor-driven device for creating a lock of the locking mechanism ().

Locking apparatus for a vehicle seat

A locking device for a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle seat, is provided with a locking mechanism for the mechanical locking of a movable catch of the locking mechanism with a counter-element, and with an actuator unit for the actuation of the catch via a drive. A hosing is provided in which the locking mechanism is arranged and mounted, with regard to the required installation space. The locking device provides the possibility of the formation of structurally different variants of the locking device. The actuator unit () is arranged in the housing as a shared housing () together with the locking mechanism ().

Locking device for a vehicle seat

A locking device () for a vehicle seat, particularly for a motor vehicle seat, has a housing (), a catch () mounted in a movable manner on the housing () for locking with a mating element (B). At least one safety element () is provided for securing the catch () in the locked state and can be moved relative to the catch () for unlocking the locking device (). A query device () queries the locking state of the locking device () and has at least one transducer () and at least one sensor (). The query device () is designed in a contactless manner. The transducer () and the sensor () interact with each other due to the relative positioning and/or movement thereof.

A seat adjusting device for an automobile seat () having an electric motor () for generating a drive motion, wherein the electric motor is operationally coupled to a gearbox () for transmitting the drive motion thereof, the gearbox having a gearbox housing () in which gearbox elements are disposed for a step-up or step-down transmission of the motor drive motion, by means of which electric motors of lesser technical complexity can be used than previously. To this end, the invention proposes that the gearbox () has detection device for detecting information about the speed of at least one of the gearbox elements or detecting a variable dependent on the speed.

Seat adjusting device

Disclosed is a vehicle seat (), particularly a motor vehicle seat, comprising a seat part (), at least one fitting () which is provided with a first fitting part () and a second fitting part () that can be swiveled relative to the first fitting part () about an axis (A), and a backrest () which is mounted on the seat part () by way of the fitting () and can be swiveled relative to the seat part () about the axis (A). A sensor () is provided on the first fitting part () while a signaler () is provided on the second fitting part (). The sensor () transmits a signal by cooperating with the signaler () when the second fitting part () swivels relative to the first fitting part (), the signal making it possible to determine the relative angular position of the fitting parts ().

Vehicle seat, particularly a motor vehicle seat

In a vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, a sensor device () is arranged between the superstructure of the vehicle seat and the seat rail () of the vehicle seat, in order to measure forces transmitted from the superstructure into the seat rail (). The sensor device () can be positioned at least partially inside the seat rail ().

Sensor device for a vehicle seat

In a headrest () for a vehicle seat, having a support (), at least one upper and lower linkage () hinged to the support (), which are pivotable around horizontal axles (), an impact element () hinged to the linkages (), which forms at least one four-bar linkage () with the linkages () and the support (), and an energy storage, the energy storage driving the four-bar linkage () in the event of a crash, so that the impact element () is driven out forwardly from an initial position into a crash position that is locked rearward by a crash lock, a drive () is provided by way of which, in normal use, the headrest () can be brought from its initial position to at least one other comfort position.

Crash-active headrest

In a belt locking device for a vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, having a moveably attached belt lock (), a tightening unit () supported on a structure-fixed support element (), and a transmission element () acting between the tightening unit () and the belt lock (), wherein, in the event of a crash, the tightening until () pulls the belt lock () from an initial position into a crash position by way of the transmission element (), the position of the tightening unit () can be changed in a longitudinal direction of the transmission element () relative to the support element ().
