The invention relates to an actuator () for a vehicle seat, comprising a handle () for jointly actuating two locks (), a force transfer between the handle and each lock, a first indicator () associated with the first force transfer, and a second indicator associated with the second force transfer, wherein the two indicators each indicate the respective locking status of the associated lock, and the two indicators actuate an overall indicator () by means of a logical OR function in order to visibly indicate the unlocked state. The force transfer is preferably formed from Bowden cables ().

Actuator and hardware system for a vehicle seat

A vehicle seat includes a base () which includes at least one front foot (). A seat () is connected in an articulated manner to the front foot by at least one front leg (). At least one rear foot () is locked to the base () in at least one use position. At least one coupling () is provided between the seat and the rear foot. At least one coupler () is provided between the backrest and the coupling or the seat. The seat may be transferred from the use position into a boarding position as, after unlocking the rear foot, the seat pivots upwards and the backrest carries out a forward shifting movement by means of the rear foot. The seat may also be transferred from the use position into a flat-floor position, by the backrest pivoting forward and the seat being lowered by the coupler.

Vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat

In a vehicle seat (), in particular a motor vehicle seat, vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat, which may be transferred from at least one position of use suitable for conveying passengers into at least one pivoted-forward position of non-use, comprising a base (), at least one rocker () which is linked at least indirectly to the base (), in particular to a front foot () attached to the base (), a seat cushion () which is linked to the rocker (), at least one link () which is linked at least indirectly to the base (), in particular to the front foot () attached to the base (), at least one rear foot () which is linked to the link () and is releasably locked to the base (), and a backrest () which is pivotably linked to the rear foot () about a backrest pivot axis (), the seat cushion () is linked by means of an articulated joint () directly to the backrest ().

In the case of a vehicle seat (), in particular a motor vehicle seat, having at least one front foot (), at least one rear foot () coupled to the front foot (), a seat cushion () coupled at least to the front foot (), a backrest () coupled to the rear foot (), and a coupling between the seat cushion () and the backrest (), it is possible for the vehicle seat () to be transferred at least from at least one use position suitable for conveying people into a folded-up flat floor position, the coupling between the seat cushion () and the backrest () is provided by at least two members () which are movably connected to each other and of which at least one is coupled to the rear foot () by means of a central joint ().

Vehicle seat having a flat floor position

In the case of a vehicle seat (), in particular a motor vehicle seat, having a seat cushion () and a backrest () which are connected movably and/or releasably to the vehicle structure (S), it being possible for the vehicle seat () to be transferred from a design position into at least one other position, the backrest () is coupled to the vehicle structure (S) by way of at least one link (), a pivoting movement of the provided links () at least in phases predetermining a displacement of the backrest () forward, as a result of which the vehicle seat () takes up a front use position.

Vehicle seat, particularly a motor vehicle seat

In a vehicle seat (), in particular an automobile seat, having an understructure () which can be connected with the vehicle structure, and a middle structure () carrying a seat cushion () and a backrest (), the understructure () and the middle structure () constituting two links of a first four-bar linkage () on either side of the vehicle seat, and the vehicle seat () being able to be brought from a sitting utilization position to a boarding position, the four-bar linkage (), in order to bring the vehicle seat () from the utilization position to the boarding position, swings the vehicle seat () free as a whole, while the backrest () maintains its position relative to the middle structure ().
