Vehicle seat (), with a seat part () and a backrest (), which comprises a lumbar support (), wherein the lumbar support () has a lumbar apex () towards the back of a seat occupant and tapers from there and that the lumbar support comprises a suspension) that results in load distribution with a primery load uptake () at the lumbar apex ().

Vehicle seat with a lumbar support

Longitudinal, adjuster () having an outer and an Inner rail (), characterized in that the outer rail () has a structural element () which absorbs vertical forces and has a flexible element which biases a rolling body () against the inner rail ().

Longitudinal adjuster for a vehicle seat

Vehicle seat () having a seat part () and a backrest (), wherein the supporting structure () of the seat part or the backrest, in particular the side part thereof, integrally has at least one spring element () a pivot point (P) and/or a safety belt connection.

Vehicle seat

Seat height adjustment having vertical slots (, FIG.) provided on the seat structure () and a displacer () which is provided with tilted slots () and which can be moved horizontally in order to lift or lower the seat.

Seat adjustment device for vertical adjustment of a vehicle seat

A vehicle seat including a seat member, having a seat face and two lateral members. The seat face may be provided between the lateral members in an integral manner. The vehicle seat may further include a height adjuster for adjusting a height of the seat face, and the height adjuster may be integrated in the lateral members. Each of the lateral members may have a recess, the shape of which may change during the height adjustment. The height adjuster may include a drive element. The drive element may include a rotor with helical slots. The lateral members may have projections provided which cooperate in a positive-locking manner with the helical slots. During rotation of the rotor, the projections may be moved away from each other or toward each other. Height adjustment of the seat face may be carried out.

Seating part of a vehicle seat

The present invention concerns a hinged door check, for vehicle doors in particular, consisting of two hinged parts (2,4) which are connected swivelling around an axis of rotation (8) by a hinge pin (6) and which have a holding device (10) integrated between them defining different relative rotational positions. The holding device (10) consists first of at least one catch element (12) kinematically connected with the first hinged part (2) and spring-loaded in a working direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation (8), and secondly of a track (16) kinematically connected with the second hinged part (4), essentially shaped like the sector of a circle and arranged coaxial to the axis of rotation (8) with respect to its radius of curvature, having at least one latching point (14) cooperating with the catch element (12). The hinge pin (6) is connected detachable from the first hinged part (2) by fasteners (26), so that the hinged parts (2, 4) are separable when unloosening the fasteners (26) while keeping the connection between the hinge pin (6) and the second hinged part (4) and the holding device (10) assigned to the latter.
