A locking mechanism () for a vehicle seat includes a latch () that is to be interlocked with an opposite element (B) and is mounted to be pivotable about a first bearing bolt (), at least one securing element () that secures the latch () in the locked state, and a movable unlocking handle (). The unlocking handle () is directly hinged to one of the securing elements () by means of a single pivot point ().

Locking mechanism for a vehicle seat

A lock for a vehicle seat has a catch which is pivotable about a catch axis between a release position and a locking position in order to cooperate with a locking bolt or a locking clip of a vehicle structure, and has an ejector. The ejector has a spring element disposed in a housing of the lock. The ejector can be brought into abutment against the vehicle structure or the locking bolt or locking clip by a biased spring element.

Vehicle seat latch

A locking mechanism () for a vehicle seat, particularly for a motor vehicle seat, includes a latch that is to be interlocked with an opposite element (B) and is mounted to be pivotable about a first bearing bolt (), at least one securing element () that secures the latch () in the locked state, and a lock housing () which supports the latch () and the securing element (). The lock housing () has an integrated first stop () for the opposite element (B). The stop () has a damping effect when the opposite element (B) rests against the lock housing ().

A spring (), for a locking device of a vehicle seat, is designed as a yoke spring defining an axis (A) and made of a spring wire. A cross section diameter (q) has one leg () on each of both ends of the spring wire. The two legs () can pivot relative to each other in a circumferential direction of the axis (A), thereby transitioning the spring () from a relaxed state into a tensioned state. At least one first winding () is provided between the legs () that is wound completely around the axis (A) and having a winding diameter (di) in the relaxed state. At least one adjacent second winding () is provided between the legs () and disposed offset along by the axis (A) by a pitch (h), wherein the second winding () may optionally be wound not fully about the axis (A). The second winding () has a winding diameter (d) in the relaxed state. The pitch (h) is less than the cross section diameter (q).

Spring, in particular for a locking device of a vehicle seat

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 mechanism () for a vehicle seat, particularly for a motor vehicle seat, includes a latch () that is to be interlocked with an opposite element (B) and is mounted to be pivotable about a first bearing bolt (), and at least one securing element () that secures the latch () in the locked state. A cap () which rests on the latch () covers at least part of the edge of a hook opening of the latch ().

A fitting system () is provided for a vehicle seat (), especially motor vehicle seat, which defines a pivot axis (A) of backrest and has a fitting lower part () and an associated fitting upper part () on both sides of the vehicle seat. Each fitting upper part () is pivotable relative to the associated fitting lower part () about the pivot axis (A) of the backrest. The system has, on one side of the vehicle seat, a lock () and an opposing element (), which lock the fitting system () in a use position by cooperating. A prestressed latch (), which cooperates with another opposing element (), especially receives it, in the use position, is provided on the side of the vehicle seat that is located opposite the lock ().

Fitting system for a vehicle seat

In the case of a locking mechanism () for a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle seat, having an open housing (), a latch () which is mounted pivotably on the housing () and is intended for locking with a mating element (B), and at least one securing element () which is likewise mounted pivotably on the housing () and, by interaction with the latch (), secures a locked state, the locking mechanism () is attachable to a structural part (), and the structural part () forms the cover for the substantial closing of the housing ().

In the case of a locking mechanism () for a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle seat, having a pivotably mounted pawl () for locking to a mating element (B), and having at least one securing element () which secures a locked state by interaction with a first functional surface () of the pawl (), and secures an opened state by interaction with a second functional surface () of the pawl (), the securing element () exerts an opening moment on the pawl () in the opened state.
