A locking unit (), for a vehicle seat (), includes a locking pawl () which is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position and which has a retention contour () for securing a locking bolt () in the closed position. At least one claw (), offset in the axial direction with respect to the locking pawl (), is mounted so as to be pivotable about the same pivot axis. The claw () has a closure contour (). The locking pawl () can be pivoted from the open position to the closed position by the closure contour () being acted upon by the locking bolt ().

Locking unit for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat

A locking unit () for a vehicle seat () includes a pawl () which is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position and has a retaining contour () for securing a locking pin () in the closed position. At least one claw () is mounted pivotably about the same pivot axis in a manner offset in the axial direction with respect to the pawl (). The claw () has a closing contour (). The pawl () is pivotable from the open position into the closed position by the closing contour () being acted upon by the locking pin ().

An adapter arrangement () for a vehicle seat () connects a locking unit () to a structural component () of the vehicle seat (). The locking unit () includes a housing () and the adapter arrangement () supports the housing () in two opposite directions. The vehicle seat () has a structural component () and a locking unit () for locking the structural component () with a further component (). The locking unit () is connected to the structural component () by the adapter arrangement ().

Adapter arrangement for a vehicle seat and vehicle seat

An actuator () for a vehicle seat () includes a housing (), a motor () which is fixed to the housing and includes a motor shaft (), a transmission () connected to the motor shaft, an actuator output drive () which is connected to the transmission, and a control unit (). The actuator output drive includes an output element moveable towards an end position from a starting position by rotating the motor shaft in a first direction and in a reversed direction&#x2014;in the direction of the starting position from the end position. A carriage () is driven, upon movement of the output element. A position sensor detects a position of the carriage. An actuator () for a vehicle seat is provided, in which a position sensor () detects an effect of gravity on the actuator. A vehicle seat () with one such actuator () is provided.

Actuator for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat

A locking unit () for a vehicle seat () includes a housing with at least on side plate () and/or a cover plate (), and at least one bearing bolt () having a bearing axis (). The at least one bearing bolt (), in an axial direction, is penetrated by a through opening () having a through axis (). The through axis () of the through opening () extends offset to the bearing axis () of the bearing bolt ().

A locking device for a vehicle seat has a latch which is mounted pivotably about a second axis and is intended for locking a counter element, with a clamping eccentric which is mounted pivotably about a first axis parallel to the second axis and, by interaction with a first functional surface of the latch, secures a locked state of the latch. In the locked state, the clamping eccentric acts in a spring-loaded manner on the first functional surface via a clamping surface. The clamping eccentric is moveable from the locking position thereof into the unlocking position thereof. A pretensioned compression spring is provided, which is supported at one end thereof on an arm of the clamping eccentric in a manner spring-loading the latter into the locking position thereof and, at the other end thereof, acting upon the latch in the unlocking direction.

Locking device and vehicle seat

A locking device for a vehicle seat has a catch which is mounted such that it can be pivoted about a second axis and is intended for locking a mating element, and has a clamping eccentric which is mounted such that it can be pivoted about a first axis, between a locking position and an unlocking position and secures a locked state of the catch by interaction with a first functional surface of the catch. In the locked state, the clamping eccentric acts on the first functional surface via a clamping surface. An unlocking element is mounted such that it can be pivoted about the second axis by an actuating device, counter to a spring force, out of a locking position into an unlocking position. The unlocking element and the clamping eccentric have arranged between them a bias spring element.
