A control device (), in particular for car seats (), with at least one touch-sensitive surface (). This is designed to generate a control signal for controlling a function, in particular a car seat function, when touched by the hand of an operator. The control device () has at least one recess () within which the touch-sensitive surface () is positioned.

Operating device and motor vehicle seat

The invention relates to a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle, and equipped with a central control unit, motors, peripheral motor control devices each associated to one motor and connected to the central control unit. To allow rapid and accurate adjustments while providing versatility, the invention provides that each motor and its associated motor control device shall constitute a closed regulation loop.

Vehicle seat, in particular a motor-vehicle seat

Vehicle seat arrangement includes an electric adjustment mechanism, a direct current motor for adjusting a vehicle seat component, with direct current terminals configured to receive a motor current. a control device for controlling or regulating direct current motor, which applies direct current to the direct current terminals based upon adjustment speed to be set. upon receiving a comfort adjustment signal control device actuates direct current motor for a gradual comfort adjustment of vehicle seat component, upon receiving a pre-crash signal control device actuates direct current motor for a rapid pre-crash adjustment of vehicle component from a current initial position to a safe pre-crash position. Adjustment data for safe pre-crash position and initial position are stored in a memory device prior to pre-crash adjustment, and rapid pre-crash adjustment is implemented at a load and acceleration that are the maximum permissible for direct current motor at the respective operating point.

Vehicle seat arrangement with an electric adjustment mechanism

An adjusting arrangement for pre-crash adjustment of at least one vehicle component, in particular of a vehicle seat, is disclosed, having an adjusting device with two entry connections, and a control device for receiving an entry signal and output of a control signal to the adjusting device for adjusting the vehicle component in a crash&#x2014;secure position. The switching device can be adjusted between a normal operating position and a quick adjustment position. The control device emits, upon recognizing a pre-crash situation, a switching signal for adjusting the switching device into the quick adjustment position, and a second voltage is applied at the entry connections of the adjusting device in the quick adjusting position, which is greater than a first voltage applied in the normal operating position.
