The invention relates to an adjustment device of an automotive vehicle. It comprises a movable adjustment part the position of which is adjustable according to the user's wishes. The adjustment part comprises at least a first piece and a second piece. These pieces are fixedly joined together in a connection region. Each piece comprises a border that is connected to the border of the other piece in the connection region. One piece may be made from a higher quality material and the other piece from a lower quality material. One piece may be made from a thinner material and the other piece from a thicker material.

An adjustable hinge mountings has a first hinge arm, a second hinge arm, a toothed quadrant centered on a hinge axis and connected to the first hinge arm, a detent part which has a toothed surface feature cooperating with the toothed quadrant and a control part associated with the detent part. The hinge arms can be pivoted between an active angular range in which the detent part is allowed to engage the toothed quadrant and a passive angular range in which the detent part is not located opposite the toothed quadrant so that the detent part is not allowed to engage the toothed quadrant. In the passive angular range, the detent part is retained by the control part in a passive position in which it is not in the range of movement of the toothed quadrant. In the active angular range, the detent part adopts an active position in which the detent part can be brought into engagement with the toothed quadrant. When passing from the passive angular range to the active angular range, the toothed quadrant actuates the control part either directly or indirectly.

A motor vehicle seat having an underframe comprising at least one base and at least one rear rocker, which is connected to the base through a rear pivot axis, a seat carrier carried by the underframe, a seat back connected to the seat carrier, and a drive device. A crash sensor controls the drive device. In the event of a crash, the drive device pivots the seat carrier inclusive of the seat back about the rear pivot axis, and a seat front edge of the seat carrier is raised at least 10 mm relative to the base.

A longitudinal guide for motor vehicle seats having a bottom rail and a seat rail that are displaceable with respect to each other in one longitudinal direction. The motor vehicle seats are adjustable in a longitudinal direction and are also removable from the longitudinal guide. Detents are formed in the bottom rail. The seat rail comprises a base part and a supporting part. The base part has at least one front and at least one rear transverse bolt, which cooperate with the detents. The base part is adjustable with respect to the supporting part between a lower position, in which the transverse bolts are not engaged with the detents, and an upper position, in which the transverse bolts engage detents. Only in the lower position is the seat rail displaceable with respect to the bottom rail.

A forwardly displaceable vehicle seat for vehicles in which a rear seat is accessed through a side door. A locking device () is assigned to the seat back joint () and locks the seat back joint () in a first locking position in a normal use position of the vehicle seat. A release (), preferably arranged on the seat back (), cooperates with the locking device (), and permits displacement of the vehicle seat from the normal use position into a forwardly displaced position having the seat back () folded forward. A first transmission mechanism () sets a memory unit () and releases a stop unit () when the seat back () is tilted forward. The locking device () has a second locking position in which the seat back () is retained in the forwardly tilted position. A second transmission mechanism () actuates the locking device () so that it cannot adopt the second locking position within a rear portion () of the travel distance of the seat, and can engage the second locking position within a front portion () of the travel distance.

A joint fitting for a vehicle seat with a forward tiltable seat back. The joint fitting has a first fitting part, a second fitting part and a pivot joint pivotally joining these two fitting parts. A locking cam is hinged to the first fitting part and is pivotal about a cam axle, the locking cam has a first end region located in proximity to the cam axle and a second end region. A locking bight is configured on the second fitting part and is provided with a first locking side and with a facing second locking side, the distance between these locking sides matching the distance between the two end regions. An actuation device acts on the locking cam at a distance from the cam axle so that the locking cam may be moved from a locking position into a release position. In the locking position, the first end region of the locking cam abuts on the first locking side and the second end region of the locking cam abuts on the second locking side.

A seat back frame of a vehicle seat is formed out of a sheet iron blank into a pressed piece of sheet iron. The seat back frame is provided with a main region and with a border oriented transversely to the main region. The border is composed of merging portions, and has a top border, a left and a right bent corner border and a left and a right lateral border. A left and a right stiffening bead is provided and located in an upper end region of the corresponding lateral border and in a portion of the main region a) that is directly adjacent the upper end region and that is b) in the neighborhood of the corresponding corner border.

The vehicle seat has a seat carrier and an underframe. The underframe comprises two bottom rails, two seat rails, two front supports, and two rear pivoting supports. A buckle of a safety belt is provided. Tensile loads acting on the buckle are transferred into the underframe. The bottom rail neighboring the buckle is provided with a side part that extends upward toward the seat carrier. A slot is configured in this side part and is oriented substantially transversely to a direction of a force acting on the buckle during of a frontal crash. A sliding member is provided and is guided in the slot. A pull-type strap is arranged between the buckle and the sliding member. A connecting rod is arranged between the neighboring rear pivoting support and the sliding member. Whenever the seat carrier is adjusted in height, the neighboring rear pivoting support is pivoted and the connecting rod displaces the sliding member in the slot, causing the buckle to follow the movement of the seat carrier.
