A joint fitting for a motor vehicle seat may have a first fitting part with a first sprocket and a second fitting part with a second sprocket. The fitting may also have a gear which rolls in the first sprocket and in the second sprocket to generate a rotational movement between the two sprockets. The fitting may also have an eccentric which is arranged between the first fitting part and the gear for driving a rolling movement of the gear in the first sprocket. The eccentric may have two wedge segments and a spring which pushes the wedge segments apart. An additional eccentric is arranged between the second fitting part and the gear for removing a play between the gear and the second sprocket. The additional eccentric may have two wedge segments. A vehicle seat having at least one such gearing fitting is also provided.

Fitting for vehicle seat

A fitting for a vehicle seat may have a first ring gear having first ring gear teeth, a second ring gear having second ring gear teeth, and a planet gear mounted on a planet carrier and which meshes with the first and second ring gear teeth. A blocking planet gear, which can be rotated about a blocking-planet-gear axis of rotation, permanently meshes with the first ring gear teeth and with the second ring gear teeth, and the distance between the blocking-planet-gear axis of rotation and the axis can be changed so that the blocking planet gear can be transferred selectively between locking meshing and non-locking meshing with the first ring gear teeth and/or with the second ring gear teeth. A vehicle seat having a seat part, a backrest and a fitting of this type for setting an angle of inclination of the backrest is provided.

Fitting for a vehicle seat

An adjustment fitting for adjusting an inclination of a backrest of the vehicle seat may have a first fitting part, and a second fitting part which is pivotable about a central axis of rotation relative to the first fitting part and is connectable to the backrest of the vehicle seat. The first fitting part and the second fitting part may be components both of a gear unit, such as a planetary gear, of the adjustment fitting and of a locking device, such as a detent lock, of the adjustment fitting. A vehicle seat having the adjustment fitting is also disclosed.

Adjustment fitting for a vehicle seat and vehicle seat

The invention relates to a device for influencing a backward movement of a seat, in particular a backrest part of the seat, with at least one deformation element arranged in a hinged area of the seating part of the seat, the deformation element being configured such that the deformation element can be deformed due to a force acting on the seating part and/or the back part at a predefined torque curve. The invention also relates to a seat, in particular a vehicle seat, comprising a seating part, a backrest part and the type of device.

A crash-arresting unit for a vehicle seat may have a locking element and an actuating unit. The locking element can be brought into form-fitting engagement with a mating element via the actuating unit. The actuating unit may be an electromechanical actuating unit having a fusible wire, where destruction of the fusible wire frees a movement of the locking element in the direction of the mating element.

Crash-arresting unit, in particular for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat

A vehicle seat (), includes a seat height adjusting multi-bar linkage () with five transmission links (), operative in normal operation as a four-bar linkage based on a locking unit () acting between at least two transmission links (). In the event of a crash a crash blocking unit () locks a vehicle-structure-fixed frame () and a rocker () to each other, such that the multi-bar linkage () acts as a three-bar linkage. A transmission link () is arranged between the frame () and the rocker (). In the event of a crash, the multi-bar link () acts as a five-bar linkage because of a load-controlled release of the locking unit (), whereby locking of the crash blocking unit () can be triggered independently of a load-controlled release of the locking unit () by an inertia-controlled pawl () of the crash blocking unit ().

A hardware system, for a vehicle seat, includes a fitting () having a first fitting part () and a second fitting part (), which can be locked to one another and can rotate in relation to one another about an axis (A), a transmission rod () and a hand lever (), the actuation of which rotates the transmission rod (). The fitting is unlocked via a rotation of the transmission rod against a total characteristic torque (M), produced from a sum of a first characteristic torque (M), generated by a spring assembly (), and a second characteristic torque (M), generated by spiral springs (). A first component () is rotationally fixed to the transmission rod and a second component () moves relative thereto during unlocking. The spiral springs () act between the first component () and the second component (). A vehicle seat is provided having the hardware system.

Hardware system for a vehicle seat

An actuating device () has a first part () and a second part () which can be pivoted about a first axis (A) relative to the first part (). A first segment () can be coupled to the first part. A second segment () can be rotated about the first axis (A) relative to the first segment () and can be connected to a locking device of a component () and/or to a locking device () of another component (). Rotation of a deflecting element () moves a transfer element () such that the second segment () is not rotated about the first axis (A). Changing a distance between the first axis (A) and a second axis &#xa9; allows the second segment () to be rotated about the first axis by the transfer element (). A vehicle seat includes such an actuating device ().

Actuating device, in particular for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat

A vehicle seat double fitting () includes two fittings () operatively connected to each other and each with a first fitting part () and a second fitting part () that are rotatable relative to one another around an axis (A) and are in geared connection or locked to one another. An adapter part () is connected to one of the first fitting parts () or the second fitting parts () and a second adapter part () is connected to other of the first fitting parts () or the second fitting parts (). Exactly one adapter part () is fixedly connected to a structural part () of the vehicle seat and the other of the two adapter parts () is limitedly moveable or rotatable around the axis (A), relative to the structural part () and the adapter part () fixedly connectable to the structural part ().

Double fitting for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat

In a fitting system for a vehicle seat having at least one fitting by which a rest can be pivoted relative to a seat part from at least one use position to a non-use position, the fitting has a first fitting part with a toothed rim, a second fitting part, having at least one moving bolt which locks the fitting in the use position by interacting with the toothed rim, a prestressed eccentric which moves the bolt radially outward to interact with the toothed rim, and a control cam which moves the bolt radially inward in the event of rotation in the opening direction, to terminate interaction with the toothed rim. The control cam can be rotated in the closing direction in a manner uncoupled from the eccentric, to lock the fitting in the non-use position by interaction between the one bolt and the toothed rim.
