A seat back adjuster for a vehicle seat, said seat back adjuster having at least a fitting upper part, a fitting lower part and a fitting arranged therebetween, wherein a separate adapter is arranged on a side of the fitting upper part or of the fitting lower part facing away from the fitting, said adapter being fixed on the fitting through an opening in the fitting upper part or in the fitting lower part, and wherein a control lever is provided which is arranged on the side of the adapter facing away from the fitting and is interlockingly and/or frictionally connected to the adapter.

Seat back adjuster and vehicle seat having a seat back adjuster

A vehicle seat () includes a seat part (), a backrest () a fitting () including a first fitting part () rotatable relative to a second fitting part () about an axis (A) and relative to the seat part that is pivotable about the axis (A). A first adapter () fixedly connects the first fitting part to a structure of the backrest or seat part. A second adapter () fixedly connects the second fitting part with the other of the structure of the seat part or backrest. A first stop () on the first adapter () and a second stop (), integrally formed with the second adapter () and surfaces from an edge transition of the second adapter (), interact to limit a pivot angle of the backrest. The second stop () comprises a limb (), extending from the edge transition (), in a radial direction, toward the axis (A).

Vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat

A longitudinal adjuster, in particular for a vehicle seat, has at least one first seat rail () and, at least one second seat rail () which is arranged in a manner such that it can be displaced in a sliding manner relative to the first seat rail (), and at least one end stop () which is attached to the first seat rail () and limits the relative displaceability of the two seat rails () to each other by means of interaction with a second end stop () which is formed by the second seat rail () or is attached to same. The first seat rail () is provided with at least two apertures () through each of which protrudes a region of the end stop () serving to limit the seat rail movement in the longitudinal direction of the seat rails (), and the region is formed by a respective tab (); formed integrally with the end stop (). The associated aperture () is formed in each case by a slot () in the first seat rail (), and the two tabs () are arranged at the same height in the longitudinal direction of the seat rail ().

Longitudinal adjuster with at least one end stop

The invention relates to a drive for adjusting motor vehicle seats comprising a spindle () fixed to a first () of two rails () which are adjustable with respect to each other with the aid of holding devices () arranged on the end of the spindle (). A transmission () actuated by a motor () is placed on the second rail (), According to id invention, the holding devices () comprise an external bowl-shaped supporting surface () in which each end of the spindle () is fixedly mounted, respectively. Said solution is more advantageous in comparison with conventional holding devices which are embodied in the form of flexible stamped parts, in particular the inventive holding devices exhibit a high resistance in the case of crash.

Drive for adjusting motor vehicle seats

Case parts of an adjustment mechanism for a seat adjustment device of a motor vehicle can be joined together along a parting line via joint surfaces. The joint surfaces are provided for the purpose of reciprocal placement of the case parts by way of a joining process. Contact surfaces of the case parts are present in addition to the joint surfaces The contact surfaces are in non-parallel alignment to the joint surfaces. Transferred gear forces running parallel to at least a section of the joint surfaces are absorbed by the contact surfaces. The case parts are fastened to one another by way of screw connections. The contact surfaces of the one case part are respectively held in position with respect to the contact surfaces of the other case part solely due to the screw connections. With such a case, high loads can be absorbed in spite of a small size.

Gear case of a seat adjusting drive for a motor vehicle

In a longitudinal adjuster for a vehicle seat, in particular for an automobile seat, for motor-driven longitudinal adjustment of the vehicle seat (), having a first seat rail () defining the longitudinal direction, a second seat rail () that can be made to slide relative to the first seat rail (), a first drive element () in the first seat rail (), and a second drive element () cooperating with the first drive element () to achieve longitudinal adjustment, the second drive element () being mounted in a drive casing () belonging to the second seat rail (), the drive casing () being mounted longitudinally between two bearing plates () connected to the second seat rail (), and each bearing plate () is firmly attached to the second seat rail () on at least two sides.
