A vehicle seat structure has a structural component which has an automatic belt unit. The automatic belt unit is arranged in a hollow space of the structural component and the structural component is connected in a positive-locking and/or materially engaging and/or non-positive-locking manner to at least one other component of the vehicle seat structure. The vehicle seat structure has a seat substructure and the structural component which has an automatic belt unit forms a component of the seat substructure. The structural component which has the automatic belt unit forms a seat frame side portion of the seat substructure A method for assembling such a vehicle seat structure is also provided.

Vehicle seat structure and method for assembling a vehicle seat structure

A vehicle seat structure for a vehicle seat may have a structural component having an inertia belt reel. The inertia belt reel may be arranged in a cavity of the structural component, and the structural component may be connected to at least one further component of the vehicle seat structure. A method for assembling such a vehicle seat structure may include providing a structural component having an inertia belt reel and at least one further component of the vehicle seat structure that are displaced and/or rotated relative to one another such that the structural component and the at least one further component of the vehicle seat structure take up an end position with respect to one another. In a further step, the structural component and the at least one further component of the vehicle seat structure are connected to one another in a form-fitting and/or integrally bonded and/or force-fitting manner.

A vehicle seat may have a seat part and a backrest. At least the seat part or the backrest may have a frame. The frame may have at least one frame side part. The frame side part may have an embossing for attaching a gas pressure generator for an airbag.
