A locking unit (), for a vehicle seat (), includes a locking pawl () which is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position and which has a retention contour () for securing a locking bolt () in the closed position. At least one claw (), offset in the axial direction with respect to the locking pawl (), is mounted so as to be pivotable about the same pivot axis. The claw () has a closure contour (). The locking pawl () can be pivoted from the open position to the closed position by the closure contour () being acted upon by the locking bolt ().

Locking unit for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat

A locking unit () for a vehicle seat () includes a pawl () which is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position and has a retaining contour () for securing a locking pin () in the closed position. At least one claw () is mounted pivotably about the same pivot axis in a manner offset in the axial direction with respect to the pawl (). The claw () has a closing contour (). The pawl () is pivotable from the open position into the closed position by the closing contour () being acted upon by the locking pin ().

A locking device for a vehicle seat has a latch which is mounted pivotably about a second axis and is intended for locking a counter element, with a clamping eccentric which is mounted pivotably about a first axis parallel to the second axis and, by interaction with a first functional surface of the latch, secures a locked state of the latch. In the locked state, the clamping eccentric acts in a spring-loaded manner on the first functional surface via a clamping surface. The clamping eccentric is moveable from the locking position thereof into the unlocking position thereof. A pretensioned compression spring is provided, which is supported at one end thereof on an arm of the clamping eccentric in a manner spring-loading the latter into the locking position thereof and, at the other end thereof, acting upon the latch in the unlocking direction.

Locking device and vehicle seat

A locking device for a vehicle seat has a catch which is mounted such that it can be pivoted about a second axis and is intended for locking a mating element, and has a clamping eccentric which is mounted such that it can be pivoted about a first axis, between a locking position and an unlocking position and secures a locked state of the catch by interaction with a first functional surface of the catch. In the locked state, the clamping eccentric acts on the first functional surface via a clamping surface. An unlocking element is mounted such that it can be pivoted about the second axis by an actuating device, counter to a spring force, out of a locking position into an unlocking position. The unlocking element and the clamping eccentric have arranged between them a bias spring element.

A locking device for a vehicle seat, includes a pawl for locking a mating element, which pawl is pivotally supported about a first axis, and a tensioning eccentric that is pivotally supported about a second axis, which is parallel to the first axis, between a locking position and an unlocking position and ensures a locked state of the pawl owing to the interaction with a first functional surface of the pawl, the tensioning eccentric acting upon the first functional surface by a tensioning surface when spring-loaded and locked, an unlocking element being pivotable about the first axis counter to a spring force from a locking position to an unlocking position by an actuation device and the tensioning eccentric being pivotally engaged by the unlocking element from its locking position towards its unlocking position.

Locking device

An indicator apparatus for signaling that a foldable backrest of a seat in a motor vehicle is not locked includes a handle pivoted between a locked position and an unlocked position about a pivot axis, a locking apparatus having a catch that, by working of the handle can be moved between a blocked position and an unblocked position, and an indicator element guided between a non-indication position and an indication position and movable by a transition element. The transmission element comprises a spring element that is fixedly connected both to the handle and to the indicator element. The spring element is resistant to deformation as the indicator element is moved by the handle, but can be deformed in an elastic manner when the handle is located in the unlocked position and the indicator element is moved out of the indication position into the non-indication position.

Indicator apparatus

A locking mechanism () for a vehicle seat includes a latch () that is to be interlocked with an opposite element (B) and is mounted to be pivotable about a first bearing bolt (), at least one securing element () that secures the latch () in the locked state, and a movable unlocking handle (). The unlocking handle () is directly hinged to one of the securing elements () by means of a single pivot point ().

Locking mechanism for a vehicle seat

A lock for a vehicle seat has a catch which is pivotable about a catch axis between a release position and a locking position in order to cooperate with a locking bolt or a locking clip of a vehicle structure, and has an ejector. The ejector has a spring element disposed in a housing of the lock. The ejector can be brought into abutment against the vehicle structure or the locking bolt or locking clip by a biased spring element.

Vehicle seat latch

A locking mechanism () for a vehicle seat, particularly for a motor vehicle seat, includes a latch that is to be interlocked with an opposite element (B) and is mounted to be pivotable about a first bearing bolt (), at least one securing element () that secures the latch () in the locked state, and a lock housing () which supports the latch () and the securing element (). The lock housing () has an integrated first stop () for the opposite element (B). The stop () has a damping effect when the opposite element (B) rests against the lock housing ().

A spring (), for a locking device of a vehicle seat, is designed as a yoke spring defining an axis (A) and made of a spring wire. A cross section diameter (q) has one leg () on each of both ends of the spring wire. The two legs () can pivot relative to each other in a circumferential direction of the axis (A), thereby transitioning the spring () from a relaxed state into a tensioned state. At least one first winding () is provided between the legs () that is wound completely around the axis (A) and having a winding diameter (di) in the relaxed state. At least one adjacent second winding () is provided between the legs () and disposed offset along by the axis (A) by a pitch (h), wherein the second winding () may optionally be wound not fully about the axis (A). The second winding () has a winding diameter (d) in the relaxed state. The pitch (h) is less than the cross section diameter (q).

Spring, in particular for a locking device of a vehicle seat

A locking mechanism () for a vehicle seat, particularly for a motor vehicle seat, includes a latch () that is to be interlocked with an opposite element (B) and is mounted to be pivotable about a first bearing bolt (), and at least one securing element () that secures the latch () in the locked state. A cap () which rests on the latch () covers at least part of the edge of a hook opening of the latch ().

In the case of a locking device (), in particular for a vehicle seat, with a housing (); a latch () which is arranged in the housing (), is pivotably mounted on a first bearing element () and is intended for locking with a mating element (B); and at least one securing element () which is likewise arranged in the housing (), is pivotably mounted on a second bearing element () and secures a locked state by interaction with the latch (), the housing () has at least one insert () of a higher strength material, and at least one of the bearing elements () and the insert () are joined together and are at least partially encased by a softer material, forming the housing ().

Locking device for a vehicle seat

In the case of a locking mechanism () for a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle seat, having an open housing (), a latch () which is mounted pivotably on the housing () and is intended for locking with a mating element (B), and at least one securing element () which is likewise mounted pivotably on the housing () and, by interaction with the latch (), secures a locked state, the locking mechanism () is attachable to a structural part (), and the structural part () forms the cover for the substantial closing of the housing ().
