A lower leg support device for a vehicle seat may have a first cushion carrier, a second cushion carrier, which is connected in an articulated manner to the first cushion carrier, and a coupling gear for transferring the first cushion carrier and the second cushion carrier from a non-use position to a use position. The coupling gear is able to be driven by a drive device. A vehicle seat may have the lower leg support device.

Lower leg support device for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat

A backrest adjuster () is provided for a seat. The seat includes a backrest () that can be adjusted relative to a seat part () by a fitting () and which is arranged in a longitudinally displaceable manner. When the backrest () is displaced from a seating position (P) to an entry position (P), a gear unit () actuates a tension element () that unlatches a rail adjuster () and latches same when the backrest () is displaced in the opposite position. A vehicle seat is provided that includes such a backrest adjuster ().

Backrest adjuster for a seat, and vehicle seat

The invention relates to a forward pivot mechanism for positioning a seat back of a vehicle seat into at least one forward position and for positioning the seat back beyond the forward position into at least one further forward position, comprising a comfort lock for positioning and locking the seat back into a least one seated position, and comprising an easy entry latch for positioning the seat back into the at least one forward position, wherein a pivot range of the seat back into one of the forward positions can be limited by means of the easy entry latch, wherein the easy-entry latch is designed in such a way that it forms a forward limit stop during the shifting of the seat back from one of the seated positions into one of the forward positions.

Forward pivot mechanism for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat

A fitting () with a pivoting-forwards mechanism, positioning a backrest () of a vehicle seat () into a forward position, a comfort lock, positioning the backrest into a comfort region seat position (A to C), and an expanded comfort function, positioning the backrest beyond the front position into a loading platform position (E). The fitting includes a fitting part () and a driver (). A pivoting range of the backrest is limited in the forward position by an easy-entry latch () engaging in the fitting part (). The easy-entry latch, when the backrest is adjusted between the seat positions in the comfort region, bears against a stop () mounted on the backrest and, in the forward position, is prevented by the stop from pivoting further forwards, and, when the backrest is set upright from the forward position into one of the seat positions, pivots controlled by the stop.

Fitting with a pivoting-forwards mechanism and easy-entry latch, and vehicle seat with such a fitting

An easy-entry system (EE) for a vehicle seat () with a backrest () and a seat cushion (), in arrangement with a fitting () for adjusting the inclination of the backrest () relative to the seat cushion () at least within a comfort range and optionally with an extended comfort function for positioning the backrest () beyond an easy-entry position into a loading floor position. The system includes, for initiating an easy-entry function, at least one actuating lever () which is coupled via at least one tension element () to an unlocking lever () for unlocking the inclination adjustment of the backrest (). A translatory movement of the tension element () is transformed by means of a sliding element () of a transmission arrangement () into a rotatory movement of the unlocking lever () for opening the fitting ().

Easy-entry system and vehicle seat with an integrated easy-entry system

A longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat () includes a lower rail () and a longitudinally displaceably guided upper rail. A lower rail mounted end stop () delimits a comfort adjustment region interacting with an upper rail mounted stop element (). The upper stop element () can be displaced beyond the comfort adjustment region into an easy entry region and is part of a stop module () that is pivotable about a pivot axis (S). The stop module () includes a deflector element () that moves upwards, when the stop element () has not been shifted away, in the vertical direction upon contact with a screw head () that is located in the cavity between the upper rail () and the lower rail (). The upper stop element () form-fittingly engages with the end stop () when the end stop () is reached.

Longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat

A vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, has a seat part and a backrest which is provided with a backrest frame which runs all around as a load-bearing structure. The backrest frame has a lower crossmember, two side parts and an upper crossmember. The backrest can pivot relative to the seat part by at least one fitting which is attached to the backrest frame. At least one corner piece is provided as part of the backrest frame, which corner piece connects the lower crossmember to one of the seat parts. The fitting is attached to the corner piece.

Vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat

In a vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat, with a seat part, a backrest which, as a supporting structure, has a backrest structure with at least one side part, and at least one fitting by which the backrest is connected to the seat part and can be pivoted relative thereto, wherein a distance is defined in an axial direction between the fitting and the side part, the backrest structure has at least one profile body which is fixedly connected at one end to the side part and at the other end to the fitting and which at least partially has a profile which is constant in the axial direction.

Vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat

A vehicle seat, has a seat part, a backrest, and at least one fitting, by which the back rest is attached pivotably to the seat part. The fitting has a first fitting part connected to the backrest and a second fitting part connected to the seat part. The fittings are normally located in the force flux between the backrest and seat part. The seat has at least one deformation zone which is deformed in the event of a crash. A supporting element is mounted on the backrest and a supporting element is mounted on the seat part, the supporting elements normally being spaced apart from each other and, in the event of a crash, coming into contact with each other because of the deformation of the deformation zone to provide a further force flux path lying parallel to the fitting.

A vehicle seat can be moved from a starting position to a laterally offset end position and back, and the vehicle seat is oriented in the same direction in the starting position and in the end position. The vehicle seat includes a first upper rail, which is movably guided in a first lower rail, a second upper rail, which is movably guided in a second lower rail, and a seat cushion, which is movably mounted on the at least one upper rail. The lateral motion of the seat cushion relative to the rails is accomplished by carrying out a predetermined relative motions of the rails.

Vehicle seat

A longitudinal adjuster for a vehicle seat () has a first seat rail () fixed to the vehicle structure and arranged on a vehicle floor () and a second seat rail () fixed to the seat and displaceable in relation to the first seat rail () and guided in same. A position detection device () is provided with a sensor (), having a magnet and a Hall element. The sensor () is arranged in the interior of the second seat rail () and aligned with a flat area associated with the first seat rail () in which one end of the flat area corresponds to the end of the rail and the flat area forms a detection area. The sensor () is used to detect an end of the detection area. The sensor () has a certain detection range and the distance between the sensor () and the detection area lies within the certain detection range of the sensor (). The distance between the sensor () and the vehicle floor () lies outside of the certain detection range of the sensor ().
