Abstract
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 ().
