Abstract
An energy absorber () for a vehicle seat (), in particular for a linear adjuster () of the vehicle seat (), includes a deformation element (). The deformation element () is deformable by forces occurring in a vehicle collision. The energy absorber () includes a bending element () that releases the deformation element (). Upon achieving a bending load acting on the bending element (), the bending element () bends and the bending element () thereby releases the deformation element () to a lesser extent. A linear adjuster () for a vehicle seat () is also provided, having the energy absorber (). Further, a vehicle seat () is provided having at least such one linear adjuster ().
