Abstract
A seat cushion adjustment for vehicle seats, more particularly the seats of motor vehicles, depends on the adjustment path of at least one main adjustment of the seat and serves for adapting the development curve of the seat cushion adjustment individually and ergonomically. The seat cushion adjustment includes a first adjustment for a main adjustment of the vehicle seat within a defined adjustment area, and a second adjustment coupled to the first adjustment for adjusting the seat cushion in dependence on a main adjustment of the vehicle seat. The seat cushion adjustment also includes a separate adjustment coupled to the first or second adjustment for fixing the development curve of the seat cushion adjustment within a restricted adjustment area, whereby the extreme positions of the seat cushion are associated with the extreme positions of at least one main adjustment of the vehicle seat. Configured in this manner, the seat cushion adjustment eliminates the possibility that the predetermined outer adjustment range limits of the seat cushion will be exceeded.
