Abstract
The vehicle seat has a seat carrier and an underframe. The underframe comprises two bottom rails, two seat rails, two front supports, and two rear pivoting supports. A buckle of a safety belt is provided. Tensile loads acting on the buckle are transferred into the underframe. The bottom rail neighboring the buckle is provided with a side part that extends upward toward the seat carrier. A slot is configured in this side part and is oriented substantially transversely to a direction of a force acting on the buckle during of a frontal crash. A sliding member is provided and is guided in the slot. A pull-type strap is arranged between the buckle and the sliding member. A connecting rod is arranged between the neighboring rear pivoting support and the sliding member. Whenever the seat carrier is adjusted in height, the neighboring rear pivoting support is pivoted and the connecting rod displaces the sliding member in the slot, causing the buckle to follow the movement of the seat carrier.
