Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle seat comfort system, in which method pneumatic components are supplied with fluid by opening and closing at least one solenoid valve. This is done by opening and closing the solenoid valve by moving a movable part, preferably a piston, of the solenoid valve between an open position and a closed position by applying an electrical supply voltage (V). During the closing phase of the solenoid valve, the supply voltage (V) thereof is reduced in the form of a voltage ramp, preferably in a linear manner, or the solenoid valve runs through at least one cycle or a plurality of cycles. Each cycle comprises at least one first phase (P1) and a second phase (P2) after the first phase. The supply voltage (V) of the solenoid valve is adjusted such that, in the first phase (P1), the movable part of the solenoid valve is accelerated in the direction of the closed position of the solenoid valve and, in the second phase (P2), the supply voltage (V) of the solenoid valve is adjusted such that the acceleration of the moving part that took place in the first phase (P1) is decelerated.

Abstract

A method for actuating a fluid actuator in a motor vehicle seat system having a motor vehicle seat and a pneumatic system for actuating a seat function. The pneumatic system has a pump and the fluid actuator housed in the motor vehicle seat. The pump motor is an electric motor controlled by a PWM signal and is set up to fill the fluid actuator with fluid within a filling phase. The pneumatic system is set up to withdraw fluid from a fluid actuator filled with fluid, in an emptying phase. The fluid actuator runs through a plurality of filling phases and emptying phases in succession. The duty cycle of the PWM signal is set to a working level during a filling phase and is lowered to a lower level between filling phases. The lower level is dimensioned such that the rotor of the pump motor can still rotate.

The invention relates to a vehicle seat crash securing device (1) used for a vehicle seat of a motorized vehicle. The vehicle seat crash securing device (1) comprises a locking device for locking a height of a seat cushion frame. An actuator (3) is actuated in the case of a crash for tightening a belt rope (5). A blocking element in a blocking position holds a locking element of the locking device in an unlocked position. In a releasing position, the blocking element releases the locking element. The locking element is biased by a spring element into the locked position. The blocking element can be moved by a friction force generated by the actuator (3) from the blocking position into the releasing position. Preferably, the friction force is generated by a follower (8) (e.g. a friction wheel (9)), the follower (8) being pressed against the belt rope (5). The movement of the follower (8) is coupled to the movement of the blocking element.

Abstract

A frame for a vehicle seat comprises two side parts and swing arms pivotable in relation thereto for height adjustment of the frame. The swiveling of the swing arms can be caused by operating two actuator arms. Each actuator arm is associated with another swing arm so that the associated swing arm can be swiveled by actuating the respective actuator arm.

Abstract

An adjustment drive of a motor vehicle seat is provided, the adjustment drive, having a control pinion. The control pinion, in the event of a collision, is subjected to a torque which acts from the structure of the motor vehicle seat. Overload protection is provided for an adjustment drive of a motor vehicle seat against forces which act in the event of a collision, using a simple device. This is achieved by the control pinion being rigidly connected to a torsion bar, and the control pinion is situated in an extension of the rotational axis of the control pinion, and free end of the torsion bar being integrated into a drive of the control pinion in a rotationally fixed manner.

Abstract

Longitudinally adjustable motor vehicle seat comprising opposite rail pairs; a lower rail for securement to a chassis and an upper rail secured to a seat component, displaceable in the lower rail. Two pivotable levers are associated with the rail pairs. A second lever is connected to a locking mechanism for securing the upper rail; both levers are connected to a seat backrest. Upon operation of a control member connected to the levers for comfort-longitudinal seat adjustment, a first lever synchronously pivots the second lever to release the locking mechanism. A Bowden cable is connected to the backrest for adjustment when the backrest is folded forward into an easy-entry-position. A Bowden cable core is attached to the first lever, and a sheathing thereof is secured to the second lever. In a neutral position, the sheathing presses the first lever against an abutment secured to the upper rail.

Abstract

The invention relates to an unlocking mechanism for a vehicle seat longitudinal locking system, wherein the unlocking mechanism comprises: an unlocking lever for releasing the seat longitudinal locking system, a control cable (14) for actuating the unlocking lever, and a driver system (18) which comprises an active driver means (30), which is provided on a backrest structural part (2), and a passive driven means (26) connected to the control cable (14), wherein the passive driven means (26) cannot be driven along when the backrest structural part (2) is pivoted into the upright use position thereof within a first pivoting range, and can be driven along by the active driver means (30) when the backrest structural part (2) is folded forwards beyond the first pivoting range, thereby producing a pulling action to pivot the unlocking lever and thereby unlocking the seat longitudinal locking system.

Abstract

The invention relates to a cushion part, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a foam element and a cover that covers the foam element, said cover being fastened to the foam element by means of a zipper, wherein a fabric strip of a zipper half is foamed into the foam element at the base of a basting groove provided in the foam element. The aim of the invention is to provide a zipper that enables a curved course of the basting point between the cover and the foam element and at the same time reliably prevents foam from reaching the teeth or closing elements when a half of the zipper is foamed in. Said aim is achieved in that flexible sealing elements (4-10) are integrated into the fabric strip (2) of the zipper half (1) and prevent foam from entering the basting groove (14) when the fabric strip (2) of the zipper half (1) is foamed in.
