Abstract

A vehicle seat (101, 201), includes a seat height adjusting multi-bar linkage (4) with five transmission links (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), operative in normal operation as a four-bar linkage based on a locking unit (10) acting between at least two transmission links (7, 8). In the event of a crash a crash blocking unit (121) locks a vehicle-structure-fixed frame (5) and a rocker (8) to each other, such that the multi-bar linkage (4) acts as a three-bar linkage. A transmission link (7) is arranged between the frame (5) and the rocker (8). In the event of a crash, the multi-bar link (4) acts as a five-bar linkage because of a load-controlled release of the locking unit (10), whereby locking of the crash blocking unit (121) can be triggered independently of a load-controlled release of the locking unit (10) by an inertia-controlled pawl (125) of the crash blocking unit (121).

Abstract

A vehicle seat fitting includes a relatively rotatable first fitting part, with toothed ring, and second fitting parts, with guide segments. Catches are guided between locked and unlocked states by the guide segments and interact with the toothed ring to lock the fitting. A spring-loaded rotatable eccentric acts such that the catches interact with the toothed ring. A rotatably supported driver rotates the eccentric. An indicator is connected to the driver or to a fastening ring fastened to the driver. An adapter is connected to an operating lever and is supported on the driver or on the fastening ring. A sensor, fastened to the adapter, is connected to the fitting, detects a position change of the indicator and provides an electrical output signal. The adapter is returned to an initial position by a restoring spring regardless of the locking state of the fitting if the operating lever is not actuated.

Abstract

A seat rail for a motor vehicle seat includes a lower rail, which can be connected to a motor vehicle, and a spindle, which is arranged on the lower rail in a rotationally fixed manner by a spindle retainer. The spindle retainer is fastened to the lower rail by a fastening element extending through a fastening opening on the spindle retainer and a fastening opening on the lower rail. In order to provide a seat rail having a lower rail on which rotation of the spindle retainer is largely precluded, in particular in the event of a threaded floor connection extending through the spindle retainer, the fastening openings and/or the fastening element has a cross-section deviating from a circular shape, preferably a polygonal cross-section, in a connection section arranged in the region of the fastening openings.
