Abstract: A bearing arrangement (4), for a rear seat arrangement of a vehicle, includes a bearing pin (5.2) which forms a rotational axis and a rotary bearing (5.3) which can be pushed onto the bearing pin (5.2). The bearing pin (5.2) and the rotary bearing (5.3) each have a mutually corresponding structure which secures the bearing pin (5.2) and the rotary bearing (5.3) against axial and radial movements relative to each other in a use position. The bearing pin (5.2) can be guided through openings (01, 02) of the rotary bearing (5.3) during assembly. The use position, which is secured against axial and radial movements, can be subsequently adjusted by pivoting the bearing pin (5.2) and/or the rotary bearing (5.3). A method for assembling the bearing arrangement (4) is also provided.

Abstract: A fitting for a vehicle seat has a first fitting part and a second fitting part that relatively rotate about an axis. A toothed rim (17) is on the first fitting part and guide segments (14) are on the second fitting part. Bars (16) are guided by the guide segments between an unlocked state and a locked state, interacting with the toothed rim. A spring-loaded, rotatably mounted eccentric (27) urges the bars to interact with the toothed rim. A rotatable driver (21) rotates the eccentric. A fastening ring (24) is connected to the driver. A cam (24n) is formed on the fastening ring and bears in the circumferential direction against a driver cam (21 f) of the driver. The fastening ring has a collar (24b) with a passage (24d) about the axis. The cam is formed within the passage such that it is oriented in the radial direction towards the axis.

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.

The seat rail pair has two seat rails that can be displaced relatively to one another and which can be locked together by a rail locking mechanism. The vehicle seat can be shifted by the seat mechanism from a use position to a non-use position. A coupler couples the seat mechanism and the seat locking mechanism together in such a way that a least one seat rail pair is locked in the use position and the non-use position of the vehicle seat and is unlocked in an intermediate position of the vehicle seat located between the use position and the non-use position.
