Patent number: 9139112Abstract: An adjustment fitting, in particular for a vehicle seat, comprising a first fitting part and a second fitting part that can be rotationally adjusted relative to the first part about an axis of rotation. An external gear, which has internal teeth and into which an internal gear that is associated with the second fitting part and has external teeth is inserted eccentrically to the axis of rotation like an eccentric gear, is associated with the first fitting part. The internal gear forms an eccentric receiving space towards the axis of rotation. The adjustment fitting further comprises an eccentric member that is rotatably inserted into the eccentric receiving space, and a drive shaft for driving the eccentric member. The external gear is designed as a ring gear that has a bottom and an external wall which axially extends beyond the internal teeth.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2010Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8789677Abstract: An adjustment device for adjusting a vehicle seat component is provided. The adjustment device comprising a rotary fitting for adjusting the vehicle seat component, which includes a first fitting part and a second fitting part pivotally mounted with respect to the first fitting part about an axis of rotation, a drive device connected with the rotary fitting for driving the rotary fitting, and an adjustment element of the drive device for actuating the drive device. The drive device is formed to transmit a force present on the adjustment element on the drive side for adjusting the vehicle seat component to the rotary fitting, but to block a force present on the rotary fitting on the output side.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2010Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.

An external gear, which has internal teeth and into which an internal gear that is associated with the second fitting part and has external teeth is inserted like an eccentric gear, is associated with the first fitting part. The internal gear forms an eccentric receiving space towards the axis of rotation. The adjustment fitting further comprises an eccentric member that is rotatably inserted into the eccentric receiving space and is equipped with a drive shaft for driving the eccentric member, and a cap for covering the open receiving space. The cap is eccentrically designed relative to the axis of rotation, penetrates into the eccentric receiving space by means of an axially downward-pulled sealing edge, and seals the receiving space as the sealing edge is preloaded in a radially outward direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2010Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20120280555Abstract: A seat component for a seat, in particular a vehicle seat, is provided. The seat component is connectable with an actuating shaft such that a rotary movement of the actuating shaft can be transmitted to the seat component, in order to e.g. provide for swiveling a first vehicle part of a vehicle seat relative to a second vehicle part of the vehicle seat. Preferably, swiveling of a backrest is permitted relative to a seat part with a seating surface. The seat component furthermore includes a cutout for connection with an actuating shaft, which is formed and provided for a positive engagement of a shaft portion of the actuating shaft. In accordance with the invention it is provided that the cutout furthermore is formed such that one of at least two shaft portions with different cross-sectional profiles each selectively can positively be held in the cutout.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2012Publication date: November 8, 2012Inventors: André Blinzler, Matthias Weiß, Frieder Krüger, Michael Heilingloh, Volker Möller, Jürgen Siller
