Patent number: 9428083Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat with a roller guide. The roller guide includes at least one guide rail, and at least one roller received in the guide rail. A roller cover part of the roller is rollable with a running surface of the roller. The roller cover part is divided into a first circumferential surface-like functional region and a second circumferential surface-like functional region which are arranged one behind the other in a direction of a shaft of the roller. The first region is deformable by pressurization by seat occupation. The first region is in contact with an inner wall on a lower side of the roller and with an inner wall on the upper side of the roller. An outer diameter of the second region has an undersize with respect to a spacing between the inner wall on the upper and lower sides of the roller.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2015Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: GRAMMER AGInventors: Norbert Lehner, Dirk Kaessner
