Patent number: 8961056Abstract: An adjusting device for a vehicle component includes a first fitting part arranged on an axis of rotation and a second fitting part arranged on the axis of rotation. The relative position of the first fitting part and the second fitting part with respect to each other is adjustable. The adjusting device also includes an eccentric arranged on and rotatable about the axis of rotation and a plurality of first rotating members arranged concentrically about the eccentric. The first rotating members are configured to roll along the first fitting part. The adjusting device further includes a plurality of subcomponents that each include a first fitting-part element of the first fitting part and a second fitting-part element of the second fitting part. The plurality of subcomponents are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry that extends at right angles to the axis of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2005Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Johnson Controls GmbHInventors: Jürgen Otto, Ingo Kienke, Martin Zynda, Joachim Blenz, Kirubaharan Albert, Mario Budweg

Patent number: 8282167Abstract: Disclosed is an adjustment fitting for a motor vehicle component, especially a vehicle seat. Said adjustment fitting comprises a first part and a second part which is rotatable relative to the first part about a rotational shaft by means of a gear unit. The gear unit encompasses a first gear on the first part of the fitting and a second gear on the second part of the fitting, the second gear being disposed eccentric to the first gear. Two wedge segments are provided for securing the eccentric arrangement of the first gear relative to the second gear. The inventive adjustment fitting is characterized in that the wedge segments have an inner radius and an outer radius while the adjustment fitting further comprises a decelerating element which is fitted with an extension that starts at the rotational shaft, runs in an axial direction, and corresponds approximately to the outer radius of the wedge segments.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2007Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Johnson Controls GmbHInventors: Albert Kirubaharan, Ingo Kienke, Mario Budweg, Jurgen Otto

Patent number: 8282168Abstract: A component for a vehicle seat includes a plurality of plate-like elements generally parallel to one another, with pairs of the elements being connected, such as by welding. At least one element of each pair has a bend that creates a gap spacing with respect to the other element of the pair. Each element is connected to a next element to form a further pair in the region of the spacing.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2007Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Ingo Kienke, Jurgen Otto, Mario Budweg, Kirubaharan Reginold Albert
