Abstract: The seat back of a motor vehicle seat has a shoulder belt and a belt deflector. The belt deflector is associated with the seat back, is disposed in the region of an upper edge of the seat back and forms a deflection edge in which the shoulder belt is deflected by an angle of deflection. The deflection edge is partly formed by at least one sheave and the deflection edge is curved.

Abstract: A motor vehicle seat with a seat back hinge including a lower hinge arm associated with a seat carrier and an upper hinge arm associated with a seat back. A locking mechanism prevents the seat back tilting forward in a locked position and allows tilting of the seat back in a released position. The locking mechanism includes a handle, and a blocking lever hinged to the seat back that includes a blocking side. The upper hinge arm cooperates with the blocking side and a retaining catch stop. A retaining lever on the seat back forms a retaining lug which abuts the retaining catch stop in the tilted position of the seat back and retains the seat back in position. The blocking lever pivots upon actuation of the handle to abut the retaining lever, which is pivoted as a result, releasing the retaining lug from engagement with the retaining catch stop.

Abstract: The vehicle seat of a vehicle has a seat carrier with a side part, a buckle of a safety belt positioned thereon and a vertically adjustable underframe. The underframe is provided with a sector gear. An engaging element is arranged on the seat carrier and is designed to cooperate with the sector gear. During normal, non-accidental circumstances, the sector gear is in a rest position in which the engaging element is free from the sector gear. The buckle is connected to an upper end of a rope that cooperates with the engaging element. In an accident situation the engaging element engages the sector gear. A tightening unit for the belt has a driving cylinder. The rope is deflected in its direction at a point of deflection. A lower portion of the rope runs substantially in longitudinal direction of the side part. The other end of the rope is arranged on the driving cylinder. A holder for the tightening unit is provided on the side part.

The underframe is provided with a sector. An engaging element is arranged on the seat carrier and is designed to cooperate with the sector gear. During normal, non-accidental circumstances of the vehicle the sector gear is in a position of rest in which the engaging element is free from the sector gear. The buckle is connected to an upper end of a means with tensile strength that is connected to cooperate with the engaging element. In an accident situation the engaging element engages the sector gear. There is provided a tightening unit for the belt that has a driving cylinder. The means with tensile strength is deflected in its direction at a point of deflection. A lower portion of the means with tensile strength runs substantially in longitudinal direction of the side part. The other end of the means with tensile strength is arranged on the driving cylinder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a longitudinal guide for a motor vehicle seat with a pair of carries comprising a seat carrier and a sliding bottom carrier, which are movable towards each other in their longitudinal direction and which are in contact with each other by means of sliding devices and/or rollers, whereby each carrier a) possesses at least two guide areas and each guide area of one carrier is adapted in a form to the related guide area of the other carrier in such a way that sliding devices and/or rollers are each taken up between two guide areas of different carries and b) possesses at least one area of gearing, which is modelled in such a way that it does not come into contact with at least one area of gearing of the corresponding other carrier under normal circumstances, but comes into contact, if the two carriers are separated from each other, and obstructs such a separation by means of gearing.
