  • Patent number: 10286812
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat with a roller guide, wherein the roller guide has at least one at least partially laterally open guide rail and at least one running roller rolling in the guide rail and connected to parts of the vehicle seat by means of at least one axle, wherein the guide rail comprises a roller bottom-side inner wall arranged parallel to a central axis of the running roller, extending parallel thereto a roller top-side inner wall and a roller outer-side inner wall arranged perpendicularly to the central axis, wherein at least one lower transition inner wall is arranged between the roller bottom-side inner wall and the roller outer-side inner wall and at least one upper transition inner wall is arranged between the roller top-side inner wall and the roller outer-side inner wall, wherein the transition inner walls are configured free from a right-angled portion and in directions from the roller top-side inner wall and the roller bottom-side inner wall towards the roller outer-side inne

  • Patent number: 9428083
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9079512
    Abstract: A vehicle seat with roller guide is provided, wherein the roller guide includes at least one guide rail, which is at least partially open at the side, and at least one roller which rolls in the guide rail and is connected by at least one shaft to parts of the vehicle seat, wherein a roller cover part of the roller can roll with a running surface of the roller along an inner wall, on the lower side of the roller, of the guide rail arranged parallel to or at an angle to the longitudinal course of the axis, wherein at least the roller cover part of the roller is made from material that can be deformed by pressurization by means of seat occupation and in a movement-free state without seat occupation rests on the inner wall, on the lower side of the roller, and an inner wall, running parallel thereto on the upper side of the roller, of the guide rail so as to make contact.
