Abstract: A side member (10) for a vehicle seat (1), in particular motor vehicle seat, includes a metallic frame section (12). The frame section (12) has an exposed supporting section (14) for supporting a padding of the side member (10), wherein the supporting section (14) is flexurally elastic and, in a normal position, protrudes from the frame section (12) in order to support the padding, wherein at least one electrically controllable actuator (20) is provided, which, by generating a force, transfers the supporting section (14) from the normal position into a retracted position. The invention furthermore relates to a vehicle seat (1) having at least one side member (10).

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a pivotable backrest, a locking/unlocking mechanism and an adjustment mechanism. The backrest is counterbalanced such that torque produced by the weight of the backrest during pivoting is adjustable by a counter torque.

Abstract: A transmission device, in particular for the adjuster of a vehicle seat, is suitable for converting a linear driving motion into a rotary output motion. According to an exemplary embodiment, the device has at least one lever that extends radially relative to a driven axis and is connected thereto. The at least one lever has a free end that interacts with an inclined surface that is moveable in a substantially linear manner in the direction of a driven shaft.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drive system comprising components that can be combined to form modules, forming a plurality of drives and outputs having different properties, each combination of the components respectively containing a lower housing part, at least one motor, and a gear reduction consisting of a pinion and a toothed wheel. The drive system according to the invention is characterised by the following combinations of features: a) in order to create a basic drive, the toothed wheel comprises a reversible thread with a non-self-locking pitch and positive locking for an output, b) a control spring, a brake spring, an output, and a brake ring are used to produce a load moment block with a linear correlation between the braking moment (Mb) and the friction coefficient (?), and c) furthermore, different upper housing parts can be arranged on the drive system in order to create different drives and outputs.
