  • Height adjustment device of a vehicle seat and a vehicle seat fitted with it
    Patent number: 7770974
    Abstract: A height adjustment device of a vehicle seat comprises a control valve means for governing the degree of filling of a compressed air actuator. Following an alteration in the weight to be carried by the compressed air actuator there is a relative switching over movement between a component bearing a control cam slide and a component bearing an actuating member entailing the switch over of the control valve means. The relative switching over movement is a linear movement, the two components bearing the slide and the actuating member being guided for relative sliding linear motion in the direction of the switch over movement. Furthermore a vehicle seat having such a height adjustment device is provided.

  • Fluid-activated linear drive
    Patent number: 7055423
    Abstract: A fluid power linear drive has a drive housing (1) in which a housing chamber (4) is located containing at least one piston (5). The drive housing possesses two housing parts (2 and 3) placed alongside each other, which at mutually facing joint faces (16 and 17) are provided with half chambers (18a and 18b) constituted by elongated, groove-like recesses, which half chambers are united in a complementary fashion to form at least one housing chamber (4).
