  • Patent number: 11292365
    Abstract: An adjusting device for a vehicle seat may have a first adjustable assembly, a second adjustable assembly, and an electric motor. The electric motor may be operatively connected both to an adjustment gearing of the first adjustable assembly as well as to an adjustment gearing of the second adjustable assembly by at least one output shaft. A motor support may be provided which receives the electric motor, and the motor support may be secured to the two adjustable assemblies via a respective adapter. The motor support may have a metal material as a single piece. The adapters may be made of a non-metal material. A method for assembling the adjusting device may include first securing the adapters to the respective paired adjustable assembly. The motor support may be connected to the adapters in an additional step.

  • Patent number: 10734863
    Abstract: A fastening arrangement (B?), for fastening of an electric motor (2) to a seat (S), includes a motor retaining element (F1, F2) and a motor locking element (A). The motor retaining element (F1, F2) is configured such that the electric motor (2) is adjustable into a rotational position (D). The motor locking element (A) is configured such that the electric motor (2) can be locked in a set rotational position (D). The motor locking element (A) is configured such that the electric motor (2) is retained so as to be non-displaceable in an axial direction and is secured against rotation by a torque lock. The motor locking element (A) has a polygonal profile (P). The outer profile of the motor locking element (A) has multiple surfaces distributed uniformly over the circumference, which surfaces form the shape of a polygon.

    Abstract: An adjusting device (100, 200) for a vehicle seat, includes a first adjustable assembly (20), a second adjustable assembly (22), and an electric motor (24). The electric motor is operatively connected both to an adjustment gearing (32) of the first adjustable assembly as well as to an adjustment gearing of the second adjustable assembly (22) by means of at least one output shaft (36). A motor support (110, 210) is provided which receives the electric motor, and the motor support is secured to the two adjustable assemblies (20, 22) via a respective adapter (120, 220). The motor support has a metal material as a single piece. The adapters are made of a non-metal material. A method for assembling the adjusting device includes first securing the adapters to the respective paired adjustable assembly. The motor support is connected to the adapters in an additional step.

  • Patent number: 9546716
    Abstract: An adjusting drive, in particular for a steering column adjuster or a vehicle seat of a motor vehicle, and a method for producing an adjusting drive, are provided in which an axial play of the output shaft is reliably and permanently compensated. The compensating element for ensuring the axial-play-free arrangement of the output shaft is connected, in its operating position, to the housing by ultrasound welding.
