  • Patent number: 8474908
    Abstract: Disclosed is a seat element (1) for a seat system, which extends substantially across an entire zone of a backrest and/or a seat area of a seat in a mounted state. Said seat element (1) comprises devices (12-21) for receiving functional elements in order to provide additional seat functions. Such a modular seat system makes it possible to create in a simple manner different fittings of a seat, especially a vehicle seat.

  • Publication number: 20120086250
    Abstract: An adjusting device for adjusting a side cheek of a seat comprises a bending element (31) which is to be coupled to the side cheek and the curvature of which can be reversibly changed, and a holder with a base section (36) and a pivoting section (37) pivotably attached thereto. The adjusting device is designed in such a way that, when a force is exerted by means of an actuating device (21, 22), the bending element (31) is first displaced relative to the holder and then bent, so that a section (34) to be coupled to the side cheek executes a movement which runs first rectilinearly and then arcuately and which is transmitted to the side cheek of the seat.

  • Publication number: 20090051200
    Abstract: For the height adjustment of a side cheek (6) of a seat (5), a pulling force is exerted with the aid of a corresponding adjusting mechanism (4) on a movable component (7, 8) of the side cheek (6) in order to variably adjust the height of the side cheek (6). For this purpose, in particular an adjusting element (11) which is mounted displaceably on a link (9) is preferably displaced along a guide opening (10) provided in the link (9) in order to describe a predefined curve along which the side cheek is lowered or raised.

  • Publication number: 20090045661
    Abstract: A seat-component adjusting device of a compact overall size and with a high transmission ratio comprises an electric motor (10), a worm gear (11, 12) coupled at the input side to the electric motor, an eccentric gear (13, 14) coupled at the input side to the worm gear, and a rotary element (17) coupled by coupling means (21, 22) to the eccentric gear (13, 14). The coupling means (21, 22) are designed to convert a wobbling movement of a rotor (13) of the eccentric gear into a rotational movement of the rotary element (17).

  • Patent number: 7357454
    Abstract: An adjustment device is provided for adjusting the height of a side cheek (1) of a seat, whereby the side cheek (1) has a compressible section. The adjustment device comprises pressure means (3) allocated to the compressible section, which are designed in such a way that in a first state they exert a compression pressure on the compressible section, and that in a second state they do not exert any compression pressure on the compressible section. With a device of this kind, a simple height adjustment of the side cheek can be achieved, for example for the purpose of facilitating entry into a motor vehicle.
