Patent number: 8136882Abstract: A multi-way adjustment device, in particular a two-way adjustment device, is proposed for a seat component, which is suitable in particular for the seat-back width adjustment of a seat. The multi-way adjustment device comprises an adjustment part (7) adjustably mounted relative to a mounting plate a (1), which when moved in a first adjustment direction (A) requires less energy expenditure than when moved in a second adjustment direction (B). In order to compensate this, there are provided mechanical energy accumulation means (5), which takes up mechanical energy when the movement is in the first adjustment direction (A), in order to release this when the movement is in the second adjustment direction (B) and thus to assist the movement of the adjustment part (7) in the second adjustment direction (B).Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2004Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Schukra Geratebau AGInventors: Robert Kopetzky, Veit Stossel

Publication number: 20100207431Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2005Publication date: August 19, 2010Applicant: SCHUKRA GERATEBAU AGInventors: Jan Petzel, Thomas Preiss, Veit Stossel, David Anthony Swan, Renato Colja

Patent number: 7357454Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2005Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Schukra Geratebau AGInventors: Sven Schiener, Veit Stössel

Publication number: 20070296260Abstract: A head restraint arrangement with a hinged head restraint (1) is proposed, which is suitable in particular for use with rear seats of vehicles, so that by folding down the head restraint (1) on the one hand it can be ensured that the head restraint (1) is moved from the field of vision of the driver of the vehicle, while on the other hand the head restraint arrangement is configured in such a manner that complete folding down of the rear seat with the head restraint (1) attached to it is possible, since by virtue of a special mechanism (16-23) the head restraint (1), when folding down the rear seat, can fit into an intermediate gap between the rear seat and the corresponding front seat.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2005Publication date: December 27, 2007Applicant: Schukra Geratebau AGInventor: Veit Stossel

Publication number: 20070216207Abstract: A lumbar support with an archable supporting element (1-3) is proposed, wherein for the individual adjustment of the curvature of the archable supporting element (1-3) to the needs of the individual user, an adjustment mechanism (8-17) is provided, which is configured in such a manner that it can bring about both a curvature of the archable supporting element (1-3) into a first curvature direction, in which the archable supporting element (1-3) forms a convex supporting surface, and a curvature of the archable supporting element (1-3) into a second curvature direction, in which the archable supporting element (1-3) forms a concave supporting surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2004Publication date: September 20, 2007Applicant: SCHUKRA GERATEBAUInventors: Veit Stossel, Andreas Mahler

Publication number: 20070144301Abstract: An adjustment device for a Bowden cable arrangement is described in the form of a manual lock or tensioning lock, which comprises a housing (10), a threaded spindle (70) guided in the housing (10) in a torsionally-resistant and axially movable manner, which is to be connected by a wire to the Bowden cable arrangement, and two half-shell elements (50), which are arranged in the housing (10) in an axially-secure and rotatable manner, and are in threaded engagement with the threaded spindle (70). Located at the housing (10) is a shoulder element (16) with an opening (13) through which the wire of the Bowden cable arrangement is guided in the axial direction out of the adjustment device. Allocated to the shoulder element (16) is a sleeve (30), which is to be placed in positive fit on the shoulder element (16) and prevents any deformation of the shoulder element (16) when the adjustment device is actuated.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2004Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: Schukra Geratebau AGInventors: Robert Kopetzky, Veit Stossel, Frank Falster

Publication number: 20060011011Abstract: An actuation device is provided for actuating a traction element (5), the actuation element comprising in particular a pivotally mounted force transmission element (1) for transferring an actuation force to the traction element (5). The force transmission element comprises first stop means (7), the actuation device further comprises second stop means (9), whereby a possible angle of rotation of the force transmission element (1) is limited. The first stop means (7) and/or the second stop means (9) comprise(s) a resilient element. A stop is thereby dampened and when the first stop means (7) butts against the second stop means (9) energy absorbed by the resilient element (7) can be used to assist a movement of the force transmission element (1) in an opposite direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2005Publication date: January 19, 2006Applicant: Schukra-Geratebau AGInventors: Veit Stossel, Matthias Wittkowski, Klaus Schwarm
