Abstract: An airbag restraint device for occupants of a vehicle, and including an airbag system having an airbag module with an inflatable airbag. A cover at least partially covers the airbag and has a tear seam via which the airbag, upon inflation, can expand outwardly. A force-concentrating arrangement concentrates the opening force of the expanding airbag onto the tear seam, and comprises a structure extending around the airbag and having two opposite ends. The structure is folded over to form two layers and to bring the ends together at the tear seam, where the ends are connected to the cover. One of the ends is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart, strip-shaped members extending away from that end and sewn directly to the tear seam to form tear strips that upon expansion of the airbag tear defined, spaced-apart holes into the tear seam for a defined further opening thereof. The layers of the structure are disposed next to or parallel to one another.

Abstract: An inclination adjustment fitting for seat backs of vehicle seats includes two fitting parts that are connected in a swiveling manner relative to each other via a wobble mechanism driven by an eccentric. The eccentric is formed from an eccentric ring and two wedge segments that are arranged in mirror image and set apart from each other and that in regions cover the circumference of the eccentric ring. The wedge segments are pressed apart by a spring acting against their one end faces for increasing the eccentricity and which are capable of being acted upon against the force of the spring by driving elements between the other end faces. The spring is supported on the eccentric such that the wedge segments occupy a defined position relative to the eccentric ring.

Abstract: Vehicle seat includes seat frame longitudinally adjustable on an upper rail relative to a lower rail affixed to the chassis. Seat frame is held in place in its longitudinal positions by a longitudinal locking mechanism, releasable by a rail release mechanism.
