  • Publication number: 20220063461
    Abstract: A vehicle seat having a lower part and an upper part displaceable relative to the lower part in a longitudinal direction, and a spring element for cushioning longitudinal horizontal movements of the upper part relative to the lower part. A scissors frame connects the lower part and the upper part so that they can move relative to one another. The spring element comprises a first holding arm connected to the upper part, and a second holding arm connected to the scissors frame. The first holding arm and the second holding arm are connected to one another by a first connecting element such that the first holding arm is displaced towards the second holding arm during a displacement of the upper part relative to the lower part. A resiliently deformable spring element part is deformed during a displacement of the first holding arm relative to the second holding arm.
