Patent number: 9352668Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat component and a back rest which, in the position of use of the back rest, can be rotated relative to the seat component, out of the position of use and into an easy entry position, for comfort purposes and for simplified access to the rear seats. The back rest has a locking mechanism which locks the back rest in the desired position of use and which is provided with a device which interacts with the locking mechanism and locks the back rest automatically in the original desired position of use as it leaves the easy entry position.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2011Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: JOHNSON CONTROLS GMBHInventors: Albert Reginold Kirubaharan, Helmut Mai

Patent number: 9096152Abstract: A vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat comprises an inclination adjustment fitting, a backrest part, and a seat part. The inclination adjustment fitting has a toothed first element and a toothed second element, and the vehicle seat has a first main structural element and a second main structural element. The inclination adjustment fitting has an adjustment mechanism and/or a latching detent for adjusting the inclination of the first main structural element relative to the second main structural element about an axis of rotation. The toothed first element is connected directly to the first main structural element, and/or the toothed second element is connected directly to the second main structural element.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2010Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Martin Zynda, Cornel Labuwy, Michael Moog, Holger Finner, Ingo Kienke, Albert Reginold Kirubaharan

Patent number: 9016153Abstract: An adjusting device for a vehicle component, in particular for the seat back of a vehicle seat, has a first and a second fitting part which are disposed along an axis of rotation. The relative position of the two fitting parts with respect to one another can be changed. A torque is transmitted by a drive to a gear which rolls on the second fitting part and thereby adjusts the second fitting part.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2011Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Johnson Controls GmbHInventors: Albert Reginold Kirubaharan, Otto Juergen, Helmut Mai, Sachin Chandure

Patent number: 8109573Abstract: A vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat, comprises a backrest part and a seat part. The seat part has a fitting for adjusting the inclination of the backrest part in relation to the seat part. The fitting has a first fitting part which is firmly connected to the backrest part, and a second fitting part which is firmly connected to the seat part. The fitting parts are connected to one another and configured to be adjusted smoothly angularly by an adjusting mechanism. The first fitting part is able to be locked in relation to the adjusting mechanism by a latching apparatus, and is able to be pivoted about a rotational axis in relation to the adjusting mechanism after the latching apparatus is released. The adjusting mechanism comprises a toothed member, such as an internally toothed mechanism latching plate and/or an internally toothed mechanism plate. The first fitting part is mounted in a plane extending generally perpendicular to the rotational axis of the toothed member.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2007Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Ingo Kienke, Karthikeyan S. Maharajapuram, Albert Reginold Kirubaharan
