  • Patent number: 7950713
    Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat part having a seat substructure. The seat part is displaceable along a transverse axis with respect to the seat substructure and the seat part is at least partially swivelably about the transverse axis. The seat includes a displacement element having a displacement length, a fixed lower part and an upper part. A first longitudinal movement of the seat part and a first transverse movement of the seat part occurs along a first section of the adjustment length. A second longitudinal movement of the seat part and a second transverse movement of the seat part occurs along a second section of the adjustment length. The ratio of the first longitudinal movement to the first transverse movement differs from the ratio of the second longitudinal movement to the second transverse movement.

  • Publication number: 20080061611
    Abstract: A vehicle seat is provided. The vehicle seat comprises a seat structure, a padded body supported by the seat structure, a seat cover which at least partially covers the padded body and defines a recess for the passage of a functional unit, a cover plate at least partially covering the recess, and at least one strip-shaped reinforcing element connected to the seat cover along an edge of the recess. A projection coupled to the cover plate is engaged between the at least one strip-shaped reinforcing element and the seat cover for at least partially securing the cover plate to the vehicle seat.
