Patent number: 7648203Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting (10) for the seat of a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, comprising a first fitting part (11), a second fitting part (12) which is mechanically linked to the first fitting part (11), a locking eccentric, and a running eccentric (131), wherein the running eccentric (131) is mounted in relation to the first fitting part (11) and second fitting part (12) by way of a rolling bearing or sliding bearing bushing (28,33), wherein friction between the running eccentric (131) and the sliding bearing bushings (28,33) or between at least one sliding bearing bushing (28, 33) and the associated fitting part (11, 12) is lower than the friction between the locking eccentric and at least one of the fitting parts (11, 12).Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2007Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: KEIPER GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Heinz Voss, Tobias Ewald, Ulrich Lehmann, Artur Komainda, Rainer Messerschmidt, Grit Scholz, Andreas Norbisrath, Jürgen Stemmer, Heinrich Busch, Holger Finner, Dirk Angermann, Markus Vesper, Gregor Vossmann

Publication number: 20070298891Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting (10) for the seat of a vehicle, particularly for a motor vehicle, comprising a first fitting part (11), a second fitting part (12) which is mechanically linked to the first fitting part (11), a locking eccentric which is provided primarily to lock the fitting (10), a running eccentric (31) which is primarily provided for driving a relative rolling movement of the second fitting part (12) on the first fitting part (11) in order to adjust the fitting (10), and a driver (21) which controls the locking eccentric at the beginning of the adjusting movement in order to cancel the locking effect and which drives at least the running eccentric (31) during the adjusting movement. The rotating driver (21) impinges upon the rotating running eccentric (31) without any lateral force.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Applicant: KEIPER GmbH & Co.
