Abstract: An inclination adjustment fitting for adjusting the inclination of a seat back relative to a seat body and tilting the seat into a release position includes a first and a second actuation element mounted about an actuation shaft, an opposing element secured to the seat back, a ratcheting disk mounted to the seat back and including a plurality of engaging teeth, and a ratcheting block mounted to the seat back and including an engaging surface. The seat inclination is adjusted by pivoting the first actuation element, thereby releasing the engaging teeth from the engaging surface and pivoting the second actuation element and allowing the ratcheting disk to rotate. The seat is tilted to the release position by pivoting the second actuation element wherein the first actuation element remains in its initial position and the ratcheting disk is secured against the seat body by means of the ratcheting block.

Abstract: A device for detachably securing an object on a motor vehicle seat includes a transverse support member mountable adjacent to and along a gap between a seating surface and backrest of the motor vehicle seat and a pair of securements spaced apart and mounted to the support member so as to extend into the gap and being adapted for securing the object on the seating surface. Each securement includes a set of elements and structures connecting at least some of the elements of each set with one another and with the support member such that the securements are swivellable in planes defined by the securements relative to the support member between extended positions of use and retracted positions of rest. In positions of use, the securements have U-shaped configurations formed by the sets of elements such that one securement is identical to and a mirror image of the other securement.

Abstract: A vehicle seat frame includes a locking device that prevents the seat frame from moving during a crash. A first spring holds an inertia-sensitive locking element and an interlocking element in a first position. In the event of a crash, the inertia-sensitive locking element swivels about an axis due to the force of inertia. Contact surfaces on the inertia-sensitive locking element and the interlocking element disengage. A second spring then pulls the interlocking element toward a guide link. A gear region on the interlocking element grips into and engages with a gear region on the guide link. The second spring maintains the tension on the gear regions, even if the force of inertia has dwindled. The locking device can be disengaged only by manually resetting the interlocking element and the inertia-sensitive locking element into the first position.

Abstract: A car seat is provided with a seat part and a backrest and equipped with a headrest region, wherein the backside of the back support is formed a backrest surface of a child seat. The backrest surface can be moved in the travel direction to be used as a child seat from the usage position for adults and the back support is attached to the seat part with an inclination-adjusting fixture, enabling adjustment of the inclination around a lower horizontal axis. The backrest is provided with a lower backrest region attached to the inclination-adjusting fixture, as well as with an upper backrest region, which can be rotated around an upper horizontal axis by means of a fixable hinge fixture hinged on the lower region of the backrest. The lower backrest region can be adjusted with an inclination-adjusting fixture forward into at least an almost horizontal position and the upper backrest region can be adjusted with a hinge fixture into a position inclined in the travel direction.

Abstract: A motor vehicle seat has longitudinal adjustment tracks, a device for adjusting elevation and inclination, and a seatbelt buckle mounting, which has a first part that is coupled to an upper track of the longitudinal adjustment tracks and a second part that is coupled to the seat part so as to be capable of pivoting and that is guided on a longitudinal guiding surface of the first part so that its position may be freely shifted. The first part has a catch toothing, which is embodied so as to accept a catch projection provided on a second part, such that the coupling point of the second part and its catch projection are arranged on different sides of the first part. The guiding surface is provided on only one side of the first part, and the opposing surface of the second part, which works in concert with it, is held in contact with the guiding surface by a spring until a load limit of the seatbelt buckle mounting is reached.

Abstract: An articulated fitting for seats with adjustable seat back inclination that is free to pivot about the same horizontal axis for backward inclination adjustment as well as for forward tilt into a release position which includes an inclination adjustment fitting by means of which the desired inclination may be fixed and released by means of a first actuation element for free swiveling about the pivot axis. The articulated fitting further includes a ratcheting disk that may be fixed in a swivel position by means of a ratcheting block, and a strike surface for an opposing element. A second actuation element is provided to release the inclination adjustment fitting to allow the seat back to tilt forward. The first actuation element is formed so that it might displace the ratcheting block located in the seat body into, and out of, engagement with the ratcheting disk.

Abstract: A locking device for a vehicle seat with a seat frame and a seat height adjustment device has two guide links fixed to the body, with a swivel support on a horizontal axis. The guide links can swivel in different angular positions for adjusting the height of the seat. One guide link has a geared unit for swiveling it, while both the guide links are connected to each other by means of a connecting rod so that they do not rotate with respect to each other. A locking device with an inertia-sensitive element works on the side opposite to that of the geared unit between seat frame and adjacent guide link. A spring working on the inertia-sensitive element keeps the locking device in the normally unlocked position. The inertia-sensitive element is a locking element for latching with an interlocking element.

Abstract: A latching device provides locking of the backrest of a tilt-adjustable seat in a motor vehicle against undergoing pivotal movement in response to the motor vehicle exceeding a predetermined acceleration value in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. The latching device includes an internal-toothed annular member on a backrest-secured part of a seat articulation which pivotally mounts the backrest to a seat part of the seat, an eccentric inertial weight pivotally supported on a pivot axle of the seat articulation pivotally mounting the backrest-secured part to a seat-secured part of the seat articulation, at least one stop on the inertial weight spaced from the pivot axle, and two locking pawls pivotally supported at least at one center of rotation disposed on the seat-secured part of the seat articulation and having tooth segments capable of lockably engaging with the internal-toothed annular member.

Abstract: A hinge fitting for an adjustable seat has a single rotatable handle by ms of which the back rest can be tilted and the height of the seat portion adjusted. The handle is connected to a shaft which can be selectively coupled to one of two eccentrics mounted on an axle which passes through the two hinge parts and one end of a pivotable seat support. One eccentric is coupled to one hinge part which has spur gear areas engaging inner toothings on the other hinge part. Rotation of this eccentric causes the inclination of the back rest to be adjusted. The other eccentric is coupled to a portion of the end of the seat support which is constructed as a three-stage hollow piston having inner toothings engaging spur gear areas on the adjacent seat hinge part. Rotation of this eccentric causes the height of the seat to be adjusted.

Abstract: A seat includes a device for adjusting the position of a seat part relative o its support. The device is operated by a rotary knob which rotates a pinned disc of a lantern wheel gearing arrangement. The pins of the disc cooperate with teeth of a gear wheel which is connected to a pinion that rolls on a toothed segment articulated to the seat support. The teeth of the gear wheel are constructed so that reaction forces due to contact between the flanks and the pins are directed so as to pass through the rotational axis of the disc. Therefore no torque is applied to the disc and it remains stable.
