  • Patent number: 12115888
    Abstract: A joint fitting for a motor vehicle seat may have a first fitting part with a first sprocket and a second fitting part with a second sprocket. The fitting may also have a gear which rolls in the first sprocket and in the second sprocket to generate a rotational movement between the two sprockets. The fitting may also have an eccentric which is arranged between the first fitting part and the gear for driving a rolling movement of the gear in the first sprocket. The eccentric may have two wedge segments and a spring which pushes the wedge segments apart. An additional eccentric is arranged between the second fitting part and the gear for removing a play between the gear and the second sprocket. The additional eccentric may have two wedge segments. A vehicle seat having at least one such gearing fitting is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11760235
    Abstract: A fitting for a vehicle seat may have a first ring gear having first ring gear teeth, a second ring gear having second ring gear teeth, and a planet gear mounted on a planet carrier and which meshes with the first and second ring gear teeth. A blocking planet gear, which can be rotated about a blocking-planet-gear axis of rotation, permanently meshes with the first ring gear teeth and with the second ring gear teeth, and the distance between the blocking-planet-gear axis of rotation and the axis can be changed so that the blocking planet gear can be transferred selectively between locking meshing and non-locking meshing with the first ring gear teeth and/or with the second ring gear teeth. A vehicle seat having a seat part, a backrest and a fitting of this type for setting an angle of inclination of the backrest is provided.
