Abstract: A device for a motor vehicle may have a base support with an opening and a movable closure element for opening or closing the opening. The device may also have a sensor unit with a housing unit holding this sensor unit, which is movably arranged in the base support. The device may also have a link mechanism. The housing unit may be movable via the link mechanism in the base support between a first position and a second position in which the housing unit with the sensor unit projects at least partially out of the opening. The link mechanism may be designed as a multi-link mechanism and having at least three links. A first link and a second link are each articulated between the housing unit and the base support and a third link is articulated between the housing unit and the closure element.

Abstract: An adjusting device (3), for a vehicle seat (1), includes at least one first adjusting element (5), at least one second adjusting element (7) that moves relative to the first adjusting element (5), a spindle (11) associated with the first adjusting element (5) and having an outer thread (13) for cooperating with an inner thread (64) of a spindle nut (60) associated with the second adjusting element (7). A base body (62) of the spindle nut (60) is made of metal, in particular steel, and at least sections of the inner thread (64) of the spindle nut (60) is made of a plastic or is covered with a plastic layer. A vehicle seat (1) is also provided having an adjusting device (3) of this type.

Abstract: A longitudinal adjustment mechanism (3) for a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle seat, includes at least one first seat rail (5) and at least one second seat rail (7) that is movable relative to the first seat rail (5). A spindle (11) is associated with the first seat rail (5) and cooperates with a gear mechanism (55) associated with the second seat rail (7). At least one spindle holder (20, 40, 80) secures the spindle (11) relative to the first seat rail (5). At least one floor attachment connects the first seat rail (5) to a vehicle structure. The floor attachment and the at least one spindle holder (20, 40, 80) are separate components.

Abstract: A seat fitting for a motor vehicle seat, with a fitting lower part which is connectable to a seat lower part, a fitting upper part which is connectable to a seat back, an eccentric epicyclic gearing which connects the fitting upper part and fitting lower part in an articulated manner and is intended for adjusting the inclination of the fitting upper part in relation to the fitting lower part, and an actuating mechanism for coupling the seat fitting to a seat longitudinal guide. The fitting upper part has a pivoting body. The actuating mechanism is formed by an unlocking lever. The pivoting body substantially completely shifts the unlocking lever into the unlocking position irrespective of the inclination to which the fitting upper part is set.

Abstract: A spindle gear unit (10), for an adjusting mechanism in a motor vehicle seat, includes a housing (20, 22), a spindle nut (40, 140, 240) cooperating with a spindle (30). The spindle nut (40, 140, 240) has external toothing (44, 144, 244) and has at least one bearing surface (46, 146, 246) for rotatably mounting the spindle nut (40, 140, 240) in the housing (20, 22). A thrust washer (50, 150, 250) is put on and encompasses the bearing surface (46, 146, 246). A screw (70) is rotatably mounted in the housing (20, 22) and has a worm gear (72) which is in engagement with the external toothing (44, 144, 244). The thrust washer (50, 150, 250) is pressed onto the spindle nut (40, 140, 240). A vehicle seat is also provided with the spindle gear unit for driving a seat rail of a length adjuster of the vehicle seat.
