Abstract: A backrest for a motor vehicle seat is described. The rear side of the seat is covered by a planar lining part within which an air supply device for supplying the head, shoulder and neck region of a seat occupant with an airflow is integrated. The air supply device comprises a housing. Fitted together from at least two housing parts, with one of these housing parts being directly supported by the lining part of the backrest.

Abstract: A backrest for a vehicle seat has a rear wall and an integrated device for supplying hot air to the shoulder, neck and head region of a seated person. The device has at least one air duct leading to an air discharge opening, a fan housing, which accommodates a fan and is connected on the delivery side to the air duct and has an air intake opening connected to an air inlet opening in the rear wall, and a heating element, which is arranged in the air flow of the fan. In order for the hot air supply device to take up less empty space in the backrest and for it to be able to be fitted simply and rapidly, the air duct and the fan housing are combined to form a single-piece module arranged on the inner surface of the rear wall.

Abstract: A vehicle seat has a headrest with a center pad and two side pads that are laterally hinged to the center pad. The side pads are swivellable forward into a resting position and back into a supporting position. The center pad has a variable pad hardness, with a firmer pad hardness in the supporting position than in the resting position.

Abstract: A vehicle seat has a backrest which is mounted displaceably in the vehicle by a sliding block guide. In order to enable a vehicle seat of compact configuration to be easily fitted, the backrest has a locking mechanism which secures the backrest releasably in the sliding block guide.

Abstract: A reclinable vehicle seat, which is freely adjustable between an upright sitting position and a reclined resting position, has a backrest with an adjustable inclination, a seat cushion with adjustable sitting depth and a lower leg rest. In order to obtain a support which is as comfortable as possible and a compact design, the inclination of the seat cushion is adjustable by an inclination adjuster, and the seat cushion has a continuous seat upholstered element which upholsters the seat cushion and the lower leg rest.

Abstract: In order to provide a safety device for a comfortable seat having a seat surface and a backrest which may be transferred from a sitting position into a resting position and vice versa, the safety device being used to increase the safety of vehicle occupants on the comfortable seat, the comfortable seat includes with a seat belt system which includes a belt strap which is fixed in the region of the seat surface via a belt end fitting and is stored on a belt-retracting mechanism arranged in the upper region of the backrest, a belt buckle being provided on that side of the seat surface which is opposite the belt end fitting so as to couple up the belt strap via a belt tongue in accordance with a three-point belt system, and, in the event of an accident, the belt strap being tightened via the belt-retracting mechanism and a pretensioning system engaging on the belt end fitting.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a lower leg support fastened pivotably to a seat cushion. The lower leg support may be moved in an infinitely variable manner between a stowaway position and a position of use and may be fixed in a freely selectable position. To provide reliability against incorrect operation, the lower leg support includes an overload safeguard which releases the fixation of the lower leg support in the event of overload, thereby allowing it to give way.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat (1) having an automatically displaceable lower leg support (3). The lower leg support can be displaced in an automatically driven fashion between a stowaway position and a position of use. In order to obtain a compact design of the vehicle seat and a high degree of protection against impact operation, the lower leg support (3) has a sensor (6, 61, 62) which is connected to a control device (52) of the drive (5). The sensor (6) is designed to detect an obstacle.

Abstract: A vehicle seat has a headrest which headrest has a center pad and two side pads laterally hinged to the center pad and able to be swiveled forward into a resting position and swiveled back into a supporting position. In order to offer optimal support to the head in the upright and also in the laid-back head carriage position, the center pad has a variable pad hardness, so that the center pad has a firmer pad hardness in the supporting position than in the resting position.

Abstract: A vehicle seat having a seat surface and a seatback is tiltable about a transversely extending pivot axis. The seatback is arranged to be tiltable from an upright seat position into a tilted resting position. In order to achieve a comfortable setting of the headrest in all seat positions and resting positions, the seatback has an automatically driven height adjustment apparatus and an automatically driven tilt adjustment apparatus, each positioned within the seatback.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a lower-leg support, transferable from a stowed position into a utilization position, and a footrest. To achieve comfortable support with easy operation, the footrest has a footplate that may be folded out and that is located in the stowed position approximately parallel, and in the utilization position approximately perpendicular, to the lower-leg support, and coacts with an energy storage device.

Abstract: In a seat cushion for a vehicle seat, the seat cushion is joined to a frame by a disengageable locking apparatus that has a wire spring engaging behind a mushroom head. The wire spring has two opposite limbs that at their one end are joined to one another and at their other end are open. In order to ensure a secure attachment, the two limbs of the wire spring may have at their open end an eye which engages behind a strut shaped onto the cushion shell.
