Patent number: 9050643Abstract: In a method for connecting two at least partly metal components of a vehicle seat, which has a backrest that can be pivoted about an axis, wherein the two components are arranged relative to each other and are then connected, the two components are arranged at a distance from each other, at least in some regions, and connected by electromagnetic pulse technology. By a current pulse, electromagnetic fields are induced in the two components, the intense magnetic attraction force of which presses the two components together, producing an integral connection.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: KEIPER GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 8973998Abstract: A vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat, comprises at least one fitting which has two fitting parts rotatable relative to one another, and which defines an axis. At least one structural part has at least one first opening having a first diameter for partially accommodating the fitting, and at least one fastening region surrounding the first opening for fastening the fitting. The fastening region is reinforced relative to the other regions of the structural part by an additional part which has a second opening having a second diameter. The additional part is fixedly connected to the structural part, and the fitting is fixedly connected to the additional part and is at least partially inserted into the second opening.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2010Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Keiper GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8851572Abstract: A vehicle seat (1), in particular a motor vehicle seat, has at least one fitting (10) including two fitting components (11, 12) that can rotate relative to each other. At least one structural component (15) has at least one opening (16) for partially receiving the fitting (11, 12) and at least one mounting area (18) enclosing the opening (16) for mounting the fitting (10), by at least one weld seam (19) between the mounting area (18) and one of the two fitting components (11, 12). The mounting area (18) is reinforced by additional material relative to the other areas of the structural component (15).Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2009Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Johnson Controls Components GmbH & Co. KG.Inventors: Gerd Schuhmacher, Dieter Henkel, Volker Scharwächter, Heinz Voss, Uwe Assmann, Georg Fischer, Volker Schäfer, Günter Franzmann, Werner Liborius, Lars Kramm, Harald Wolsiefer

Patent number: 5388888Abstract: A carrier for the partial seat cushion of a car seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat is disclosed. The carrier includes two side members which extend in the longitudinal direction of the seat and to which is hinged a longitudinal member of a leg support bearing the front portion of the partial seat cushion so as to pivot around an axis, extending in the transverse direction of the seat, and to be fixed into selectable swivel positions. A spring-loaded swiveling device is assigned to the leg support wherein said swiveling device exerts on the leg support a swivel force, which is smallest in the lowest swivel position and increases until the highest swivel position has been reached.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1994Date of Patent: February 14, 1995Assignee: Keiper Pecaro GmbH & Co.Inventors: Gunter Franzmann, Heiko Utsch, Harald Wolsiefer, Hans Schneider, Karl-Peter Armbrust

Patent number: 4919488Abstract: In a vehicle seat having a safety belt system, the belts of which are connected with the seat frame in the area of the upper end section of the back rest at two upper connecting points lying spaced from each other in the lateral direction of the seat, and in the area of the rear end of its seat portion, the lower end of its back rest or its support slide rails at two lower connection points provided on the respective sides of the seat, the two lap belts are guided along the respective pivot arms (12,12') which are connected with the seat frame in the area of one or the other of the lower connecting points (5) so as to pivot about respective axes extending in the lateral direction of the seat. The two pivot arms (12,12') are formed to resist bending in the pivot direction but to bend elastically laterally thereto. The one pivot arm (12) is connected with the other pivot arm (12') by a transmission that forces an opposite pivot direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1989Date of Patent: April 24, 1990Assignee: Keiper Recaro GmbH & Co.Inventors: Elmar Deegener, Harald Wolsiefer, Heinz P.
