  • Patent number: 5782533
    Abstract: A vehicle seat constructed in accordance with principles of this invention comprises stopping means that serve to conduct forces introduced via a movable belt mounting point during a frontal impact directly to the side rail, without having to transmit the entire load via the adjusting mechanism. A vehicle seat includes a seat frame having a seat belt mounting point, and an upper rail that is connected to the seat frame by at least one adjusting lever and at least one compensating lever extending from the upper rail to the seat frame. The seat includes a height adjusting mechanism for adjusting the height of the seat frame. The height adjusting mechanism includes a drive shaft connected to an end of the adjusting lever, wherein rotation of the shaft effects vertical movement of the adjusting lever and height adjustment of the seat frame.

  • Patent number: 5590562
    Abstract: A manual passive continuous action quick adjustment device for adjusting elements in or on motor vehicles without a separate drive unit comprises a worm rotatably disposed within a housing. The worm comprises a locking region that is configured to engage a locking element disposed within the housing. The worm comprises a toothed section that is threadably engaged with a toothed section of an oppositely oriented toothed segment lever that is connected to the particular device requiring adjustment. The locking region may comprise a circumferential groove near an end portion of the worm and the locking element may comprise a slide configured to accommodate frictional engagement with the groove. The locking region may comprise the front faces of the toothed section of the worm frictionally engaged by a slide. A second locking region may comprise front faces adjacent to ends of the worm frictionally engaged by edge portions of the housing upon radial displacement of the worm by activation of the slide.
