  • Patent number: 5388888
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5388801
    Abstract: A seat for vehicles, especially commercial vehicles, of which the cushion support is mounted on a swinging frame with two identically configured pairs of levers which intersect and pivot with each other, has on each side of the swinging frame at least one fastening point for a seat belt system. Pivot connections combined with a guide for each one running longitudinally along the seat connect the rear terminal segments of the rocking levers with the lower part and the upper part of the swinging frame. The rocking levers extending from the upper part of the swinging frame obliquely forward and downward are embodied with a diminished carrying capacity as compared with the other rocking levers.
