  • Patent number: 11673490
    Abstract: An adjustment fitting for adjusting an inclination of a backrest of the vehicle seat may have a first fitting part, and a second fitting part which is pivotable about a central axis of rotation relative to the first fitting part and is connectable to the backrest of the vehicle seat. The first fitting part and the second fitting part may be components both of a gear unit, such as a planetary gear, of the adjustment fitting and of a locking device, such as a detent lock, of the adjustment fitting. A vehicle seat having the adjustment fitting is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220219577
    Abstract: A joint fitting for a motor vehicle seat may have a first fitting part with a first sprocket and a second fitting part with a second sprocket. The fitting may also have a gear which rolls in the first sprocket and in the second sprocket to generate a rotational movement between the two sprockets. The fitting may also have an eccentric which is arranged between the first fitting part and the gear for driving a rolling movement of the gear in the first sprocket. The eccentric may have two wedge segments and a spring which pushes the wedge segments apart. An additional eccentric is arranged between the second fitting part and the gear for removing a play between the gear and the second sprocket. The additional eccentric may have two wedge segments. A vehicle seat having at least one such gearing fitting is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10071657
    Abstract: A vehicle seat double fitting (10) includes two fittings (100) operatively connected to each other and each with a first fitting part (111) and a second fitting part (112) that are rotatable relative to one another around an axis (A) and are in geared connection or locked to one another. An adapter part (150) is connected to one of the first fitting parts (111) or the second fitting parts (112) and a second adapter part (160) is connected to other of the first fitting parts (111) or the second fitting parts (111, 112). Exactly one adapter part (150, 160) is fixedly connected to a structural part (3) of the vehicle seat and the other of the two adapter parts (150, 160) is limitedly moveable or rotatable around the axis (A), relative to the structural part (3) and the adapter part (150, 160) fixedly connectable to the structural part (3).
