  • Patent number: 10899370

The cladding modules, or at least a majority of the cladding modules of the vehicle, either have a first width or a second width which is smaller than the first width, and the difference between the first and second width corresponds to half of the width of at least one partition module which is mounted in the vehicle and which is mounted between two of the cladding modules or is arranged on an interface between two directly adjacent cladding modules, in particular the partition module is placed in front of the interface when seen in the vehicle transverse direction and covers the interface.

  • Publication number: 20120228912
    Abstract: A vehicle seat, which can be moved between a sitting position and a reclining position, has a seat cushion, a back cushion, and a head cushion. The seat cushion moves horizontally between the sitting position and the reclining position, and the relative angle between the seat cushion and the back cushion is increased, wherein the contour of the back cushion can be changed and a lower edge of the back cushion follows a movement of the seat cushion, whereas an upper edge of the back cushion is decoupled from a horizontal movement of the seat cushion.
