Patent number: 11065986Abstract: A longitudinal adjuster for a vehicle seat having at least one pair of rails. The at least one pair of rails may be formed from a first seat rail for connecting to a seat structure, and from a second seat rail for connecting to a vehicle structure. The seat rails of the pair of rails are displaceable in the longitudinal direction relative to each other and mutually engage around each other to form an inner channel. A securing profile, which is fastened to the first seat rail, is arranged in the inner channel. A rack which is fixed relative to the second seat rail is arranged in the inner channel. The securing profile and the rack are normally spaced apart from each other and enter into engagement with each other in a form-fitting manner in reaction to a predetermined action of force.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Adient Engineering and IP GmbHInventors: Holger Emrich, Michael Koenig, Martin Reischmann, Frank Rheinheimer, Ralf Velten, Thomas Bingert, Erik Dick

Patent number: 10919415Abstract: A longitudinal adjuster (10) for a vehicle seat (1) includes at least one rail pair (12), which is formed from a first seat rail (14), for connecting to a seat frame side part (6), and a second seat rail (16), for connecting to a vehicle structure, that slid relative to each other in a longitudinal direction (x) and engage each other and form an inner channel (18). A reinforcing profiled element (22; 122) is fastened to the second seat rail (16) and is arranged in the inner channel (18). The reinforcing profiled element (22; 122) has a connection section (24), which is led out of the inner channel (18) toward a rear and is connectable to a rear end surface (8) of a seat frame side part (6). The vehicle seat with the longitudinal adjuster, has a seat frame side part (6) connected to a first seat rail (4).Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Adient Luxembourg Holding S.á r.l.Inventors: Holger Emrich, Michael Koenig, Martin Reischmann, Frank Rheinheimer, Ralf Velten

Patent number: 10889207Abstract: A longitudinal adjuster (10) for a vehicle seat (1) includes at least one rail pair (12) with a longitudinal direction (x) relatively sliding and engaging first seat rail (14), for connecting to a seat frame side part (6), and a second seat rail (16), for connecting to a vehicle structure. A first clamping element (20), fastened to the first seat rail and a second clamping element (22), fastened to the second seat rail are usually spaced apart from each other and engage with each other, in response to a defined application of force, for example in the event of a crash. The first clamping element has a connection section (24), which can be connected to a surface (8) of a seat frame side part (6) directed toward the rear. The vehicle seat includes the longitudinal adjuster and a seat frame side part, which is connected to a first seat rail.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Adient Luxembourg Holding S.á r.l.Inventors: Holger Emrich, Michael Koenig, Martin Reischmann, Ralf Velten

Patent number: 10870372Abstract: A vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, having a first structural part (4), a second structural part (6) and at least one fitting (10) that can be locked and unlocked, the fitting (10) having a first fitting part (11), which is at least indirectly connected to the first structural part (4), and a second fitting part (12), which is at least indirectly connected to the second structural part (6). When the fitting (10) is unlocked, an angular position of the second structural part (6) relative to the first structural part (4) can be varied about an axis (A). In at least one angular position of the second structural part (6) relative to the first structural part (4), a spring element (100, 100.1, 200) braces the first fitting part (11) and the second fitting part (12) with respect to each other in the radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2017Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Adient Luxembourg Holding S.á r.l.Inventors: Michael Koenig, Martin Reischmann, Thomas Rau, Frank Bernhardt, Dirk Dubois
