Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle seat (1), particularly a motor vehicle seat, comprising a seat part (3), at least one fitting (5) which is provided with a first fitting part (7) and a second fitting part (8) that can be swiveled relative to the first fitting part (7) about an axis (A), and a backrest (4) which is mounted on the seat part (3) by way of the fitting (5) and can be swiveled relative to the seat part (3) about the axis (A). A sensor (15) is provided on the first fitting part (7) while a signaler (14) is provided on the second fitting part (8). The sensor (15) transmits a signal by cooperating with the signaler (14) when the second fitting part (8) swivels relative to the first fitting part (7), the signal making it possible to determine the relative angular position of the fitting parts (7, 8).

Abstract: In the case of a head restraint (1) for a vehicle seat, with a support (5), at least two rockers (15, 25) which are arranged movably on the support (5) and are pivotable about horizontal spindles (7, 17), an impact element (13) which is coupled to the rockers (15, 25) and, with the rockers (15, 25) and the support (5), forms at least one four-bar linkage (31), and a spring (21) as an energy accumulator which drives the four-bar linkage (31) in the event of a crash, so that the impact element (13) extends forward out of a starting position into a crash position, at least one leg (25) of the spring (21) forms one of the rockers.

Abstract: A headrest for a vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, has a carrier, an impact element that can be extended relative to the carrier in the event of a crash, a drive means for extending the impact element, and components for holding and releasing the drive means. The components comprise an electromagnet (17) that is controlled and energized by a control unit, and an actuator box (41). The actuator box (41) is arranged inside the headrest as an internal control unit containing the components needed for energizing the electromagnet (17), and for control purposes it is connected to a control unit (C) arranged outside the headrest.

Abstract: In a device with a gas generator and an airbag for protecting passengers in the event of an accident, the gas generator is accommodated inside an airbag that is essentially closed all the way around by a seam along the edge. Material and manufacturing costs are considerably reduced in that separately fastening the airbag to the gas generator is unnecessary and in that the two components can be fastened together while the resulting module is being fastened to the inside of the vehicle or to a separate housing.
