  • Patent number: 10232754
    Abstract: The present application relates to a vehicle seat (1) comprising a seat surface (2) and at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) at an angle to the seat surface (2). The angle between the seat surface (2) and the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) is movable via an adjusting device (6, 13) between a first position, in which the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) is substantially at right angles to the seat surface (2), and a second position, in which the seat surface (2) and the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) form a substantially flat surface. A second end (10.1, 10.2) of the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) comprises at least one pneumatic cushion (4) which is fluidically connected to a pump (7), wherein a control device is configured such that the pneumatic cushion (4) is substantially completely emptied when the at least one rest part (3.1, 3.2) moves from the first position into the second position.

  • Publication number: 20170151895
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle seat (1) having a seating surface (2), which has a front edge (16; 16.1, 16.2) and a rear edge (17), and a backrest (3) arranged at the rear edge (17) and situated at an angle to the seating surface (2). The seating surface (2) is divided into a main part (4) and at least one front part (5; 5.1, 5.2). The main part (4) and the at least one front part (5; 5.1, 5.2) can be moved relative to one another by means of an adjusting device to enable a distance between the front edge (16; 16.1, 16.2) and the rear edge (17) of the seating surface (2) to be adjusted dynamically. At least two inflatable chambers (6, 7; 6.1, 6.2, 7.1, 7.2) are arranged between the main part (4) and the at least one front part (5; 5.1, 5.2), which chambers can be inflated and emptied in accordance with the distance (D; D1, D2) of the front edge (16; 16.1, 16.2) from the rear edge (17).
