  • FITTING FOR A VEHICLE SEAT
    Publication number: 20260021753
    Abstract: A fitting for a vehicle seat with a first seat element and a second seat element. The fitting includes a first fitting adapter, which is arranged fixedly on the first seat element, with a locking disc, and a second fitting adapter, which is mounted pivotably in relation to the first fitting adapter, with a locking pawl. The locking pawl is mounted on a first bearing point of the second fitting adapter so as to be pivotable between an open position releasing the pivoting movement and a locking position locking the pivoting movement. In the locking position, the locking pawl engages in a form-fitting manner at least in part in a locking receptacle of the locking disc, and the locking disc has a stop on which the first bearing point is supported.

  • BEARING ASSEMBLY, VEHICLE SEAT WITH AN EASY-ENTRY FUNCTION AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE BEARING ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20250276619
    Abstract: A bearing subassembly for a vehicle seat with an easy-entry function has a gear mechanism, in particular a tumbler gear mechanism for adjusting the inclination of a seat backrest. A ring gear extends along a center axis in the axial direction. A bearing pin is formed on an end wall of the ring gear and it has a bearing face for pivotably supporting the seat backrest. The bearing pin and the ring gear together form a monolithic bearing ring gear, which is formed in particular by cold-extrusion with subsequent machining postprocessing. As a result of the monolithic configuration, a high level of stability is enabled with small tolerances.

  • Virtual reality for situational handling
    Patent number: 11556937
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programmable products are described herein for situational handling using a virtual reality application. A procurement system receives an order including one or more goods and a situation. A cloud platform receives sensor data of a package containing the one or more goods. A scanner scans the package and a storage location of the package. The procurement system provides the storage location to an virtual reality (VR) application for display and a notification of the situation once it occurs.

  • Vehicle seat with a deformation device
    Patent number: 9487112
    Abstract: A vehicle seat with a seat part and a backrest structure is provided. The seat part includes a first seat component, at which a second seat component connected with the backrest structure is fixed, when the backrest structure is present in a proper position of use. A deformation device with at least one deformation element fixed at one of the seat components is provided, which in the case of a crash upon exceedance of a specified threshold value of a force acting on the backrest structure permits a displacement of the second seat component relative to the first seat component by deforming the at least one deformation element. The deformation device includes at least one oblong hole which specifies a deformation path along which a displacement of the second seat component is effected after exceedance of the threshold value.

  • Assembly comprising a detent fitting and a free-pivoting mechanics
    Patent number: 8641145
    Abstract: An assembly of a vehicle comprises a first vehicle part and a second vehicle part being pivotal relative to the first vehicle part, at least one detent fitting which is constituted to hold the two vehicle parts in position to each other in a locked state and, therein, to establish a force flow between the two vehicle parts and to allow for a pivoting of the two vehicle parts relative to each other in an unlocked state, an actuation shaft for actuating the at least on detent fitting and a free-pivoting mechanics which is actuatable in order to disrupt the force flow between the two vehicle parts for providing a free-pivoting function. Herein, it is provided that the free-pivoting mechanics for providing the free-pivoting function interacts with the actuation shaft and, therein, is constituted to come into operational connection with the actuation shaft only if the free-pivoting mechanics is actuated.

  • Web service integration
    Patent number: 7475123
    Abstract: An enterprise system may include a server including an integration module that enables applications at the server to integrate web services, e.g., by providing links to the external web service. Each application is associated with one or more business types in a table at the server. The integration module, which may be an API, sends a list of external web services of a type (or types) associated with an application when a user at a client computer in the enterprise system opens that application. The integration module may also generate a URL call and redirect the user's browser to an external web service when the user selects that external web service.
