Abstract: A folding seat arrangement comprising a first carrying structure (2) having a backrest (3) and guiding elements (11) for the removable attachment in guide rails (9) to a vehicle floor, a second carrying structure (5) pivotally mounted to the first carrying structure (2) and having a seat cushion (4), and a supporting structure (6; 31), on which in a first end region guiding elements (10) are provided for the removable attachment in guide rails (9) and which in a second region is mounted a carrying structure (2; 5) in an articulated manner such that the seat arrangement in the folded setting requires the least amount of space in the lower region of the expanded luggage compartment. This is achieved in that the guiding elements (11) on the first carrying structure (2) and the supporting structure (6; 31) can be moved relative to one another to pivot the supporting structure (6; 31).

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-part, separable fastening bracket, in particular for releasably attaching a seat or a seat bench to the floor of a motor vehicle. It is sought to refine said fastening bracket in such a way that it is of structurally simple design and requires little maintenance, and that both an insertion and also a removal and a longitudinal movement of a motor vehicle seat or of a seat bench of the first and second rows of seats can be carried out quickly and easily by a user.

Abstract: In order to allow use of the seat belt in both positions of use of a reversible seat, an articulated end fitting is proposed for connecting a seat belt to the reversible seat, with a connecting part (51) and a projecting elongate lug (53) connected thereto for suspending a seat belt, the elongate lug (53) being pivotable relative to the connecting part (51) about three different axes (A, B, C).

Abstract: A folding seat arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising a first carrying structure (2) having a backrest (3) disposed thereon and sealable sliding or guiding elements (11) for the detachable and/or removable attachment in guide rails (9) at the bottom of the motor vehicle interior, a second carrying structure (5) that is pivotally mounted relative to the first carrying structure (2) and has a seat cushion (4), and a supporting structure (6; 31), on which in a first end region sliding or guiding elements (10) are provided for the detachable and/or removable attachment in guide rails (9) and which in a second end region is mounted on a carrying structure (2; 5) in an articulated manner in order to remove forces therefrom in the guide rail (9) resulting from a load on the seat cushion (4), is to be refined such that the seat arrangement in the folded setting (storage setting) requires the least amount of space in the lower region of the expanded luggage compartment, however still provides an unobstructed view

Abstract: A device for blocking and for releasing an adjusting mechanism having at least two parts which are movable relative to each other is disclosed. The device comprises a blocker configured to be brought at least into a blocking position and a release position relative to the adjusting mechanism. The device further comprises an actuator for changing the position of the blocker between the blocking position and the release position.

Abstract: A method of forming a sealing or mounting strip on the periphery of a vehicle door 4 is disclosed. The method includes providing a fixed extrusion device 15 for producing an extruded sealing or mounting strip, moving the door 4 with respect to the fixed extrusion device 15, while operating the extrusion device 15 to produce the extruded sealing or mounting strip, such that the sealing or mounting strip 10 is formed along a desired path 10 on the door 4. The door 4 is mounted in a frame 27 which clamps the door 4 around the door's edge. The frame 27 is movable by any suitable means, such as by a robot typically used in automated vehicle fabrication plants. By making use of the frame 27 and movement means already provided in a conventional automated vehicle fabrication plant, little or no additional cost is incurred by providing for movement of the door 4 with respect to the fixed extrusion die 15.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a system for storing cargo within a vehicle. The invention is characterized by a support device (2), attached or attachable in the cargo area (4) of the vehicle, for cargo receiving means (6). The support device (2) is pivotable, after the cargo receiving means (6) have been removed and/or collapsed flat, from a utilization position (A) lying on a cargo area floor (8), about a pivot axis (Y) extending in the vicinity of the cargo area floor (8) approximately parallel thereto, into a non-utilization position (B) lying approximately parallel to and in the vicinity of a vehicle partition (10) delimiting the cargo area (4), and thereby uncovering the vehicle floor (8).

Abstract: The application pertains to a device intended for the transport of goods in a motor vehicle. It includes a container mountable on the floor of the trunk, and includes foldable, connected parts so that in a non-use position, the container parts rest flat on the trunk floor, while in the in-use position the container parts are raised, thus forming at least one loading facility.

Abstract: Backrests of motor vehicle seats are attached so that their inclination can be adjusted and fixed by way of hinge mountings 1 with eccentric planetary gears 2, the rolling bodies of which are made by extrusion moulding.To increase the fracture resistance of the tooth systems, the teeth of the outer and inner tooth systems 5 and 6 are both attached laterally through strong annular material regions 7 and 8 respectively which avoid stress concentrations, and also, to produce a good lateral engagement relationship of the tooth systems, the rolling bodies 3 and 4 are mounted on the axis 9 in a manner effective to prevent tilting, namely by extending the bearing surfaces through hubs 10 and 11 and spacing the bearing faces of the two rolling bodies equidistant from the centre 12 of the external and internal tooth systems 5 and 6 respectively.

Abstract: A rotary recliner for a vehicle seat having a pair of meshing gears rotating about a common pivot. Axially movable wedge segments are provided to bias an eccentric mounting one of the gears to force the gears into tight engagement with one another to eliminate free play and avoid rattling and vibration of the recliner. The two wedge segments are axially movable upon rotary motion of an operating cap to relieve the free play reduction and enable adjustment of the recliner. The wedge segments do not function as bearing surfaces of the recliner during recliner adjustment to avoid high friction forces which must be overcome to adjust the recliner.
