Abstract: The invention relates to a foldable/deployable structure (1) comprising: —a mast (4) which can be deployed along a longitudinal deployment axis, the mast being designed to be placed either in a folded state requiring little axial installation space, or in a deployed state having a predetermined shape, —a base (10) upon which the deployable mast (4) is rested, the structure (1, 2) further comprising a bracing device, the bracing device: —having at least three points for attachment to the base (10) and at least three points for attachment to the mast (4), the bracing device connecting the base to the mast; —being designed to limit the transverse movements of the mast relative to the base (10) at least when the mast (4) is in a deployed state, and; —comprising at least one connecting member (22, 42, 60) chosen from the group formed by fabrics, non-woven fabrics and ties, the ties being chosen from the group formed by monofilaments, cables, bundles and strips; the structure (1, 2) being characterised in that it c

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a pivotable backrest, a locking/unlocking mechanism and an adjustment mechanism. The backrest is counterbalanced such that torque produced by the weight of the backrest during pivoting is adjustable by a counter torque.

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 vehicle seat (1) is provided with a seat part (2) and a backrest (3), which may be folded from a substantially upright position of use (G) by the action of a spring device (6) into a substantially horizontal loading position (L), a spring force (F1) oriented in the direction of the loading position or a correspondingly oriented torque (M1) being able to be generated when folding forward from the position of use into the loading position by means of the spring device until reaching an intermediate position (A). According to the invention it is provided that a spring force (F2) oriented counter to the direction of the loading position (L) or a corresponding torque (M2) may be generated by means of the spring device (6) when the intermediate position (A) has been passed.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a pivotable backrest including a counterbalance electric and/or pneumatic drive, a locking/unlocking mechanism and an adjustment mechanism.

Abstract: An entertainment system for a vehicle has a display configured such that it may be pivoted with respect to a seat. The display may be configured to be pivoted in either a forward direction or a direction opposite the forward direction. The display may be configured to face both the forward direction of travel and a different direction. The display may also be configured to be pivoted in a direction by generating a first torque, and pivoted farther in that direction by generating a second torque of greater force than the first torque. This may be accomplished by using a damper and a spring. The system may include a braking mechanism, may include a frame where the display is visible through a first side and protected by a second side, and may be pivotable along more than one axis.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat part, a backrest, and at least one shell structure comprising a plastic material and having foam padding on a side on which an occupant sits. The at least one shell structure is arranged on frame parts provided on at least one of the seat part and the backrest, the frame parts comprising a metal material.

Abstract: In the case of a vehicle seat (1), in particular rear seat or rear seat bench, having a seat part (2) and having a backrest (3) which has a foldover function brought about with an electric drive, the foldover function bringing about a folding over of the backrest (3) or of a backrest part (4, 5) relative to the seat part (2), an adjustment of the inclination and the folding over are to take place in a simple and convenient manner. This is achieved by the electric drive (6) having an inclination-adjusting function, it being possible for the adjusting speed of the electric drive (6) to be changed in such a manner that a different speed can be set in each case for the inclination-adjusting function and for the foldover function.

Abstract: A vehicle seat with a head rest detachably fastenable at a backrest of the seat and with an integrated video screen, for which the head rest has a storing space. In order to obtain an improved possibility to mount the seat using simple constructive techniques and in order to allow a high security for the passengers of the vehicle in its mounted state, the video screen is fastened in the storing space in a form-locking and/or force-locking manner between the head rest and the backrest. In particular in a first embodiment the video screen is fastened on a support piece of the backrest, which is provided with sleeves for supporting rods of the head rest and with a plug-in contact for the video screen.
