Abstract: A vehicle seat section adjusting device includes a seat section adjusting element for adjusting the width of a seat section. The adjusting device includes a mounting mechanism for movably supporting the seat section adjusting element on the seat, and a drivable adjusting mechanism for adjusting the seat section adjusting element from or to a rest position relative to the mounting mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat section adjusting device having a seat section adjusting element (21) for adjusting the width of a seat section (20) of a seat in an adjustment direction, a mounting mechanism (22, 10) for movably supporting the seat section adjusting element (21) on the seat, and a drivable adjusting mechanism (35a, 45) for adjusting the seat section adjusting element (21) from or to a rest position relative to the mounting mechanism (22, 10). Effective seat width adjustment with a small space requirement for installation is made possible in that the seat section adjusting element (21) forms an abutment (23; 46) running obliquely to its longitudinal direction and/or having an arc shape for the adjusting mechanism (35a; 45) and the adjusting mechanism (35a; 45) for adjusting the seat section adjusting element (21) is fashioned and arranged adjustably so that a portion of the adjusting mechanism (35a; 45) moves along the abutment (23; 46) and in contact therewith.
