Abstract: A vehicle seat and a backrest adjuster (1) for a vehicle seat are provided in order to adjust the inclination of a backrest (2.1) of a vehicle seat (2). The backrest adjuster includes a transmission element (5) that is coupled to a fitting (4) and to a pivot bearing (3). A clamping element (11) is mounted in the region of the pivot bearing (3) and in the region of the fitting (4) lying opposite the pivot bearing. In the region between the pivot bearing (3) and the fitting (4), the clamping element (11) is arranged at least in part in the transmission element (5).

Abstract: A vehicle seat (1) has a driving device (20), including a pinion (25) in tooth engagement with a set of teeth (95) of an adjustment system, is fastened to a structural part (100) of the vehicle seat (1). At least one spring element (110) applies a force to the driving device (20) in the direction of the tooth engagement. A method for play-free attaching a driving device (20) to a structural part (100) of a vehicle seat (1) provides the driving device (20) as a drive of a height adjustment kinematic system (5). A force is applied to the driving device (20) in a direction of the tooth engagement by at least one spring element (110) such that a possible play between the pinion (25) and the set of teeth (95) is eliminated. The position of the driving device (20) in relation to the structural part (100) is secured.
