  • Patent number: 11951880
    Abstract: A vehicle seat has a seat base, a carriage, and an adjusting device. The adjusting device is formed in such a way that the vehicle seat is adjustable vertically or the inclination is adjustable by the adjusting device. The adjusting device has a rotation device arranged on the carriage such that the seat base is rotatable relative to the carriage about a vertical axis by the rotation device. The adjusting device includes a strut, a first end of which is pivotably attached to the carriage or to a rotation base fixed to the carriage and a second end of which is pivotably attached to the seat base. The adjusting device has first and second linear actuators. The seat base is supported on the first linear actuator, the second linear actuator, and/or the strut. The first and second linear actuators cooperate to adjust the vehicle seat.

  • Publication number: 20080302203
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shift lever arrangement for a transmission of a motor vehicle having a shift lever for setting a selected shift stage of the transmission, with the shift lever being mounted, by means of a positioning unit, so as to be movable between a non-use position of the shift lever and a use position thereof for setting the shift stages and/or vice versa, wherein an anti-trap unit is assigned to the shift lever, in such a way that, after the activation of the positioning unit for adjusting the shift lever between the non-use position and the use position thereof and/or vice versa, the positioning force generated by the positioning unit and acting on the shift lever can be at least reduced.

  • Publication number: 20080264193
    Abstract: A shift device for a transmission of a motor vehicle has a shift lever that can be moved into different shift positions, an actuating unit that, as a function of the shift position of the shift lever, generates a shift signal for transmitting to an electric transmission control unit, and an electric transmission control unit that, as a function of the shift signal of the actuating unit, sends an electric activation signal to a shift element of the transmission in order to set the desired shift stage. The actuating unit includes a restoring element or restoring elements operating in such a way that the shift lever, after reaching the selected shift position, is always moved automatically into a predefined starting position.

  • Patent number: 6688697
    Abstract: A head restraint for a motor vehicle has a fixed support part and a movable, prestressed part. The parts are connected to each other via at least one upper and one lower lever, in which case the movable part can be moved from a normal position into a protective position and vice versa. The movable head-restraint part can be shifted forwards in a simple manner in that the levers are arranged parallel to each other. In order to prestress the movable part at least one spring is provided that engages at its one end on the fixed support part and at its other end directly or indirectly on one of the two levers.
