Abstract: For a motor vehicle with at least one passenger seat which has attachment devices for a child's safety seat that can be attached to it and at least one air bag in the region of the passenger seat, the invention proposes that at least one attachment device for the child's safety seat be provided with a sensor for deactivating the air bag which reacts to the attachment of the child's safety seat. This assures that during the transportation of the child in the child's safety seat, the air bag in front of the child's safety seat is deactivated.

Abstract: In an arrangement for releasably mounting pivotable arm rests of seats, especially center arm rests of motor vehicle rear seats, pivot pins which engage on both sides in a support placed on the back rest of the seat are attached to the arm rest.The support is split so that it has a metal support part with two bearing arms, placed on either side of the arm rest, which have slot-like bearing recesses open at one side and form a first bearing part. The slot-like bearing recesses can each be closed by plastic caps which can be fitted onto the bearing arms. The plastic caps form a second bearing part and simultaneously serve as covers for the bearing points.

Abstract: A locking arrangement for a seat back of a motor vehicle rear seat includes a tongue-shaped locking member which is fastened to a body component and provided with a recess. The latching device includes a plastic housing built into the seat back. The plastic housing accommodates a single-arm latch bar which is adapted to engage into the recess of the tongue-like locking member by way of a latch tab.A slidable pin is mounted for axial displacement in a guide bore of the plastic housing and is seated with its one end on the latch bar. On its other end the slidable pin is provided with an actuating button which is embedded in a trough-like grip member. Upon pressing the actuating button, the latch bar is pivoted against the biasing force of a spring, and the latch tab is moved out of the recess of the tongue-shaped locking member, which will cause unlocking of the seat back.

Abstract: Before mounting a rear seat of a motor vehicle, a wedge-shaped mounting aid is placed on two adjacent belt buckles. The mounting aid engages with its tongues in the belt buckles and is therefore held in the same manner as the belt tongues of the usual safety belts. Since the mounting aid tapers toward the seat, it slips, together with the belt buckles, easily through the slit provided for this purpose in the seat.

Abstract: The seat back for a motor vehicle rear seat assembly has a rear panel made of plastics. A locking mechanism housing, which is part of a seat back locking arrangement, and the rear panel are forming a one-piece structure. To provide the necessary rigidity, fiber glass mats are laminated into the plastics. The plastic material itself is polypropylene.
