A seat cushion extension device is provided which can slide a seat cushion via a single spring, and has high assembly efficiency and a low weight due to a simple structure. The seat cushion extension device includes: a base having first and second rack gears provided to face each other; a cushion part provided on an upper portion of the base to move forward/backward; a locking gear part combined with a shaft extending from the cushion part to the base and having a first gear provided to be engaged with the first and second rack gears; and a manipulation part combined with the cushion part to move forward/backward between the cushion part and the first gear, and having a protruding part provided on a lower surface thereof.

An adjustment mechanism for a motor vehicle seat includes an annular motor with an inner nut housed in a rotor, a bracket attached to the seat, the annular motor being positioned in the bracket, and a lead screw that is threaded through the inner nut. When the annular motor is activated the rotor as well as the inner nut rotate about the lead screw resulting in relative translational motion of the bracket and hence the seat relative to the lead screw.

A device (219) includes a housing (301) and a link (320) displaceably arranged in the housing (301) and having an input port (323) configured to receive an input force (269) oriented along a first axis (91), a first output port (321) configured to provide a first output force (261) based on the input force (259, 269), and a second output port (322) configured to provide a second output force (262) based on the input force (259, 269). The link (320) is configured to move the first output port (321) from a start position (291) to a stop position along the first axis (91) by a first distance in response to receiving the input force (269) and to move the second output port (322) from the start position (291) to the stop position (294) along the first axis (91) by a second distance (422) in response to receiving the input force (259, 269). The first distance is smaller than the second distance.

A motor vehicle including at least one individual seat is provided. The individual seat includes a seat part and a backrest. The seat part has a seat-part main shell and seat-part side shells arranged thereon on respective sides. The backrest has a backrest main shell and backrest side shells arranged thereon on respective sides. A rail system is provided, which moves the respective seat-part side shell and/or the respective backrest side shell in a desired or specified position by way of actuators.

Actuating drive having: a transmission including a housing, a transmission gear engaging a driveshaft, a bearing, and a spindle rotatable about a rotational axis and extending through an inner thread of the transmission gear and outlets of the housing. The housing has a cylindrical bore receiving the bearing and defining a cylinder axis. The bearing is delimited by a three-dimensional area, the largest cross-sectional area of which is circular and, when viewed in the direction of the cylinder axis, perpendicular to the cylinder axis in the intersection of the cylinder axis and the rotational axis. The cross-sectional area decreases with increasing distance from the intersection in both directions of the cylinder axis. The bearing has two bearing shells, each having a bearing opening centered relative to the rotational axis, which the spindle passes through, and in which the transmission gear is rotatably mounted.

Center console provided with a fixed rail, extending in a longitudinal direction, a translatable member, a gearbox assembly and first and second cables. The translatable member may be coupled to the fixed rail and configured to move between a first position and a second position. The gearbox assembly may include a cable drum configured to rotate in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction. The first and second cables may each be coupled to the translatable member and a cable drum. As the cable drum rotates in the first rotational direction, the first cable may translate the translatable member towards the first position. As the cable drum rotates in the second rotational direction, the second cable may translate the translatable member towards the second position.

A circuit arrangement for controlling a system, and a system having a circuit arrangement, both suitable for use with a lumbar support with at least two air cushions, may include actuators, voltage supply paths, and electronic switching elements.

A device (219) includes a housing (301) and a link (320) displaceably arranged in the housing (301) and having an input port (323) configured to receive an input force (269) oriented along a first axis (91), a first output port (321) configured to provide a first output force (261) based on the input force (259, 269), and a second output port (322) configured to provide a second output force (262) based on the input force (259, 269). The link (320) is configured to move the first output port (321) from a start position (291) to a stop position along the first axis (91) by a first distance in response to receiving the input force (269) and to move the second output port (322) from the start position (291) to the stop position (294) along the first axis (91) by a second distance (422) in response to receiving the input force (259, 269). The first distance is smaller than the second distance.

A track system includes a track member with an elongate shaft mounted thereto. At least one support mechanism is mounted to the track member. The at least one support mechanism includes a housing. An engagement feature includes first and second engagement members spaced-apart from one another to define a receiving area therebetween. The first and second engagement members are operable between deployed and retracted positions relative to the housing. The elongate shaft is received in the receiving area when the first and second engagement members are in the deployed position.

To improve comfort, a motor vehicle seat has at least one cushion body, at least one cover concealing the cushion body at least in part, and at least one tensioner, which is operatively connected to the cover by a first end and is designed to adjust the cover tension. The tensioner is fixed by a second end to a clamping device. The clamping device is designed to modify and fix the distance of the tensioner from the first end thereof to the second end thereof and the clamping device is designed to be operated after completion of the motor vehicle seat.
