A vehicle seat having a drive device for driving a adjustment kinematics of the vehicle seat may have an adjustment arm, and a tensioning device. The drive device may have a pinion which can be rotated about a pinion rotation axis and which is in toothed engagement with a tooth segment of the adjustment arm. The tensioning device pretensions the adjustment arm so that the tooth segment is pretensioned in the direction of the pinion. The tensioning device has at least one sliding element which is in abutment with the adjustment arm. During an actuation of the height adjustment kinematics, the at least one sliding element slides along the adjustment arm. The sliding element is resiliently pretensioned by a resilient element.

Back-rest pivot fitting and seat with folding back-rest

A back-rest pivot fitting for a seat, having at least a seat pan, a folding back-rest, which is pivotable coupled to the seat pan, and a pivot fitting. The pivot fitting may have at least a first fitting member which is fixed to the seat pan, a second fitting member, which is pivotable coupled to the first fitting member and which is fixed to the back-rest, a recliner heart and an adjustment member.

Electric seat and angle adjustment device thereof

An electric seat and an angle adjustment device thereof are provided. The angle adjustment device includes an inner toothed plate and an outer toothed plate engaging with each other, and an eccentric cavity formed therebetween. An eccentric ring completely occupying a positive eccentric region of the eccentric cavity is provided in the eccentric cavity. The eccentric ring has a first accommodating region and a second accommodating region along a circumferential direction. The angle adjustment device further comprises a driving component for driving rotation of the eccentric ring. A damping component is provided in the first accommodating region and/or the second accommodating region, and the damping component is in a compressed state during operation of the driving component. The damping component eliminates a useless stroke in the above operation, thereby eliminating an adjustment lag experienced by a passenger during reverse adjustment of a seat and backrest.

SEATING ASSEMBLY WITH POWERED OR MANUAL ACTUATION

A vehicle seating assembly includes a frame movable between a sitting position and a standing position and pivotably coupled to a vehicle floor at a pivotable coupling defining a first axis of rotation. The vehicle seating assembly has a pivot bracket coupled to the vehicle floor, a linkage assembly with a link extending between the pivot bracket and the frame, and a shaft extending through the pivot bracket and the link in a direction transverse to the link, and defining a second axis of rotation. The vehicle assembly also includes a gear assembly with a sector gear and a pinion gear operable to move the sector gear from a first position to a second position, and a pawl assembly coupled to the sector gear and selectively engageable with the shaft to position the shaft in fixed and unfixed positions.

APPARATUS FOR TILTING SEAT CUSHION OF VEHICLE REAR SEAT

An apparatus of tilting a seat cushion of a rear seat may include a tilting function additionally provided to a seat cushion of a rear seat, so when a seatback reclines, it is possible to tilt up the front end portion of the seat cushion and sufficiently support the thighs of a passenger sitting in the rear seat using the front end portion of the seat cushion tilted upwards.

Dual motor device with application to power cinch and latch mechanism
11306517 · 2022-04-19 ·

A rotary drive actuation system for actuating a latch including: an output shaft having a member affixed at one end of the output shaft for coupling to a component of the latch; a common drive element affixed to the output shaft at the other end of the output shaft; and a plurality of motors coupled to the common drive element for simultaneously driving the common drive element and the output shaft in a first rotary direction to effect actuation of the latch.

Adjusting device having a spindle drive for a seat element of a vehicle seat

It is provided an adjusting device for a seat element of a vehicle seat supporting a body part of a seat user, with at least one driving device comprising a spindle drive and at least one adjustable support element for changing the contour or position of the seat element, wherein the spindle drive comprises a spindle extending along a spindle axis, which is floatingly mounted at a spindle end via a spindle holder such that at this spindle end the spindle is displaceable along at least one spatial direction extending transversely to the spindle axis. The spindle holder comprises a first and a second compensating element for a displaceability of the spindle end with respect to two first and second spatial directions extending approximately perpendicularly to each other and each perpendicularly to the spindle axis.

SPEED REDUCTION DEVICE FOR MOTOR

Disclosed is a speed reduction device for a vehicle motor. The speed reduction device includes an output gear connected to an output shaft of the motor, a transmission gear engaged with the output gear, a cam formed to be integrated with the transmission gear, a cycloid inner gear, a pair of wedges compressed against the inner peripheral surface of a through hole of the cycloid inner gear by elastic restoring force of a spring and configured to closely contact the cam, a ring gear partially engaged with the cycloid inner gear when the cycloid inner gear is eccentrically rotated, an end plate, and a final output gear configured to finally output rotational force of the cycloid inner gear, thereby preventing backlash between gears during rotational driving of the motor and reliably preventing movement of a seat after swivel adjustment is completed.

Open architecture power length adjuster assembly for a vehicle seat and method of manufacturing the same

A seat adjuster assembly for a vehicle seat assembly may include a housing, a worm, a spindle screw, a motor, and either a helical gear or a single-enveloping worm gear. The worm may be disposed within the housing for rotation about a first axis and having a thread. The helical gear or single-enveloping worm gear may be disposed within the housing for rotation about a second axis and meshingly-engaged with a pitch surface of the thread of the worm. The spindle screw may extend along the second axis and through the housing and the helical gear or single-enveloping worm gear. The spindle screw may be meshingly-engaged with the helical gear or single-enveloping worm gear. The motor may drive the worm to cause linear movement of the housing, worm, motor, and the helical gear or single-enveloping worm gear along the second axis.

Ultra-compact power length adjuster with anti-back drive capability and pinion-rack output for a vehicle seat

A seat adjuster drive including a stationary track that is fixed to a vehicle and a sliding track that is arranged in sliding engagement with the stationary track for movement fore and aft. A gear box, mounted to the sliding track, supports a pinion that is part of a rack and pinion drive assembly. The gear box houses a conical spiral gear set and one or more planetary gear sets. The conical spiral gear set includes a conical pinion gear that is coupled to an electric motor and a conical spiral gear that is arranged in meshing engagement with the conical pinion gear. The conical spiral gear is carried on the pinion in a sliding fit. The one or more planetary gear sets rotatably couple the conical spiral gear and the pinion through a gear reduction.
