DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0029] FIG. 1 shows an adapter element according to the present invention in the form of an adapter plate 1. The adapter plate 1 is of plate-shaped configuration and, in particular, present in a rectangular shape. Mounting mechanisms in the form of through-holes are configured on corner regions 2 to 5. The through-holes penetrate a thickness of the adapter plate 1 which in FIG. 1 extends, advantageously entirely, into the sheet plane. Advantageously, the drawing plane forms a main plane of the adapter plate 1. An outer face 12 of the adapter plate 1 extends, for example, in the main plane. For example, the outer face 12 of the adapter plate 1 forms the main plane.

[0030] In a first and second corner region 2, 3, the mounting mechanisms are configured in the form of slots 6 to 8 and/or 9 to 11. Advantageously, all of the mounting mechanisms, in particular, through-holes of the first and second corner region 2, 3, are configured as a slot 6 to 11. Advantageously, in each case a slot 6 to 8 of the first corner region 2 is present in an identical manner to a further, in particular, a single further, slot 9 to 11 of the second corner region 3. A longitudinal extent of the slots 8 to 11 of the first and the second corner region 2, 3 is configured, for example, transversely, in particular, perpendicularly, to a width extent of the adapter plate 1. Advantageously, all of the slots of the first and the second corner region 2, 3 extend parallel to one another in the longitudinal extent thereof.

[0031] Advantageously, the adapter plate 1 is mounted in the direction of travel F on a vehicle or a vehicle seat (respectively not shown). The first and the second corner region 2, 3 are advantageously present mirror-symmetrically to one another relative to a mirror plane, which extends in the direction of travel F. Preferably, the first and the fourth corner region 2, 5 are present mirror-symmetrically to the second and third corner region 3, 4 relative to the mirror plane. Advantageously, the adapter plate 1 is configured mirror-symmetrically relative to the mirror plane.

[0032] The third and the fourth corner region 4, 5 advantageously comprise mounting mechanisms, in particular, through-holes, which are configured firstly as a slot 13, 14, as a free-form bore 15, 16 and, in particular, as a conventional cylinder-shaped bore 17, 18. The free-form bores 15, 16 advantageously extend transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the outer face 12 of the adapter plate 1 in the direction of a through-passage through the adapter plate 1. The free-form bores 15, 16 advantageously comprise a meandering contour which extends, for example, in a plane of the outer face 12. The free-form bores 15, 16 are configured, in particular arranged, on the adapter plate 1 mirror-symmetrically relative to the mirror plane, for example. A longitudinal extent of the slots 13, 14 of the third and fourth corner region 4, 5 is configured, for example, transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to a width extent of the adapter plate 1. Advantageously, all of the slots 6 to 11, 13, 14 of the four corner regions 2 to 5 extend parallel to one another in the longitudinal extent thereof.

[0033] FIGS. 2 to 5 show a rotary device 19 comprising a superstructure 20, a rotary unit 21 and a substructure 22. Moreover, for example, a control lever 23 may be arranged on the rotary unit 19, a rotational position of the rotary unit 21 and thus a position of the superstructure 20 relative to the substructure 22 being able to be fixed thereby.

[0034] The superstructure 20 and the substructure 22 of the rotary device 19 are advantageously configured in an identical manner. For example, both the superstructure 20 and the substructure 22 comprise the mounting mechanism arrangement of the adapter plate 1 of FIG. 1. For example, the adapter plate 1 is part of the superstructure 20 and/or the substructure 22. Hereinafter, corresponding to the variants cited above, the reference numerals of the adapter plate 1 are used identically for the rotary device 19.
