[0026] FIG. 3 a horizontal section of the motor vehicle seat assembly according to FIG. 2;

[0027] FIG. 4 a perspective view of a motor vehicle seat assembly with a motor vehicle seat according to FIG. 1 and with additional accessories;

[0028] FIG. 5 a perspective view of an additional embodiment of a motor vehicle seat;

[0029] FIG. 6 a perspective view of a further embodiment of a motor vehicle seat assembly with a motor vehicle seat according to FIG. 5 and with an accessory exposed in sections;

[0030] FIG. 7 a perspective view of a motor vehicle seat assembly with a motor vehicle seat according to FIG. 5 and with additional accessories; and

[0031] FIG. 8 a perspective view of an additional embodiment of a motor vehicle seat assembly.

[0032] A motor vehicle seat of motor vehicle seat assembly 10 shown in FIG. 2 is designated by reference sign 12 in FIG. 1.

[0033] Motor vehicle seat 12 has backrest 14, having front side 16 and rear side 18. Rear side 18 has boundary surface 20, which is formed, for example, by a trim or by a cover fabric of backrest 14.

[0034] In the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing, backrest 14 extends to top surface 22. Two headrest rods 24 and headrest 26 (shown in sections only) are arranged above top surface 22.

[0035] With an embodiment not shown in the drawing, backrest 14 extends continuously into a head region (so-called integral seat with integrated headrest).

[0036] Frame part 28 is arranged at boundary surface 20, which has two openings, in the form of insertion opening 30 and in the form of additional insertion opening 32. Insertion opening 30 is allocated to receiving bushing 34, which extends from boundary surface 20 of backrest 14 in the direction of front side 16 of backrest 14. Additional insertion opening 32 is allocated to additional receiving bushing 36, which also extends from boundary surface 20 in the direction of front side 16 of backrest 14.

[0037] Preferably, receiving bushings 34 and 36 are identical to one another in terms of their dimensions.

[0038] Insertion directions 38 and 40, designated by arrows 38 and 40, are allocated to receiving bushings 34 and 36.

[0039] Insertion directions 38 and 40 are parallel to one another and are oriented in the same direction, in the illustrated exemplary embodiment starting from boundary surface 20 and moving in the direction of front side 16 of backrest 14. When backrest 14 is in the upright position, insertion directions 38 and 40 are aligned parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and can either both point forward in the direction of travel or both point rearward in the direction of travel.

[0040] In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, receiving bushing 34 and additional receiving bushing 36 are arranged laterally, i.e., offset from one another in the transverse direction of the vehicle.

[0041] Receiving bushings 34 and 36 each serve to receive a plug-in part, wherein a plug-in part assigned to receiving bushing 34 is provided with reference sign 42 in FIG. 2 and an additional plug-in part assigned to additional receiving bushing 36 is provided with reference sign 44.

[0042] Plug-in part 42 and additional plug-in part 44 each project from bridge section 46 that bridges the distance between receiving bushings 34 and 36 and that, together with plug-in parts 42 and 44, is part of an accessory designated overall by reference sign 48. With the illustrated exemplary embodiment, accessory 48 comprises joint 50 connected to the bridge section and holder 52 for electronic device 54, such as monitor 56.

[0043] To fix plug-in parts 42 and 44 in receiving bushings 34 and 36, latching device 58 allocated to plug-in part 42 and additional latching device 60 allocated to additional plug-in part 44 are provided, compare FIG. 3.

[0044] Two latching elements of each of two latching devices 58 and 60 are motion-coupled to one another via, for example, rod-shaped coupling elements 62, 64.

[0045] Coupling element 62 is connected to actuating section 66 arranged adjacent to plug-in part 42. Coupling element 64 is connected to actuating section 68 arranged adjacent to additional plug-in part 44.

[0046] By pressing on two actuating sections 66 and 68, in each case two latching elements of the total of four latching elements of two latching devices 58 and 60 can be actuated simultaneously, so that latching connections between plug-in part 42 and receiving bushing 34 and simultaneously between additional plug-in part 44 and additional receiving bushing 36 can be released.

[0047] Motor vehicle seat assembly 10 with receiving bushing 34 and additional receiving bushing 36 can also be used for plug-in part 42 and additional plug-in part 44, which are allocated to accessories 70, 72, which are designed, for example, as clothes hooks and/or as clothes hangers, compare FIG. 4.

[0048] An embodiment of motor vehicle seat assembly 10 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 has a structure comparable to motor vehicle seat assembly 10 described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In contrast to the embodiment described above, receiving bushing 34 and additional receiving bushing 36 of the motor vehicle seat assembly according to FIGS. 5 and 6 are offset in height relative to one another. In all other respects, reference is made to the preceding description of FIGS. 1 to 4.

[0049] In the case of an arrangement of accessory 48 with two plug-in parts 42 and 44 and in the case of a height offset of receiving bushings 34 and 36, it is possible, deviating from the representation according to FIG. 6, to dispense with an additional latching device for the latching connection between additional plug-in part 44 and additional receiving bushing 36. In this case, it is advantageous to connect additional plug-in part 44 and additional receiving bushing 36 to one another only in a frictional-locking manner. Here, it is preferred if additional receiving bushing 36 is arranged below receiving bushing 34, so that a latching of accessory 48 to upper receiving bushing 34 takes place, wherein additional lower receiving bushing 36 and its frictional-locking connection with additional plug-in part 44 primarily serves to absorb bending moments. Such bending moments are due to the weight of electronic device 54 and accessory 48, and are transferred to additional receiving bushing 36 via additional plug-in part 44.

[0050] Moreover, motor vehicle seat assembly 10 according to FIGS. 5 and 6 enables flexible use for other accessories 70 and 72, compare FIGS. 4 and 7.

[0051] An embodiment of motor vehicle seat assembly 10 shown in FIG. 8 is also used to releasably fasten accessory 74.

[0052] Assembly 10 shown in FIG. 8 comprises carrier 76 that is releasably or permanently fixed between headrest rods 24 of motor vehicle seat 12. Carrier 76 has receiving bushing 34 with insertion opening 30.

[0053] Accessory 74 has plug-in part 42 that is connectable to receiving bushing 34, preferably via a releasable latching device.

[0054] Accessory 74 comprises additional plug-in part 44 connected to plug-in part 42 by bridge section 46.

[0055] Bridge section 46 is connected to plug-in section 42 via joint 50 and to additional plug-in section 44 via additional joint 78. Holder 80 protrudes from bridge section 46, which is configured to hold a smartphone, for example.

[0056] To arrange accessory 74 on motor vehicle seat 12, plug-in part 42 and additional plug-in part 44 are aligned parallel to one another and inserted into receiving bushing 34 of carrier 76 and into additional receiving bushing 36 of seat back 14 in mutually parallel and aligned insertion directions 38 and 40, where they are locked in place respectively.

[0057] For the case shown in FIG. 8, where backrest 14 is provided with two receiving bushings, such an assembly comprises third receiving bushing 82, that, in deviation from the representation in FIG. 8, enables use with an additional accessory, for example with accessory 70 or 72 according to FIG. 7.
