Description

The invention relates to a vehicle with a first operating element arrangement with associated operating elements and a second operating element arrangement with associated operating elements, by means of which the vehicle can be controlled independently of one another in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction.

A conventional operating element arrangement in a motor vehicle comprises a steering wheel as an operating element for controlling the transverse movement and the gas and brake pedals as operating elements for controlling the longitudinal movement.

From the pamphlet DE 195 48 717 C1 an operating element arrangement is known which comprises two operating elements which can be operated independently of one another for controlling the longitudinal and / or transverse movement of the motor vehicle. At least one of the operating elements is designed as a manually operable control stick and is carried by a console which can be displaced or pivoted between a driver's seat operating position and a passenger seat operating position. In addition, at least one of the operating elements can be removed from its functional position in the vehicle interior while maintaining its longitudinal speed and / or steering angle control function and can be actuated from outside the motor vehicle.

The Institute for Vehicle Concepts (DLR) is presenting a transport vehicle that can be steered manually without any conventional control element arrangement and that serves as an airport apron vehicle on the website http://www.dlr.de. The driver's only control element for driving is the joystick attached to an armrest. Moving forward and backward determines forward and reverse travel. The further the joystick is moved from the central position, the faster the vehicle travels. The maximum speed can be continuously limited with a potentiometer on the back of the joystick control. Moving the joystick to the left and right allows the vehicle to move in the same direction to the left or right. Rotation on the spot around a pivot point between the drive wheels is even possible. In this vehicle, driving is only possible using this joystick control.

In the case of commercial vehicles, it is customary to equip a driver's cab for each type of vehicle with a specific number of seating elements. This is usually a vehicle seat, a passenger seat and possibly a center seat between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. Furthermore, one row of seats is usually provided, with some vehicle types several rows of seats one behind the other are provided. The equipment is relatively unchangeable in simple commercial vehicles. In the case of people carriers or so-called multivans, the equipment can be changed, something that more and more buyers attach great importance to.

To adapt the equipment of a driver's cab, the publication suggests DE 100 451 38 B4 an integrative modular system with exchangeable modules. Due to the modular system, different requirement profiles can be individually addressed in a driver's cab of a vehicle by combining different modules. It is proposed, for example, to design an interface module which, on the one hand, can be fixed in place in the driver's cab and, on the other hand, has devices on which different modules can be placed without having to make any changes to the modules or the interface module. By arranging different types of modules on the interface module, the driver's cab can be easily redesigned in a variable manner. This modular approach basically offers a starting point for the invention.

In the field of some commercial vehicles, especially in the field of delivery commercial vehicles, there is currently no suitable modular solution. In the case of commercial vehicles, especially in the area of the driver's cab, especially in the case of delivery vehicles, variable vehicle seats that are tailored to this type of use are desired for the delivery of goods, in particular in the driver's cabs of commercial vehicles.

The publications DE 92 04 392 U1 , DE 11 36 592 B , DE 10 2006 015 504 A1 , DE 698 03 469 T2 and DE 43 23 783 C2 called.

The invention is based on the object of making a vehicle seat of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, more variable. This is intended to make the vehicle's intended use as comfortable as possible.

The starting point for the invention is a vehicle with a first operating element arrangement with associated operating elements and a second operating element arrangement with associated operating elements, by means of which the vehicle can be controlled independently of one another in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction.

Provision is made according to the invention that the first control element arrangement is a driver's seat and the second control element arrangement is a convertible passenger seat is assigned, the second operating element arrangement being assigned to a passenger seat converted into a standing seat, the second operating element arrangement being active when an upholstered part of the standing seat is arranged in an inclined position, and a weight sensor system of the standing seat detects that a person is on the upholstered part of the inclined standing seat, wherein the first control element arrangement is switched inactive when a second active control element arrangement.

The standing seat advantageously enables a person to quickly reach a position in which comfortable operation of the second operating element arrangement is possible. The operator does not have to sit on a vehicle seat to operate the second operator control element arrangement, but can operate while standing, which saves time overall.

In addition, it is provided in a preferred embodiment that the speed of the vehicle that can be controlled with the second operating element arrangement is limited to a predeterminable low value. This predetermined speed value is only 6 km / h, for example. When the vehicle is traveling at low speed, a so-called maneuvering operation can advantageously be carried out.

The passenger seat is characterized in particular by the fact that the vehicle seat can be converted from an emergency seat to a standing seat and vice versa.

Advantageously, the standing seat is previously an emergency seat, so that when the standing seat is not required, an emergency seat is available for the driver or front passenger, which can advantageously be designed in different dimensions, as explained in more detail in the description becomes.

Such a convertible or convertible vehicle seat with an emergency seat function and a standing seat function is formed separately in one embodiment into a seat part and a seat back, so that the stand-up seat can be easily formed from the emergency seat by removing the seat back.

In a further embodiment it is provided that the seat part and the seat back of the vehicle seat designed as an emergency seat are fastened to a carrier which is arranged on a substructure of the vehicle.

According to the invention, the operating element arrangement is preferably proposed on the convertible passenger seat, which is characterized in that the passenger seat is arranged on a carrier attached to the body, the operating elements for controlling a vehicle being integrated in the carrier in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction.

The carrier thus advantageously allows the passenger seat to be connected and, moreover, the operating elements of the second operating element arrangement are also arranged in the same carrier.

In a preferred embodiment, the carrier has a base part on which a first and a second control part are arranged. The first and second control parts are each designed in a type of control panel, the respective upper edge of the control panel-like control part protruding a distance from an upper side of the base part of the carrier, whereby a receiving space is formed between the control parts in which an upholstery part of a seat part can be arranged. This configuration advantageously supports a very compact and therefore space-saving arrangement of the cushion part and the control parts in a single carrier.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the upholstery part of the seat part is adjustable in inclination relative to the support, which advantageously increases comfort and provides a safety function, which will be discussed in detail in the description.

To control the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the vehicle, there is a first control element in the form of an emergency stop control element and a second control element in the form of a gear selection control element in the first control part and a third control element in the form of a joystick in the second control part is arranged. Details of the design are also explained in more detail in the description section.

The invention is explained below in an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

One possible embodiment of the invention is explained below in an exemplary embodiment. For the purposes of the description, the direction in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is to be designated by “x”. "Y" denotes the direction in the horizontal of the vehicle transversely to the x-direction, and "z" denotes the direction in the vertical of the vehicle transversely to the x-direction. This way of designating the spatial directions in Cartesian coordinates corresponds to the coordinate system generally used in the motor vehicle industry.

The same reference numbers are used below for the same components within all the figures, although not in every figure all components already presented are explained again using the reference numerals. Show it:

• 1 a side view of a utility vehicle;
• 2 to 4th each a perspective interior view of the utility vehicle in the area of a first row of seats of a driver's cab with a convertible passenger seat and
• 5 to 10 each a perspective interior view of the utility vehicle in the area of a first row of seats of a driver's cab with a passenger seat converted into a standing seat on a carrier in which a control element arrangement for controlling the vehicle is integrated.

1 shows a motor vehicle 100 , in particular a commercial vehicle, which is used for example for mail and / or parcel delivery. The car 100 has a side door or side doors which, depending on which door / s is / are open, a first row of seats S1 and / or one behind the first row of seats S1 release or close the lying area.

In the embodiment it is according to 1 around only one side door, in the manner of a pivoting sliding door 110 that are in 1 in a first open position 110 ' and in this position only the area of the first row of seats S1 of a cab 120 of the motor vehicle 100 releases.

The first row of seats S1 has a driver's seat 10 and a convertible passenger seat 20th on.

The driver's seat 10 and the convertible passenger seat 20th are on one in the cab 120 intended substructure 121 arranged.

On the substructure 121 is, according to 3 , A carrier T arranged. On this carrier T are different types of passenger seats 20th can be arranged.

On the carrier T can "full" passenger seats 20th a first group attached, in particular latched, which are characterized in that a seat back 20B via a fitting with the seat part 20A connected is. The connection of these passenger seats 20th on the carrier T takes place exclusively via the seat part 20A as will be explained later. A passenger seat 20th of the first group, is as usual in the full width - seen in y-direction - between the driver's seat 10 and passenger door are trained.

Another passenger seat 20th the first group can be designed in a reduced width - seen in the y-direction - as a so-called emergency seat, so that between the passenger door and the passenger seat 20th a passage 140 to a hold 150 that arises for the intended use of the vehicle 100 is of particular use, as will be explained.

The passenger seats 20th of the first group are described below, but they are not shown in the figures.

On the carrier T can passenger seats 20th a second group fastened, in particular locked, which are characterized in that a seat back 20B from the seat part 20A is formed separately. These passenger seats 20th the second group allow for the intended use of the vehicle 100 a higher variability, as will also be explained below.

The connection of these passenger seats 20th of the second group on the carrier T takes place separately from each other via a first seat back connection 20B and carrier T and a second connection seat part 20A and carrier T . A passenger seat 20th the second group can, as usual, in the full width - seen in the y-direction - between the driver's seat 10 and passenger door are trained. This passenger seat is also not shown in detail in the figures.

Another convertible passenger seat 20th the second group can have a reduced width - seen in the y-direction - as a so-called “narrow” emergency seat 20-1 or as a so-called "narrow standing seat" 20-2 be trained so that between the passenger door and the passenger seat 20th the mentioned passage 140 to the hold 150 that arises for the intended use of the vehicle 100 is of particular use, as will be explained.

The narrow emergency seat shown in more detail in the figures is particularly advantageous 20-1 and the narrow standing seat 20-2 with reduced width, with the narrow emergency seat 20-1 in the narrow standing seat 20-2 is convertible and vice versa, which will be discussed in more detail below.

In 1 is on the associated passenger side of the vehicle 100 , according to the arrow P1 in the direction of travel x (in the vehicle 100 right) a person P shown with her buttocks on the convertible front passenger seat 20th , in training as a standing seat 20-2 , sits on.

The convertible passenger seat 20th (see already 3 ) points from the seat part 20A separately executed seat back 20B on.

2 shows that the seat back 20B , by the from the seat part 20A separate execution of the seat back 20B , behind a seat back 10B an adjacent driver's seat 10 can be arranged.

The 3 shows a preliminary stage for training the standing seat 20-2 caused by the shipment (arrow P3 ) the seat back 20B of the passenger seat 20th behind the seat back 10B the driver's seat 10 no seat back 20B has more.

The seat part 20A of the standing seat 20-2 is like 3 also shows on the carrier T mounted with the substructure 121 connected is. The seat part 20A is, according to the arrow P2 towards the carrier T adjustable in inclination, increasing the size of the contact surface of the person's buttocks P on the seat part 20A of the standing seat 20-2 changeable and by the person P is optimally adjustable depending on needs. 3 shows the seat back 20B , according to the arrow P3 at the moment the seat back 20B behind the seat back 10B the driver's seat 10 is pushed.

Will the seat back 20B not as in 3 indicated behind the seat back 10B the driver's seat 10 pushed, there is a narrow emergency seat on the passenger side 20-1 formed the seat back 20B and the reclining seat part 20A includes. It is a narrow jump seat 20-1 as the seat part 20A and the seat back 20B do not have the usual dimensions, because the narrow standing seat 20-2 (without seat back 20B ) and the narrow jump seat 20-1 , 20-2 (from seat part 20A and seat back 20B ) have a narrower seat back than the usual vehicle seats 20B and a narrower seat part 20A - across the direction of travel x seen in y-direction - on, the seat part 20A in addition - seen in the x direction - is also made shorter than usual.

How in particular through 4th becomes clear, is in the embodiment in the interior of the vehicle 100 behind the driver's seat 10 the first row of seats S1 a load compartment partition 130 and behind it the hold 150 from the cab 120 dividing load compartment sliding door 160 arranged according to the arrow P4 - in y-direction - in a position behind the passenger seat 20th (Passage 140 closed) and opened again (passage 140 open).

By having the passenger seat 20th both as a narrow jump seat 20-1 as well as a narrow standing seat 20-2 - viewed in the y-direction - is narrower, forms in the interior of the vehicle 100 the passage 140 from by which a person P with the sliding load compartment door open 160 longitudinal y running from the cab 120 in the hold 150 and can get back, which is a particular advantage. The one as a narrow emergency seat 20-1 or narrow standing seat 20-2 trained passenger seat 20th namely affects the free passage 140 to the hold 150 Not. Especially with a pivoting sliding door 110 who like 10 shows fully in a second position 110 '' is postponed, results in the vehicle 100 a very large loading opening. This very large loading opening is of particular advantage for the intended use - loading and unloading - the advantage being increased in particular by the fact that the vehicle provided as a utility vehicle 100 is designed without a lateral B-pillar. There is an access opening to the vehicle 100 without the annoying B-pillar after opening the pivoting sliding door 110 in the second position 110 '' , is formed through the cargo area opening and the passenger door opening.

As already mentioned above, it is also proposed to add a passenger seat of the second group (seat part 20A and seat back 20B are separate) and the seat back 20B and the seat part 20A - across the direction of travel x - seen in the y-direction - do not run narrower than usual, whereby the seat part 20A but, viewed in the x-direction, is also made shorter than usual. Then is the passenger seat 20th also convertible, but the conversion then takes place starting from such a front passenger seat 20th to a "wide" standing seat 20-2 taking away the seat back, which has the usual dimensions 20B instead, so that a wide standing seat 20-2 from a seat part 20A remains in the usual width, which, however, is shortened when viewed in the x-direction. However, in such a case, no passage is formed 140 from by which the person P from the cab 120 directly into the hold 150 can arrive. The wider standing seat formed in this way is not shown. It interferes with the free passage 140 to the hold 150 longitudinal y , but advantageously with the standing seat 20-2 generally associated functions, which are described below, also for the wider standing seat 20-2 are usable.

The 5 to 10 show in a synopsis an expanded use of the convertible passenger seat just described 20th ; 20-1 , 20-2 in a commercial vehicle, which is explained below.

The previous description makes it clear that in the cab 120 passenger seats of a commercial vehicle 20th different designs can be arranged, which are also changeable, whereby a higher variability is achieved than before.

There is also the option of using the front passenger seat 20th in the cab 120 of the utility vehicle in addition to converting the passenger seat 20th to make it even more comfortable depending on the intended use of the commercial vehicle.

• Bei der Zustellung von Waren mit Hilfe eines Paket- und/oder Postzustellungsfahrzeuges wird bisher wie folgt vorgegangen:
  • Eine Waren zustellende Person P steigt zunächst an der Fahrerseite des Fahrzeuges 100 aus. Anschließend begibt sich die Person P auf die Beifahrerseite und öffnet eine Schwenk-Schiebetür, die nur die seitliche Laderaumöffnung im Fahrzeug 100 überspannt, so dass die Person P den hinter dem Fahrerhaus 120 angeordneten Laderaum 150 von der Seite des Fahrzeuges 100 aus begehen kann. Anschließend wird die jeweilige Ware entnommen, an den Adressaten zugestellt, wonach die zustellende Person P nach dem vollständigen Schließen der Schwenk-Schiebetür 110 wieder auf dem Fahrersitz 10 Platz nimmt und zur nächsten Zustelladresse fährt. Insbesondere bei der Post- und Paketzustellung in eng bebauten Gebieten sind die zu fahrenden Teilstrecken oft sehr gering, so dass sich der beschriebene Vorgang innerhalb kürzester Zeit ständig wiederholt.

For example, when using a commercial vehicle as a parcel and / or mail delivery vehicle, the following efficient configuration is proposed:

• When delivering goods with the help of a parcel and / or mail delivery vehicle, the following procedure has been used:
  • A person delivering the goods P rises first on the driver's side of the vehicle 100 out. Then the person goes P on the passenger side and opens a pivoting sliding door that only opens the side of the vehicle 100 overstretched so the person P the one behind the cab 120 arranged cargo space 150 from the side of the vehicle 100 can commit from. Then the respective goods are removed and delivered to the addressee, after which the delivering person P after the pivoting sliding door has been closed completely 110 back in the driver's seat 10 Take a seat and drive to the next delivery address. Particularly when delivering mail and parcels in densely built-up areas, the sections to be driven are often very short, so that the process described is repeated over and over again within a very short time.

• Im Folgenden wird ein schmaler wandelbarer Beifahrersitz 20 als Notsitz 20-1 und Stehsitz 20-2 beschrieben. Die Ausführungen gelten sinngemäß für einen breiten wandelbaren Beifahrersitz 20.

In order to make this intended use of the utility vehicle more comfortable, the invention proposes the use of a wide or narrow emergency seat 20-1 trained passenger seat 20th as already described, in a wide or narrow standing seat 20-2 to convert and also to design as follows:

• The following is a slim convertible passenger seat 20th as an emergency seat 20-1 and standing seat 20-2 described. The explanations apply accordingly to a wide convertible front passenger seat 20th .

The carrier already described T is designed so that on him for one person P easily accessible controls B1 , B2 , B3 a control element arrangement B. can be arranged.

The carrier T includes a base part T10 , on which in the exemplary embodiment four the carrier T supporting legs T11 , T12 , T13 , T14 are arranged with the substructure 121 are preferably releasably connected, the support feet T11 , T12 , T13 , T14 a desired distance from the substructure 121 produce. The base part also includes T10 four shots T15 which are essentially in the x / y plane of the base part T10 one end of the support feet T11 , T12 , T13 , T14 are arranged.

With the base part T10 Connected in several pieces or designed in one piece are a first control part each arranged in the lateral y-direction T21 and a second control part T22 . On the second control part T22 is a support element in the vertical direction T22-1 arranged that at the same time as a receiving element for parts of a third control element B3 the second control element arrangement B. serves, the support element T22-1 the carrier T via the second control part T22 also on the side of the substructure 121 supports.

The upholstery part 20B-1 of the seat part 20A of the standing seat 20-2 is via locking elements on the underside of the upholstery part 20B-1 on the first, front recordings T15-1 in the carrier T latched. carrier T and upholstery 20B-1 together form the substructure of the standing seat 20-2 . The second, back shots T15-2 are used to lock the seat back 20B when redesigning the standing seat 20-2 to a jump seat 20-1 .

The control element B3 and the other controls B1 , B2 the second control element arrangement B. are ergonomic in the control sections T21 , 22nd arranged so that they are accessible to the operator P are easily accessible and can be used intuitively and correctly. The person sits to operate P with her buttocks on the seat cushion 20B-1 of the seat part 20A and looks accordingly 1 in the direction of travel x . The left hand operates the first and second controls B1 , B2 on the first control part T21 and the right hand operates the third control element B3 on the second control part T22 .

In the first control part T21 The first control element is an emergency stop control element B1 and a gear selection control element as the second control element B2 arranged. Depending on the position of the gear selection control element B2 in + x direction or -x direction, according to the arrow P5 , is based on a centrally arranged neutral position of the gear selection control element B2 a forward or reverse travel in a front, preferably rear position of the gear selection control element B2 switched. The actual driving after the selection of the driving direction in + x or -x direction using the gear selection control element B2 is done manually with a manually operated joystick B3 made on the opposite side in the second control part T22 is arranged.

The joystick B3 is in the second control part T22 arranged and has an invisible vertical bearing part on which a handle part arranged in the horizontal direction B31 is stored. The vertical bearing part extends vertically downward into the support element T22-1 into it so that the support element T22-1 , as mentioned, also serves as a receiving element for the bearing part.

• Eine horizontale Schwenkbewegung, gemäß dem Pfeil P6, des in einer Ausgangsposition in x-Richtung ausgerichteten Griffteiles B31, in der x-y-Ebene (nach links und rechts) gegenüber dem Lagerteil des Joysticks B3, welches an seinem oberen Ende einen Drehpunkt mit einer Drehachse z1 für das Griffteil B31 ausbildet, bewirkt eine Kurvenfahrt des Fahrzeuges.

A respective direction of movement (according to the arrows P6 , P7 ) of the handle part B31 the following functions are assigned:

• A horizontal pivoting movement, according to the arrow P6 , of the handle part aligned in an initial position in the x-direction B31 , in the xy plane (to the left and right) opposite the bearing part of the joystick B3 , which at its upper end has a pivot point with an axis of rotation z1 for the handle part B31 forms, causes cornering of the vehicle.

The joystick B3 an actuator for steering angle transmission to the steering of the vehicle is assigned analogously to a steering movement on a steering wheel. This actuator also ensures that the handle part B31 of the joystick B3 a counterforce is assigned which becomes greater the further the handle part B31 is moved out of its starting position. A large steering movement is therefore only possible when a large counterforce is overcome on the handle part B31 achievable. This improves safety and operation, since only small steering movements occur during operation when low forces are applied.

The speed of the vehicle is controlled in a similar way to an accelerator pedal operation, using the handle B31 in the vertical z-direction towards the base part of the joystick B3 according to the arrow P7 is moved like a hub. The wider the handle part B31 is moved downward in the direction of the base part against the force of a spring element, the faster the vehicle moves 100 . Letting go of the handle part B31 with a stroke in the opposite direction supported by the tensioned spring element leads to an immediate braking of the vehicle 100 to a standstill.

This second control element arrangement B. was related to the narrow standing seat 20-2 described. The narrow standing seat 20-2 , the narrow jump seat 20-1 and the second control element arrangement B. In a first embodiment variant, they jointly have a width - seen in the y direction - at which the passage described 140 between cab 120 to the hold 150 preserved.

• Eine zustellende Person P steigt zunächst an der Fahrerseite des Fahrzeuges 100 aus. Anschließend begibt sich die Person P auf die Beifahrerseite und öffnet dort eine Schwenk-Schiebetür 110 in die zweite Position 110'', bei der die Person P den hinter dem Fahrerhaus 120 angeordneten Laderaum 150 und darüber hinaus die Beifahrertüröffnung des Fahrzeuges 100 aus begehen kann. Es bildet sich eine sehr große Ladeöffnung, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass keine B-Säule ausgebildet ist und der Durchgang 140 ein Durchladen von gegebenenfalls sperrigen Gütern in Längsrichtung x des Fahrzeuges 100 bis in das Fahrerhaus 120 hinein ermöglicht. Die jeweilige Ware wird aus dem Laderaum 150 entnommen. Die Person P stellt die Ware dem Adressaten zu, wonach die zustellende Person P die Schiebetür in der zweiten Position 100'' offen lässt oder in die erste Position 110' schließt und somit den Laderaum 150 sichert. Die Person P nimmt jedoch jetzt nicht wieder auf dem Fahrersitz 10 Platz. Stattdessen benutzt die Person P den Stehsitz 20-2, indem sie in die Beifahrertüröffnung einsteigt und sich mit dem Gesäß mit Blickrichtung nach vorn in Fahrtrichtung x an dem Stehsitz 20-2 anlehnt. Die Person P steuert das Fahrzeug 100, nachdem sie vorzugsweise die Beifahrertür geschlossen hat, jetzt mittels der bereits beschriebenen Bedienelemente B2, B3 der zweiten Bedienelementanordnung B zur nächsten Zustelladresse.

With the second control element arrangement B. , one pass 140 and the arrangement of the narrow standing seat 20-2 in the cab 120 the delivery of goods is now carried out according to the invention as follows:

• A delivering person P rises first on the driver's side of the vehicle 100 out. Then the person goes P on the passenger side and opens a pivoting sliding door there 110 in the second position 110 '' where the person P the one behind the cab 120 arranged cargo space 150 and also the passenger door opening of the vehicle 100 can commit from. A very large loading opening is formed, which is characterized by the fact that there is no B-pillar and the passage 140 loading of possibly bulky goods in the longitudinal direction x of the vehicle 100 right into the cab 120 into it. The respective goods are taken out of the hold 150 taken. The person P delivers the goods to the addressee, after which the delivering person P the sliding door in the second position 100 '' leaves open or in the first position 110 ' closes and thus the hold 150 secures. The person P does not take the driver's seat again 10 Place. Instead, the person uses P the standing seat 20-2 by stepping into the passenger door opening and facing forward in the direction of travel x at the standing seat 20-2 leans on. The person P controls the vehicle 100 , after she has preferably closed the passenger door, now using the controls already described B2 , B3 the second control element arrangement B. to the next delivery address.

Wide standing seat 20-2 , wide jump seat 20-1 and the second control element arrangement B. can in a second variant together the full width - seen in the y-direction - between the driver's seat 10 and passenger door, so that the described passage 140 from the cab 120 to the hold 150 no longer exists. The basic functions of the standing seat just described 20-2 however remain.

There is the vehicle 100 while driving by means of the second control element arrangement B. limited to a low predeterminable speed of, for example, 6 km / h.

With both design variants there is thus the advantage that the person P not about the vehicle 100 needs to walk around to the vehicle 100 from the driver's seat 10 to drive to the next delivery address. The result is a more comfortable situation compared to the usual procedure, which in particular saves time and facilitates the loading and unloading of goods.

Seat occupancy detection ensures that the vehicle is safe to operate. The passenger seat 20th is equipped with seat occupancy detection, which recognizes that the passenger seat 20th as a standing seat 20-2 has been converted and used.

A control of the seat occupancy detection causes the second control element arrangement B. only active when the person P with her buttocks up the upholstery 20B-1 sits on, that is, is used, and the upholstery 20B-1 pivoted to an inclined position, that is, in a standing seat 20-2 has been converted. That the person P with the buttocks on the upholstery 20B-1 leans against, is recorded by a weight sensor system that recognizes that a person P on the upholstery 20B-1 or to the upholstery 20B-1 leans on. When folding the upholstery part 20B-1 a circuit is closed that signals that the passenger seat 20th as a standing seat 20-2 is trained. The folding of the upholstery part 20B-1 can preferably only be done when the seat back 20B was removed. This gives a high level of security.

When it signals that a person P the standing seat 20-2 used, conventional driving with a first control element arrangement is used A. where a person P in the driver's seat 10 sits up, prevents. A parallel ride over the first, the driver's seat 10 assigned first operating arrangement A. that have a conventional pedals and a steering wheel, not shown A1 has ( 1 ) and the second control element arrangement B. of the standing seat 20-2 is therefore not possible. The vehicle 100 can either only via the first control element arrangement A. or via the second control element arrangement B. be driven.

To secure driving by means of the control element arrangement B. it is also provided that driving the vehicle 100 is limited to a low predeterminable speed, for example 6 km / h. Despite a full stroke by means of the handle part B31 of the joystick B3 downwards to accelerate the vehicle, the control system ensures that the vehicle does not exceed a speed of 6 km / h, for example.

As explained above, "full" passenger seats can also be used 20th of the first group, which have a seat back 20B via a fitting with the seat part 20A connected is. These passenger seats 20th have the usual width (y-direction) and the usual depth (x-direction) of the seat part 20A as well as the usual width (y-direction) of the seat back 20B on.

Such a passenger seat 20th sits on the carrier T , with the four shots T15 now at the same time - unlike before - on the underside of the seat part 20A and the entire vehicle seat 20th hold. The connection of this passenger seat 20th on the carrier T , based on the central axis of the front passenger seat is then asymmetrical, with the connection via on the underside of the seat part 20A also asymmetrically arranged locking means is made on the front and rear recordings T15-1 , T15-2 of the wearer T lock into place.

Such a passenger seat 20th points further, as well as those in the 5 to 10 shown jump seats 20-1 the second group, one (see 10 ) integrated three-point belt or attached to the vehicle 30th on.

A three-point belt attached to the vehicle 30th has for example a belt end fitting attached to the vehicle floor as well as a belt retractor and a height-adjustable belt deflector located above the belt retractor, which in the exemplary embodiment are arranged on a B-pillar offset inward into the vehicle compartment. The associated belt lock, which is used to hold the belt tongue, is arranged in the exemplary embodiment on the substructure of the vehicle seat and completes the three-point belt system.

On the side of such a "full" passenger seat 20th can also use the control units T21 , T22 the control element arrangement B. with the controls B1 , B2 , B3 for the person P be arranged accessible. The functions described above can be applied to such a “full-fledged” passenger seat 20th transfer.
