Description

Adjusting Device Description Field of the Invention The invention refers to an adjusting device according to the preamble of claim 1 and the utilization of such an adjusting device according to the subordinate claim.

State of the Art Known from the state of the art are adjusting devices of vehicle seats, which function with an inner cartridge, which has an internal thread for a driving spindle and an external twisted thread, wherein the external twisted thread engages the twisted grooves belonging to a sleeve which is positioned in a fixed location so as to encompass the cartridge. The DE 10 2006 004 968 Al shows a corresponding adjusting possibility, wherein a back can be driven at the cartridge via a gearing, thus adjusting the tilting of the back. This twisted gearing causes a rotation of a plug-in because of the axial sliding of this plug-in on a spindle, which is then transmitted to a fitting profile of the seat back via a gearing. Basically, the adjusting device of the above mentioned publication serves to produce a transmission between the spindle drive and the back of the seat.

Disclosure of the Invention It is the objective of the invention to define an adjusting device, with which a reliable adjustment especially of a seat, but also of the back of vehicle seats is facilitated.

Attainment of the Objective The objective is attained by the object of claim 1. A further aspect of the invention refers to a use of such an object for adjusting a seat part. Preferably the seat part is in particular a seat, a back, a part of the back or a part of a seating surface of the vehicle seat. The adjustment shall be facilitated in the tilting and/or in the height.

For the arrangement of the fist sleeve with at least one twisted internal groove and for further components explicit reference is made to the published DE 10 2006 968 Al. This reference in particular refers to the axially non-relocatable and torque-proof bearing of the fist sleeve of to the invention, wherein said sleeve of the invention corresponds to the one in figure 1 of the referred application.

What is new with this invention is the provision of a second sleeve, which is preferably arranged co-axially in relation to the first sleeve on the cartridge. The second sleeve, in this instance, has the advantage that the gear ratio can be altered once more. To this end, preferably at least one second twisted internal groove is provided on the second sleeve, which engages a second twisted external thread of the cartridge. This second twisted external thread and the second sleeve do not appear in the referred application.

The second twisted external thread is preferably arranged opposite to the first twisted external thread. In this manner, the result is the advantageous effect that the back adjustment can be accelerated. The second twisted external thread is preferably arranged in an axially offset manner. This has the advantage that the second sleeve can be arranged co-axially on the cartridge.
The second sleeve is preferably axially non-relocatable and rotatably mounted.

Through the axial non-relocatability the second sleeve is forced into a rotating movement, since it cannot "escape" axially during a rotating movement or during an axial movement of the cartridge. The rotatable mounting of the second sleeve is advantageous since in this manner the second sleeve can be used as driving element for a seat part to be driven. Advantageously, for this reason the second sleeve has a connection facility for a seat part, in particular for a seat or a back. This, for example, may be a gearing as shown in figure 2 of the referred application.

Advantageously, the cartridge has an internal thread. To this end, again, reference is made to the referred application. The internal thread has the advantage that a finely tuned setting of the axial position of the cartridge becomes possible through a spindle drive.

Preferably, the adjusting device has an axially fixed drive, which is arranged in order to axially displace the cartridge. This drive is preferably a drive spindle, which engages the cartridge. At that the drive spindle advantageously engages into the internal thread of the cartridge. The drive spindle preferably has a hand wheel, a lever, a ratchet or an electric motor. A hand wheel, lever or ratchet has the advantage of a less costly manual adjustment. An electric motor has the advantage that adjustment can also take place automatically.

Preferably, the second sleeve is connectable to a part of a vehicle seat which is to be adjusted. Possible connecting facilities are a gearing, as shown in the referred application, or a driving pin or a lever is welded on.

A further aspect of the invention is a vehicle seat with an inventive adjusting device in one of the preferred embodiments described above. Preferably at that the adjusting device drives a seat, a back or a part of a back or a seat part, in order to implement the advantageous effects of the adjusting device for the vehicle seat.

Short Description of the Drawings Hereinafter an embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to the attached drawings, wherein said attached drawings show in Figure 1 a sectional view through parts of an adjusting device according to the invention; and in Figure 2 a schematic perspective view of the parts of the figure 1.

Description of a Preferred Embodiment In figure 1, different parts of an adjusting device in accordance with the invention are shown in a sectional view. The core of the adjusting device is formed by a cartridge 1, which has an internal thread 2, which is in mesh with a drive spindle 3.

By rotating the axially fixed drive spindle 3 the cartridge 1 can be displaced in the axial direction, i.e. in figure 1 to the right or to the left. In operating mode, a first sleeve 4 and a second sleeve 5 are arranged on the cartridge 1. The first sleeve 4 has a first internal twisted groove 6. It should be added that, whenever the internal twisted groove is mentioned in this application, it is thought of also several twisted internal grooves, as shown in figure 6. The same applies for the later mentioned external twisted groove on cartridge 1. The second sleeve 5 has an internal twisted groove 7.

For the following description of the invention, explicit reference is made to the DE 10 2006 004 968 Al, in particular to figures 1 and 2 and the corresponding descriptions of the figures, in which an axially fixed drive spindle, a clamped sleeve and further parts are shown, which are correspondingly used in the invention. So, the first sleeve 4, which is mounted torsion tight and axially non-relocatable, corresponds to the sleeve shown in the above mentioned application.

The second sleeve 5 has a second twisted internal thread 7 and is axially non-relocatable but rotatably arranged. The second sleeve 5 serves as a driving element for a back of a seat. To this end, the second sleeve 5 has a gearing ring 8 which, in figure 1, is illustrated merely schematically. Said gearing ring corresponds to the gearing in the above referred application. However, in contrast to the application referred to in the above, the cartridge in the invention is not the driving element, but rather the second sleeve 5, which is only axially non-relocatable but rotatable mounted.
In figure 2, the parts of the figure 1 are each only shown once, wherein identical reference numbers are used for identical parts, for which reason they are not described in detail once more. In figure 2, a first twisted external thread 9 and a second twisted external thread 10 on the cartridge 1 are shown. The first twisted external thread 9 is provided in order to engage with the first twisted internal groove 6 of the first sleeve 4, wherein the second twisted external thread 10 is provided in order to engage with the internal groove 7 of the second sleeve 5.

While in operation, a rotating of the spindle 3 causes an axial displacement of the cartridge 1, which is floatingly mounted in the sleeves 4 and 5 since the spindle 3 is axially secured. Taking account of the fact that the first sleeve 4 is mounted axially non-relocatable and torsion tight, the cartridge 1 will also be brought into a rotating movement through this axial displacement of the cartridge 1. Due to the impact both of the axial displacement of the cartridge 1 as well as the rotating movement of the cartridge 1 on the sleeve 5, the latter being axially non-relocatable arranged but rotatably mounted, said sleeve 5 is set into a twisting, which has double the rotation angle velocity as the twisting of the cartridge 1. In this instance it should be noted that the first twisted external thread 9 and the second twisted external thread 10 are in arranged contra-rotating, but with the same inclination on the cartridge 1.

The same inclination is provided in typical embodiments of the invention for the twisted external threads 9 and 10. However, it is also possible to provide different inclinations, in order to achieve differing gear ratios. In this instance, two different, but aligned inclinations may be provided, if especially large transmissions are desired.

A further possibility is to utilize the invention for a mutual back drive, as shown in figure 3 and figure 4 of the referred application, wherein in this case the drive spindle is formed to be continuous and on both sides an inventive adjusting device in one of the above mentioned preferred embodiments is used.
