  • In the figures:
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a perspective illustration of a vehicle seat,
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows the position of the pivot axis of the backrest in relation to the H-point of the seat occupant.
  • FIGS. 3-5 schematically show a form- and/or force-fit-means as part of the side part of the seat part.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 schematically show a recliner.
  • FIG. 8 schematically shows a spring element between the seat part and the backrest.
    •
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a perspective illustration of a vehicle seat 1. The vehicle seat 1 is a conventional vehicle seat and comprises at least a seat part 2 and a backrest 3. Furthermore, the vehicle seat 1 has a conventional longitudinal adjustment device 4, by means of which the vehicle seat 1 is preferably coupled to a bodywork structure of a vehicle (not illustrated).
  • The seat part 2 and the backrest 3 are coupled in a pivotable manner by means of an inclination adjusting apparatus 5, wherein a vehicle user can actuate the inclination adjusting apparatus 5, for example by means of an adjusting lever 6 or the like. By means of the adjusting lever 6, the inclination adjusting apparatus 5 can be actuated such that it is possible to set a backrest inclination of the vehicle seat 1. A person skilled in the art will understand that the adjustment of the backrest can also take place in a motorized manner. Furthermore, the inclination adjusting apparatus can operate continuously or discontinuously.
  • FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of the vehicle seat according to the present invention, which in the present case has a seat part 2 and a backrest 3 which is mounted on the seat part in a pivotable manner about the pivot axis 28. In the vehicle seat according to the invention there sits an occupant whose hip joint is located at what is known as the H-point. According to the invention, the pivot axis of the backrest is now provided below this H-point, and in the present case 100.6 mm below the H-point. Preferably, the pivot axis 28 is located behind the H-point, in the present case 77.6 mm behind the H-point, with respect to the direction of forward travel of the vehicle. Due to this arrangement of the pivot axis 28 relative to the H-point of the seat occupant, the vehicle seat according to the invention is much more ergonomic than vehicle seats according to the prior art. Furthermore, the risk of injury, in particular in the event of a rear-end impact, is reduced, because for example the pelvis of the seat occupant sinks more deeply into the seat in the event of a rear-end impact and/or the backrest 3 deforms less. Alternatively or in addition, the distance between the pivot axis 28 of the backrest and the lock of the inclination adjuster of the back rest is as large as possible. Preferably, this distance is at least 50, preferably at least 60, particularly preferably at least 80 and very particularly preferably at feast 90 mm. Preferably, the distance is at most 180 mm, preferably at most 160 mm.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the vehicle seat according to the invention, in the present case, a toothing 16 is provided, preferably integrally, in the peripheral region 30 of the side part 12 of the structure of the seat part 2, said toothing 16 being part of a recliner, by way of which the inclination of the backrest 3 is adjusted. Furthermore, it can be seen in the present case that the locking element 9 of the backrest is arranged as far as possible away from the pivot point 28 of the backrest 3. As a result, the forces to be absorbed by the recliner are reduced. In the left-hand part of FIG. 3, the backrest is illustrated in the easy-entry position. The central part of FIG. 3 shows the backrest in its use position and, in the right-hand part, a position of the backrest inclined to the rear is illustrated. The backrest can be locked in a releasable manner in any desired position in relation to the seat part by means of the lock 9. In the present case, the toothing is designed as a circle segment, wherein the center of the circle is identical with the pivot point 28. Here, the toothing 16 and the side plate 12 are designed as two parts which are connected together. However, it is also possible to design the the toothing 16 and the side plate 12 as one single part. The locking element is connected to the backrest of the vehicle seat and pivots together with the backrest 3 around the pivot point 28.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the backrest 3 is mounted to the seat part by spring means 31. In the present case the spring means 31 and the side plate 12 of the seat part 2 are made from one single piece, for example metal or plastic, particularly fiber reinforced plastic. The fitting of the backrest 3 on the seat part 2 can be carried out as follows: Prior to this fitting, the backrest is brought in its easy-entry position and then fixed to the spring element 31, which is, in this position at least essentially without tension. The backrest is then pivoted, here in the clockwise direction about the pivot axis 28 and the spring element 31 is tensioned at the same time. At the same time or beforehand, the toothing 22, which is, in the present case, provided in a resilient manner and is preferably provided integrally with the side part 12 of the seat part 2, is tensioned here by a movement in the anticlockwise direction and in the process the locking element 9, which is arranged at the end of the spring element 31, is pushed over the toothing 22. Due to the resilient action of the toothing 22, the latter is always pressed against the locking element 9, and so noise development is at least reduced. The tensioned spring element 81, which, preferably, is likewise provided integrally with the side part of the seat part, supports the movement of the backrest from its easy-entry position into its use position due to its energy storage during tensioning. In order to adjust the backrest into a new position, the locking element 9 is released, for example by rotating the locking element 9, this being illustrated in the lower right-hand part of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the vehicle seat according to the invention as per FIG. 4. In the present case, the side part 12 of the seat part 2 has a cam 32 which presses the toothing 22 against a locking element 3. In order to release the lock, the cam 32 is rotated in the anticlockwise direction, as a result of which the toothing 22, which is again provided in a resilient manner on the side part of the seat part, likewise moves in the anticlockwise direction and as a result disengages from the locking means 9, and so the backrest 3 can be adjusted in relation to the seat part 2. In the present case, the toothing is tensioned away from the locking means 9.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show a further embodiment of a recliner of the vehicle seat according to the invention. In the present case, there is again provided a toothing 16, which is preferably provided integrally with the side part of the seat part 2. In order to lock the backrest in relation to the seat part, there is provided a latching pawl 34, which has on the inside a toothing corresponding to the toothing 16. In order to prevent the latching pawl 34 from detaching from the toothing 16, the recliner has a locking element 9 which pulls the latching pawl 34 in the direction of the toothing 18 and is arranged in a pivotable manner on the side part of the seat part. In the locked state, latching pawl 34 loads against inside of toothing plate 16. This makes a constrained loop of the parts 16, 34, 9. This removes all looseness/clearances and makes a structurally sound system. A balanced system of tension and compression with no bending moments is provided. The locking element 9 is driven by a drive means 33. In FIG. 8, the recliner is illustrated in its locked state. Preferably, the latching pawl comprises at its backside 34.1, i.e. opposite from the toothed side a curved surface with a cam 34.2 which is preferably provided opposite from the rotation axis of the latching pawl. A contact element 9.1, for example a rotating contact element, moves along the backside 34.1 of the latching pawl 34. As soon as this contact element reaches the cam, the latching pawl is pushed towards the toothing 16. In order to be able to adjust the inclination of the backrest in relation to the seat part, this locking element 9 has to be released, as is illustrated in FIG. 7. For this purpose, the locking element 9 is rotated in the anticlockwise direction in a manner driven by the rotatably provided drive element 33 and in the process runs along the outer contour of the latching pawl 34, in the process rotating the latter, likewise in the anticlockwise direction, away from the toothing 16. During this movement, the contact element touches the opening means 34.2, here a nose, and thereby opens latching pawl 34. Thus, the lock between the side part 2 and the backrest 3 is released and the inclination of the latter can be moved into a new desired position in which it is then locked again, in that the locking element 9 is rotated in the clockwise direction and as a result pulls the latching pawl 34 into the toothing plate 16.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates yet another embodiment of the vehicle seat according to the invention. This seat again has a seat part and a backrest, which is provided in a pivotable manner on the seat part. Arranged between the seat part and the backrest is a spring element 31, in the present case a spiral spring. According to the invention, the centre-point 35 of this spiral spring is not arranged concentrically with the pivot axis 28 of the backrest. This results in particular in space savings.
