Definitions

• the invention relates to a vehicle seat, in particular a rear seat or a rear seat for a motor vehicle, with a backrest and a seat part, wherein the backrest can be transferred from a use position to a stowed position and thereby changes at least the shape of the backrest.
• Such vehicle seat are known from the prior art, for example US 6,199,951, US 6,123,380, DE 103 51 157 B3, WO 2004/043730 A2 and WO 2004/043207 A2.
• the vehicle seats described there are either constructed comparatively complicated or do not provide sufficient comfort.
• a vehicle seat in particular a rear seat or a rear bench seat for a motor vehicle, with a backrest and a seat part, wherein the backrest can be transferred from a use position to a stowed position and at least the shape of the backrest changes and / or the seat part and / or. or the backrest has a plurality of parallel juxtaposed, extending over substantially the entire length of the seat part or the backrest means whose shape changes reversibly when transferring the backrest of the use in the stowed position.
• the vehicle seat according to the invention provides the seat occupant in the position of use good comfort. When folding the backrest onto the seat part, it folds into a flat package.
• the vehicle seat according to the invention is simple and inexpensive to produce.
• a vehicle seat according to the invention is any vehicle seat anywhere in the vehicle.
• One or more persons can be accommodated on the vehicle seat, so that it can also be a bank, which may also have a split backrest.
• the vehicle seat is a rear seat.
• the vehicle seat has a backrest and a seat part, wherein the backrest can be moved from a use position to a stowed position and at least changes the shape of the backrest.
• the backrest and / or the seat part In the stowed position, the backrest and / or the seat part is flat, so that the vehicle seat can be folded into a flat package.
• the seat part and / or the backrest on a curved shape which is preferably adapted to the body of the seat occupant and increases the seating comfort.
• the means are arranged side by side over the width of the backrest or the seat part. Their length is chosen so that they extend over substantially the entire length of the backrest or over the entire length of the seat part.
• these means are strips, more preferably of a semi-rigid material.
• Semi-rigid in the sense of the invention means that the strips can be bent with average human forces.
• the strips can be made of plastic, metal or wood or a combination of these materials, with a material that does not crack when breaking, is preferred.
• strips a plurality are arranged side by side, wherein the width and number of which is dimensioned such that substantially the entire width of the backrest or the seat part is covered with strips.
• the strips are arranged substantially parallel to each other. The higher the number of stripes the higher the comfort.
• the strips are mounted on the erfindungsg vehicle seat and / or its reference, that their curvature indivi is adjustable. In particular, the seat comfort is increased by this embodiment of the invention.
• the vehicle seat has an axis about which the backrest is rotatably arranged and to which the means are arranged vertically.
• This axis is usually aligned transversely to the direction of travel of the vehicle.
• the means of the shape change when transferring the backrest from the use to the stowed position are preferably arranged vertically and next to each other along this axis.
• the vehicle seat has a reference.
• the semi-rigid strips are particularly preferably arranged in each case in a pocket of the seat cover. As a result, their location is determined within the vehicle seat.
• the strips are mounted at least partially displaceable within the pockets.
• the strips are connected with their pointing in the direction of the axis of rotation of the backrest fixed to the vehicle seat.
• the strips are movably connected with their pointing away from the axis of rotation of the backrest end to the vehicle seat.
• the vehicle seat has means, preferably bands, particularly preferably steel bands, which are arranged displaceably on the backrest, preferably embedded in it. When transferring the backrest from the storage to the use position and vice versa, these bands move and cause the change in shape of the backrest and / or the seat part.
• the bands can be made of plastic, metal or wood or a combination of these materials, with a material that does not splinter when breaking, is preferred.
• the bands are made of steel.
• the bands are arranged substantially congruent to the strips.
• the bands are below the strips.
• the bands are dimensioned in their length and / or arranged in the vehicle seat that they stand out in the stowed position with its one end of the backrest or the seat part. Particular preference pushes this end when transferring the backrest of the storage in the use position at least partially in the backrest or the seat part inside. This movement causes the curvature of the stripes.
• the bands again move out of the backrest or the seat part, so that the curvature of the backrest or the seat part disappears.
• this end of the bands is supported in the position of use on the backrest or the seat part, so that their curved shape is maintained even under load, for example by a seat occupant.
• means are arranged between the means, for example the strip, and the means, for example the bands, such that one end thereof is in each case connected to a means, for example the strip, and the other end to a means (8), for example the band connected, preferably riveted.
• a means for example the strip
• a means for example the band connected, preferably riveted.
• the means are semi-elastic strips. These strips can be made of plastic, metal or wood or a combination of these materials, with a material that does not break when breaking, is preferred.
• these means bend when transferring stowed position in the use position, whereby strips bulge outwardly below the cover and so cause the curvature of the backrest and the seat part reversible.
• Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the vehicle seat according to the invention.
• Figure 3 shows the strips in the pockets.
• the vehicle seat 1 shown in Figure 1 consists of a backrest 2 and a seat part 3.
• the backrest 2 is rotatably attached to the seat part 3 by means of a protruding tab 4 about a staggered axis 5 and can from its upright position of use ( Figures 1, 3) be folded into a horizontal stowed position ( Figure 2).
• a multiplicity of semi-rigid strips 6 eg made of plastic, for example polypropylene
• the length of the strips corresponds substantially to the length L of the backrest.
• the strips 6 may have a different width, but preferably have the same width.
• substantially congruent with the strips 6, rigid and downward from the backrest 2 outstanding steel bands 8 slidably inserted along its longitudinal extent, which are connected via a number of strip pieces 9 of a semi-rigid material with the respective associated strips 6 ,
• the strip pieces 9 extend, spaced from each other in the longitudinal extent of the respective steel strip 8, between the strips 6 and the steel strips 8 and are fastened with their pointing in the direction of the axis 5 end of the steel strip 8 and with its opposite end to the strip 6, in particular riveted.
• the axis 5 facing the end of each strip 6 is fixedly connected to the lower portion of the backrest 2, while the opposite ends of the strip 6 via a textile tape 10 is in communication with the upper end of the backrest 2.
• FIG. 4 shows a multiplicity of strips 6 arranged side by side and pocket-like in the seat cover 7.
• the invention can also be used for a reversible curvature of the seat part 3.
