Abstract

A vehicle seat has a backrest which is mounted displaceably in the vehicle by a sliding block guide. In order to enable a vehicle seat of compact configuration to be easily fitted, the backrest has a locking mechanism which secures the backrest releasably in the sliding block guide.

Claims (42)

1. A vehicle seat comprising:

a backrest, and

sliding block guides disposed in vehicle-fixed arrangement at sides of the backrest by which the backrest is mounted displaceably,

wherein the backrest has a locking mechanism which can be operated by a draw band running centrally of the backrest between laterally opposite sides of the backrest and configured to secure the backrest in the sliding block guides, and

wherein the draw band has a marking which can be hung in a mounting only if the backrest is currently locked.

2. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat is adjustable between a seating position and an angled rest position.

3. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sliding block guides have two slideways, wherein a respective one of the slideways is disposed on either side of the backrest, and wherein the locking mechanism has two bolts, a respective one of said bolts engaging in a respective one of said slideways in order to secure the backrest.

4. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the backrest has a transverse-running tube, which supports the bolts in an axially displaceable manner.

5. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the bolts are joined together by a toggle lever linkage having two hinge-connected levers.

6. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the draw band cooperates with the toggle lever linkage for axial displacement of the bolts.

7. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the draw band cooperates with a toggle lever linkage for axial displacement of the bolts.

8. A vehicle seat comprising:

a backrest, and

sliding block guides disposed in vehicle-fixed arrangement at sides of the backrest by which the backrest is mounted displaceably,

wherein the backrest has a locking mechanism which can be operated by a draw band running centrally of the backrest between laterally opposite sides of the backrest and configured to secure the backrest in the sliding block guides,

wherein the draw band has a marking for indicating correct locking of the backrest, and

wherein the marking is configured as a shackle, eyelet, or hook and can be hung in a mounting only if the backrest is correctly locked.

9. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the mounting is a pin.

10. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the sliding block guide has two slideways, wherein a respective one of the slideways is disposed on either side of the backrest, and wherein the locking mechanism has two bolts, a respective one of said bolts engaging in a respective one of said slideways in order to secure the backrest.

11. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the backrest has a transverse-running tube, which supports the bolts in an axially displaceable manner.

12. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the bolts are joined together by a toggle lever linkage having two hinge-connected levers.

13. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the bolts are joined together by a toggle lever linkage having two hinge-connected levers.

14. A vehicle seat comprising:

a backrest, and

sliding block guides disposed in vehicle-fixed arrangement at sides of the backrest by which the backrest is mounted displaceably,

wherein the backrest has a locking mechanism which can be operated by a draw band running centrally of the backrest between laterally opposite sides of the backrest and configured to secure the backrest in the sliding block guides,

wherein the draw band has a marking for indicating correct locking of the backrest,

wherein the sliding block guides have two slideways,

wherein a respective one of the slideways is disposed on either side of the backrest,

wherein the locking mechanism has two bolts, a respective one of said bolts engaging in a respective one of said slideways in order to secure the backrest,

wherein the backrest has a transverse-running tube, which supports the bolts in an axially displaceable manner, and

wherein the bolts are joined together by a toggle lever linkage having two hinge-connected levers.

15. A vehicle seat comprising:

a backrest, and

sliding block guides disposed in vehicle-fixed arrangement at sides of the backrest by which the backrest is mounted displaceably,

wherein the backrest has a locking mechanism which can be operated by a draw band running centrally of the backrest between laterally opposite sides of the backrest and configured to secure the backrest in the sliding block guides,

wherein the draw band has a marking for indicating correct locking of the backrest,

wherein the sliding block guides have two slideways,

wherein a respective one of the slideways is disposed on either side of the backrest,

wherein the locking mechanism has two bolts, a respective one of said bolts engaging in a respective one of said slideways in order to secure the backrest,

wherein the backrest has a transverse-running tube, which supports the bolts in an axially displaceable manner, and

wherein the draw band cooperates with a toggle lever linkage for axial displacement of the bolts.
