VEHICLE SEAT WITH AN AIRBAG DEVICE
A vehicle seat is provided with an airbag device that has an airbag and a gas generator. A seat covering of the vehicle seat has a tear seam, which is connected to a tear section of a coupling element. In addition to the tear section, the coupling element has an assembly section that is connected to the airbag device or the vehicle seat. The tear section and assembly section of the coupling element are detachably connected to each other or a hinge is provided between the tear section and the assembly section.

5 . The vehicle seat according to claim 3 , wherein the vehicle seat has a recess that at least partially defines the hinge.
6 . The vehicle seat according to claim 3 , wherein the integrated airbag device has an airbag device housing that at least partially defines the hinge.
7 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the assembly section facing away from the hinge is arranged between the integrated airbag device and a seat frame.
8 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling element is produced at least partially from a metal.
9 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling element is produced at least partially from a plastic.
10 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the tear section of the coupling element is configured to rotate about the hinge.
11 . The vehicle seat according to claim 10 , wherein the tear section of the coupling element is configured to rotate about the hinge about a defined rotation axis.
12 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the tear section of the coupling element has a loop.
13 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the assembly section of the coupling element has a loop.
14 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , further comprising a first inflation space and a second inflation space in the airbag and that are separated by a dividing seam.
15 . The vehicle seat according to claim 14 , wherein the dividing seam is configured to only tear after at least partial inflation of the first inflation space.
16 . The vehicle seat according to claim 14 , wherein a tensile force is exerted on the tear seam by the coupling element upon inflation of the first inflation space.
