Abstract

The invention relates to a utility vehicle seat with a seat part, with a backrest part and with a seat substructure for arrangement on a bodywork part of a utility vehicle. The seat substructure including a rotation adjustment device having a roller body bearing unit for rotating at least the seat part about a vertical axis, a longitudinal adjustment device and a transverse adjustment device. The rotation adjustment apparatus is arranged between two longitudinal rail units or transverse rail units, in such a way that a vertical extension of the rotation adjustment apparatus amounts to a maximum of 150% or 100% of a vertical extension of the longitudinal rail units or the transverse rail units.

Claims (14)

1. A utility vehicle seat, comprising:

a seat part, with a backrest part and with a seat substructure for arrangement on a bodywork part of a utility vehicle, in which the seat substructure comprises a rotation adjustment device comprising a roller body bearing unit for rotating at least the seat part about a vertical axis in rotation adjustment directions, a longitudinal adjustment device with two longitudinal rail units arranged at a distance from each other for adjustment at least of the seat part in longitudinal adjustment directions and a transverse adjustment device with two transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other for adjustment at least of the seat part in transverse adjustment directions, wherein the rotation adjustment device is arranged between the two longitudinal rail units arranged at a distance from each other or the transverse rail units, in such a way that a vertical extension of the rotation adjustment device amounts to a maximum of 150% to 100% of a vertical extension of the longitudinal rail units or the transverse rail units, wherein a vertical extension of a structural space provided for the rotation adjustment device or for the roller body bearing unit is limited by a lower imaginary horizontal plane defined by undersides of the longitudinal rail units arranged at a distance from each other and by an upper imaginary horizontal plane defined by top sides of the longitudinal rail units arranged at a distance from each other.

2. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the roller body bearing unit is arranged between the two longitudinal rail units arranged at a distance from each other or the two transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other, in such a way that a vertical extension of the roller body bearing unit amounts to a maximum of 120% or 100% of the vertical extension of the longitudinal rail units or the transverse rail units.

3. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the roller body bearing unit is defined by at least one roller body rim part.

4. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 3 , wherein the roller body bearing unit is defined by two roller body rim parts.

5. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the vertical extension of the structural space provided for the rotation adjustment device or for the roller body bearing unit is limited by a lower imaginary horizontal plane defined by undersides of the transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other and by an upper imaginary horizontal plane defined by top sides of the transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other.

6. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 5 , wherein the vertical extension of the structural space provided for the rotational adjustment device between the longitudinal rail units or the transverse rail units amounts to less than 45 mm.

7. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 6 , wherein the vertical extension of the structural space provided for the rotational adjustment device amounts to less than 40 mm.

8. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a roller body rim part of the roller body bearing unit is arranged in a structural space between the two longitudinal rail units or transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other.

9. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 8 , wherein two or more roller body rim parts of the roller body bearing unit are arranged in the structural space between the two longitudinal rail units or transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other.

10. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a circular roller body track is arranged in a structural space between the two longitudinal rail units or transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other in order to mount roller bodies of the roller body bearing unit.

11. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 10 , wherein two or more circular roller body tracks are arranged in the structural space between the two longitudinal rail units or transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other in order to mount the roller bodies of the roller body bearing unit.

12. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a locking device for locking a rotational movement of the rotation adjustment device is arranged radially on the inside of at least one roller body rim part of the roller body bearing unit with respect to the vertical axis.

13. The utility vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation adjustment device is arranged above the two longitudinal rail units arranged at a distance from each other and between the two transverse rail units arranged at a distance from each other.
