Longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat with a memory device
View Patent ↗In a longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat with a freely pivotable backrest which can be folded forward and with a memory device, the memory device has a stop rail with latching openings, and a locking element with a slider and pall connected pivotably thereto and a ramp which is arranged on the slider and has an upper region, with which a scanner of the memory device interacts, wherein the scanner is connected to a transmission arrangement for locking the backrest in an entry position, and the pall is prestressed in the locking direction by a spring.
1. A longitudinally adjustable vehicle seat comprising:
a freely pivotable backrest which is able to be folded forward;
a memory device;
at least one first seat rail configured to be fixed to a vehicle structure;
a second seat rail guided in said first seat rail and connected to a portion of the vehicle seat; and
a longitudinal adjuster with a releasable locking device for locking the two seat rails,
wherein the vehicle seat is able to adopt an entry position by folding forward the backrest and unlocking the locking device,
wherein said memory device is configured to store the position of the second seat rail fixed to the vehicle seat relative to the first seat rail fixed to the vehicle structure,
the memory device having a stop rail with latching openings and a locking element with a slider and a locking pawl pivotably connected to the slider,
wherein a transmission arrangement is provided which cooperates with a comfort locking device of the backrest of the vehicle seat in an entry position,
wherein the slider has a ramp with an upper region with which a scanner of the memory device cooperates,
wherein the scanner is connected to the transmission arrangement,
wherein the locking pawl is pretensioned in the locking direction with a spring,
wherein the locking pawl is pivotably attached to the slider such that the locking pawl is pivotable about a vertical pivot axis relative to the slider and, for storing the memory position, cooperates with latching openings laterally arranged on the stop rail,
wherein the locking element has a stop protruding in the vertical direction, wherein the stop extends along the vertical pivot axis of the locking pawl.
2. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ramp is at an angle relative to the first seat rail of less than 45°, in particular a maximum of 30°, and the upper region of the ramp extends parallel to the first seat rail.
3. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein folding forward the backrest and locking the backrest in the folded-forward position unlocks the locking device, after a forward displacement movement of the vehicle seat.
4. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the backrest is locked in the folded-forward position whilst at least one of the scanner slides down over the ramp and/or when the scanner is leaving the ramp.
5. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the unlocking of the backrest takes place in the folded-forward position after the scanner has reached the ramp and whilst at least one of the scanner slides up along the ramp and/or when the scanner has reached the upper region of the ramp.
6. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking element is unlocked while the vehicle seat is being longitudinally adjusted and is entrained by stops, wherein the scanner remains in abutment against the upper region of the ramp while the vehicle seat is being longitudinally adjusted.
7. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the scanner provides a direct 1:1 transmission of pressure to the locking device of the backrest in the entry position.
