a second adapter part, wherein:

the housing is arranged in the transverse direction between the first adapter part and the second adapter part; and

the adapter arrangement braces the housing in a transverse direction and against motion in a transverse direction.

10. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the adapter arrangement is welded to the structural component.

11. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the structural component is a structure of a backrest of the vehicle seat.

12. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the structural component is a seat base structure of the vehicle seat.

13. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the other component is a mating element secured to a vehicle body.

14. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein at least one adapter part of the adapter arrangement is a bent metal sheet, wherein the first adapter part and the second adapter part do not form a part of the housing of the locking unit.

15. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the adapter arrangement is screwed together with the locking unit, the adapter arrangement being a structure that is separate from the housing of the locking unit.

16. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the two adapter parts are screwed to a clasp, the first adapter part and the second adapter part defining a housing receiving space, at least a portion of the housing being arranged in the housing receiving space, the housing comprising a first housing part and a second housing part, the first housing part comprising a first housing outer surface, the second housing part comprising a second housing part outer surface, the first housing outer surface being located opposite one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part, the second housing outer surface being located opposite another one of the first adapter part and the second adapter.

17. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 16 , wherein:

in a first region of the second adapter part at least one through hole is provided for a screw and in a first section of the first adapter part at least one thread is provided opposite the through hole in the transverse direction with the screw received therein;

the first housing outer surface is adjacent to at least a portion of one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part;

the second housing outer surface is located adjacent to at least a portion of another one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part; and

the at least one screw is led through a bearing bolt of the locking unit fashioned as a hollow bolt.

18. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the adapter arrangement has an opening through which a mating element interacts with a latch of the locking device, the first housing outer surface engaging the portion of the one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part, the second housing outer surface engaging the portion of the another one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part, the first housing part and the second housing part defining a housing interior space, wherein at least a portion of a latch is arranged in the housing interior space.

19. An adapter arrangement for a vehicle seat for connecting a locking unit to a structural component of the vehicle seat, wherein the locking unit has a housing and the adapter arrangement braces the housing in two opposite directions, the adapter arrangement comprising:

a first adapter part; and

a second adapter part, the housing being arranged in the transverse direction between the first adapter part and the second adapter part, the housing comprising a first housing part and a second housing part, the first housing part being located opposite the second housing part in the transverse direction, one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part being located adjacent to one of the first housing part and the second housing part, another one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part being located adjacent to another one of the first housing part and the second housing part, wherein the adapter arrangement braces the housing in a transverse direction and against motion in a transverse direction.

20. The adapter arrangement as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part is in direct contact with the one of the first housing part and the second housing part, the another one of the first adapter part and the second adapter part being in direct contact with the another one of the first housing part and the second housing part.
