Abstract

A vehicle seat having a vehicle seat underbody, comprising: a base plate; a side horizontal suspension; a rolling suspension comprising a rod element rotatably mounted with respect to the side horizontal suspension; a scissors-type frame having a first swing and a second swing, wherein the first swing is connected by a first slide element to the rod element and the second swing is connected by a second slide element to the rod element and the first swing is connected to the first slide element and the second swing is connected to the second slide element; a first element carrier; a lengthwise horizontal suspension; and a first spring element, which is connected on the one hand to the first element carrier and on the other hand to the base plate or one of the swings.

Claims (28)

1. A vehicle seat having a vehicle seat underbody, comprising:

a base plate;

a side horizontal suspension connected to the base plate for cushioning movements of the vehicle seat in a vehicle seat width direction;

a rolling suspension for cushioning rolling movements of the vehicle seat comprising a rod element rotatably mounted with respect to the side horizontal suspension;

a scissors link frame having a first swing, comprising a first swing arm and a second swing arm, and a second swing, comprising a third swing arm and a fourth swing arm, wherein the first swing is connected by means of a first displacement element in a movable manner to the rod element and the second swing is connected by means of a second displacement element in a movable manner to the rod element and the first swing is connected rotatably about a first axis of rotation to a first slide element and the second swing is connected rotatably about a second axis of rotation to a second slide element; and

a first element carrier, wherein the first carrier element joins together the first swing arm and the third swing arm, and wherein the first carrier element joins together the second swing arm and the fourth swing arm.

2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the vehicle seat underbody comprises a lengthwise horizontal suspension for cushioning movements of the vehicle seat in a vehicle seat lengthwise direction.

3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the vehicle seat underbody comprises a first spring element, which is connected to the first element carrier and to the base plate or the first swing or the second swing for cushioning movements of the vehicle seat during pitching movements and in a vehicle seat height direction.

4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the vehicle seat underbody comprises a first damping element, which is connected to the first element carrier and to the first swing or the second swing.

5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the vehicle seat underbody comprises a second element carrier, which is rigidly connected to the base plate and the first spring element is connected by means of the second element carrier to the base plate, with the second element carrier extending in the vehicle seat width direction.

6. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first displacement element is configured as the first slide element and the second displacement element as the second slide element, which are connected in sliding manner to the rod element and are preferably made of plastic; or the first displacement element is configured as a first roller element and the second displacement element as a second roller element, which are connected in a rolling manner to the rod element.

7. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the rod element is configured as a profiled shaft, which has cylindrical projections at its ends, which are rotatably connected to the side horizontal suspension, while the rod element is preferably configured as a square profile.

8. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein a lengthwise horizontal suspension is connected by means of loose bearings to the first swing and the second swing.

9. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first element carrier is partly arranged between the first swing arm and the third swing arm and between the second swing arm and the fourth swing arm.

10. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first connecting rod element is provided, which is rotatably connected to the rod element about a third axis of rotation and to the second swing about a fourth axis of rotation.

11. The vehicle seat according to claim 10 ,

wherein a first spacing of the third axis of rotation from the fourth axis of rotation is equal to a first spacing of the second axis of rotation from the fourth axis of rotation and equal to a third spacing of the fourth axis of rotation from a center axis of the third swing arm.

12. The vehicle seat according to claim 10 ,

wherein the first connecting rod element is L-shaped.
