And, at least one latching element is arranged on at least one of a carrier underside and/or a lateral carrier side. A backrest and a method for mounting the backrest is also provided.
1 . A backrest for a vehicle seat, comprising:
a backrest frame with a frame top side and a frame underside and two lateral frame sides which each connect together the frame top side and frame underside, and
a carrier structure which forms a back wall of the backrest and can be releasably connected to the backrest frame, wherein the carrier structure comprises at least one carrier element,
wherein the carrier element has at least a carrier underside, a carrier top side and two lateral carrier sides, wherein on the carrier element,
at least one positioning element is arranged on the carrier top side and has at least one opening for receiving a headrest holder, and
at least one latching element is arranged on at least one of the following carrier sides of the carrier underside and one of the lateral carrier sides,
wherein via the positioning element, the carrier structure is orientable on the frame top side and positionable relative to the backrest frame and can then be releasably connected by the latching element to the backrest frame at one of the following carrier sides of the frame underside and one of the lateral frame sides,
wherein the at least one latching element is configured as a hook with a latching recess to engage the backrest frame.
2 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure can be placed or superficially laid onto the frame top side and then pivoted in the direction of the backrest frame and releasably fixed to the backrest frame by the latching element.
3 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning element and the latching element protrude perpendicularly from a plane defined by the carrier element.
4 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning element is formed as a disc and/or block.
5 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning element has an upper contact face and a lower contact face.
6 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein at least the carrier element is made of plastic.
7 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning element and/or the latching element are/is formed integrally with the carrier element.
8 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein in an assembled state of the backrest frame and the carrier structure, the positioning element lies on or against the frame top side and the latching element is in a latching engagement with at least one of the following frame sides of the frame underside and one of the lateral frame sides.
9 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the frame top side comprises at least one sliding sleeve or push sleeve for receiving a rod end of the headrest holder.
10 . The backrest according to claim 9 , wherein the positioning element is orientable relative to the backrest frame by its opening and then is pushable or pushed onto the sliding sleeve or push sleeve and, on this sliding sleeve or push sleeve, is axially positionable or positioned relative to the backrest frame.
11 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the backrest frame and the carrier structure are releasably connected together by a push-latch connection.
12 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein a latching lug or a latching hook of the carrier structure engages by latching in a counter-receiver or counter-web of the backrest frame.
13 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning element is vertically distal from an upper edge portion of the carrier element.
14 . The backrest according to claim 1 , wherein the latching element engages a lower bar extending between two sides of the bracket frame.
15 . The backrest according to claim 14 , wherein the latching element engages the lower bar via a spring force.
16 . The backrest according to claim 1 , comprising a first latching element and a second latching element, wherein the first latching element comprises a latching recess between the carrier element and an upwardly extending hook of the first latching element, and the second latching element comprises a latching recess between the carrier element and an upwardly extending hook of the second latching element.
17 . A method for mounting a backrest, wherein
in a first step, a backrest frame, a carrier element, a positioning element arranged on the carrier element and a latching element, configured as a hook with a receiving channel, arranged on the carrier element are provided,
in a second step, the positioning element of the carrier element is oriented at and/or on a frame top side of the backrest frame until an opening of the positioning element is arranged opposite a passage opening provided in the frame top side and/or a sliding sleeve or push sleeve for a headrest holder,
in a third step, the positioning element is placed on the frame top side of the backrest frame and/or pressed onto the sliding sleeve or push sleeve, and
in a fourth step, the carrier element is pivoted relative to the backrest frame until the latching element comes into latching engagement with a frame underside and/or one of a number of lateral frame sides of the backrest frame.
