Abstract

A vehicle seat may have a first seat component that may be a backrest lower portion, a second seat component which can be pivoted about a pivot axis relative to the first seat component, in particular a backrest upper portion. The second seat component may have a slotted guiding member, a journal which is movably guided in the slotted guiding member of the second seat component, and an actuator for displacing the journal within the slotted guiding member. The first seat component may have a slotted support member in which the journal is movably guided, where the slotted guiding member and the slotted support member may intersect with each other in an intersection region.

Claims (16)

1 - 10 . (canceled)

11 . A motor vehicle seat, comprising:

a) a first seat component,

b) a second seat component which can be pivoted about a pivot axis relative to the first seat component, the second seat component having a slotted guiding member,

c) a journal which is movably guided in the slotted guiding member of the second seat component, and

d) an actuator for displacing the journal within the slotted guiding member, wherein the first seat component has a slotted support member in which the journal is movably guided, wherein the slotted guiding member and the slotted support member intersect with each other in an intersection region.

12 . The motor vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein by displacing the journal within the slotted guiding member, the intersection region can be displaced along the slotted guiding member, whereby a relative angular position between the first seat component and the second seat component can be adjusted.

13 . The motor vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein the slotted guiding member and the slotted support member are arranged eccentrically relative above the pivot axis.

14 . The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein a slotted guiding member, at least one slotted support member and a journal are arranged in each case at each of two sides of the second seat component.

15 . The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein the first seat component and the second seat component overlap each other in an overlapping region, wherein the slotted guiding member and the slotted support member are arranged in the overlapping region.

16 . The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein the journal and the slotted guiding member in at least one pivot direction form an end stop for the pivot movement of the second seat component relative to the first seat component about the pivot axis.

17 . The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein the journal and the slotted support member in at least one pivot direction form an end stop for the pivot movement of the second seat component relative to the first seat component about the pivot axis.

18 . The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein the vehicle seat is an integrated-belt seat.

19 . The vehicle seat according to claim 18 , wherein a belt outlet location is integrated in the second seat component.

20 . The vehicle seat according to claim 19 , wherein the first seat component has a first backrest side portion and a second backrest side portion, wherein the second backrest side portion in a transverse direction is arranged closer to the belt outlet location than the first backrest side portion, and the second backrest side portion has a first profile metal sheet and a second profile metal sheet which are connected to form a hollow profile, wherein both the first profile metal sheet and the second profile metal sheet in each case have a slotted support member which receive a common journal.

21 . The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein the first seat component comprises a backrest lower portion of a backrest and the second seat component comprises a backrest upper portion.
