Abstract

A longitudinal adjustment device for a vehicle seat may have at least one rail arrangement with two rail pairs. The respective rail pair has a first rail element and a second rail element which are movable relative to one another. The longitudinal adjustment device may also have a motor unit, and a motor bracket with a motor mounting portion for the motor unit and at least one shaft mounting portion for at least one shaft which emanates from the motor unit. A at least one decoupling element may be provided between the motor bracket and the motor unit, between the motor bracket and the shaft, and/or between the motor bracket and a movable rail element.

Claims (19)

1 . A longitudinal adjustment device for a vehicle seat, comprising:

a rail arrangement with two rail pairs, wherein the respective rail pair has a first rail element and a second rail element which are movable relative to one another,

a motor unit, and

a motor bracket with a motor mounting portion for the motor unit and at least one shaft mounting portion for at least one shaft which emanates from the motor unit and has a sheathing tube,

wherein at least one decoupling element is provided in each case between the motor bracket and the motor unit, between the motor bracket and the sheathing tube, and/or between the motor bracket and a movable rail element.

2 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor bracket and the motor unit are decoupled from one another by means of the at least one decoupling element.

3 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor bracket and the sheathing tube are decoupled from one another by means of the at least one decoupling element.

4 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor bracket and the movable rail element are decoupled from one another by means of the at least one decoupling element.

5 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one decoupling element is configured at least in portions as a flexible bearing element.

6 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one decoupling element has at least one guiding portion and one decoupling portion.

7 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 6 , wherein the guiding portion is configured as a guide tube.

8 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 6 , wherein the decoupling portion is configured as a flexible flange.

9 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 8 , wherein the flexible flange is configured as an edge which projects at a right angle from the guiding portion, and is configured both for connection and for acoustic decoupling.

10 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 6 , wherein at least the decoupling portion is formed from an elastic material.

11 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the decoupling elements is configured as a motor decoupling element, at least one of the decoupling elements is configured as a shaft decoupling element, and/or at least one of the decoupling elements is configured as a rail decoupling element.

12 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 11 , wherein the motor decoupling element/elements, the shaft decoupling element/elements and the rail decoupling element/elements are decoupled from one another.

13 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the respective decoupling element is configured as a separate component.

14 . The longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor bracket is configured as a single-part bracket.

15 . A vehicle seat with the longitudinal adjustment device according to claim 1 .
