Abstract

A seat, in particular a vehicle seat, having at least one seat part and a leg support movably arranged on the seat part, which is adjustable between an extended lengthening position and a retracted normal position. The leg support has at least a support form part movably arranged relative to the seat part, a form part covering arranged on the support form part and a tensioning device. The tensioning device is configured to keep the form part covering under tension on the support form part in each of two opposing direction of movements during a movement of the support form part relative to the seat part.

Claims (17)

1 . A vehicle seat having at least one seat part and a leg support movably arranged on the seat part, which is adjustable between an extended lengthening position and a retracted normal position,

characterized in that

the leg support comprises at least:

a support form part movably arranged relative to the seat part,

a form part covering arranged on the support form part and

a tensioning device,

wherein the tensioning device is configured to keep the form part covering under tension on the support form part in each of two opposing directions of movement during a movement of the support form part relative to the seat part.

2 . The seat according to claim 1 , characterized in that by moving the support form part relative to the seat part, the size of the bearing surface of the form part covering for a user sitting on the seat can be adjusted.

3 . The seat according to claim 1 , characterized in that the tensioning device comprises at least one tensioning element arranged on the support form part, which has a fastening point fixed to a seat part at a first end and a fastening point fixed to a covering at an opposite second end.

4 . The seat according to claim 3 , characterized in that the tensioning element is a strap or a belt.

5 . The seat according to any one of claim 3 , characterized in that the tensioning element is movably guided along a form part contour of the support form part, wherein the tensioning element is movable along with the movement of the support form part relative to the seat part in such a manner that the form part covering is held, or remains, at a constant tension.

6 . The seat according to claim 3 , characterized in that at least one guiding element is provided on the support form part, in which the tensioning element is at least partially guided.

7 . The seat according to claim 3 , characterized in that the tensioning element is arranged on the support form part in such a manner that it is deflected on the support form part at least once in an S-shaped manner.

8 . The seat according to claim 3 , characterized in that the tensioning element is arranged on the support form part in such a manner that it is deflected on the support form part multiple times in an S-shaped manner.

9 . The seat according to claim 3 , characterized in that the support form part has at least two deflection points, at which the tensioning element is deflectable or deflected.

10 . The seat according to claim 7 , characterized in that the support form part has a first support section, a second support section and a connecting section linking the support sections, wherein a first deflection point is formed at one end of the first support section and a second deflection point is formed in the region of the connecting section.

11 . The seat according to claim 9 , characterized in that the support form part has a third deflection point, which is arranged at one end of the second support section.
