Abstract

The invention relates to a fitting for a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle seat, comprises a first fitting part and a second fitting part that can be rotated with respect to each other, a clip ring that is fixed to the first fitting part for holding both fitting parts axially together by an outer ring section and engaging the second fitting part by an inner annular section, and stops that define the limits of the relative rotation of both fitting parts and that comprise at least one limiting stop embodied as a clip ring and at least one locking stop joined to the second fitting part such that the limiting stop protrudes outwards from outside of the annular section of the clip ring, and the limiting stop is provided on a structural part secured to the second fitting part.

Claims (23)

1. A fitting for a motor vehicle seat, comprising a first fitting part and a second fitting part rotatable relative to each other, a clasping ring that, to axially hold the two fitting parts together, is fastened to the first fitting part by an outer ring section and embraces the second fitting part by an inner ring section, and stops that limit the relative rotation of the two fitting parts and that comprise at least one limiting stop formed on the clasping ring and at least one blocking stop connected to the second fitting part, wherein the limiting stop protrudes outwardly from the outer ring section of the clasping ring, and wherein the blocking stop is provided on a structural part fastened to the second fitting part;

wherein the limiting stop comprises a first part protruding at least radially from the clasping ring and at least one second part that protrudes from the first part and has a stop surface that points in a circumferential direction for the blocking stop.

2. The fitting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outer ring section and the inner ring section merge flat one into the other.

3. The fitting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the limiting stop is integrally formed on or fastened to the outer ring section of the clasping ring.

4. The fitting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outer ring section is arranged in a plane offset axially with respect to the inner ring section toward the first fitting part.

5. A vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat, comprising a fitting as claimed in claim 1 .

6. The fitting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blocking stop is integrally formed on the structural part.

7. The fitting as claimed in claim 1 , comprising two limiting stops that receive the blocking stop therebetween in the circumferential direction.

8. The fitting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the clasping ring has at least one centering section that extends axially from the outer ring section and embraces the first fitting part radially on the outside and partially covers the outer surface thereof

9. The fitting as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the limiting stop is integrally formed on the outer ring section of the clasping ring by the centering section as a transition.

10. The fitting as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a toothed rim is formed on one of the fitting parts and a toothed wheel is formed on the other of the fitting parts, the toothed rim and the toothed wheel meshing with each other, whereby the two fitting parts are in geared connection to each other.

11. The fitting as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a rotatably mounted, revolving eccentric driven by a driver is provided for driving a relative rolling movement of toothed wheel and toothed rim.

12. A fitting for a motor vehicle seat, comprising a first fitting part and a second fitting part rotatable relative to each other, a clasping ring that, to axially hold the two fitting parts together, is fastened to the first fitting part by an outer ring section and embraces the second fitting part by an inner ring section, and stops that limit the relative rotation of the two fitting parts and that comprise at least one limiting stop formed on the clasping ring and at least one blocking stop connected to the second fitting part, wherein the limiting stop protrudes outwardly from the outer ring section of the clasping ring, and wherein the blocking stop is provided on a structural part fastened to the second fitting part;

wherein a toothed rim is formed on one of the fitting parts and a toothed wheel is formed on the other of the fitting parts, the toothed rim and the toothed wheel meshing with each other, whereby the two fitting parts are in geared connection to each other; and

wherein a rotatably mounted, revolving eccentric driven by a driver is provided for driving a relative rolling movement of toothed wheel and toothed rim.

13. The fitting as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the outer ring section is arranged in a plane offset axially with respect to the inner ring section toward the first fitting part.

14. The fitting as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the outer ring section and the inner ring section merge flat one into the other.

15. The fitting as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the limiting stop is integrally formed on or fastened to the outer ring section of the clasping ring.

16. The fitting as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the blocking stop is integrally formed on the structural part.

17. The fitting as claimed in claim 12 , comprising two limiting stops that receive the blocking stop therebetween in the circumferential direction.

18. The fitting as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the clasping ring has at least one centering section that extends axially from the outer ring section and embraces the first fitting part radially on the outside and partially covers the outer surface thereof.

19. The fitting as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the limiting stop is integrally formed on the outer ring section of the clasping ring by the centering section as a transition.

20. A vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat, comprising a fitting as claimed in claim 12 .
