Longitudinal adjuster for a vehicle seat, and vehicle seat
A longitudinal adjuster for a motor vehicle seat may have a first rail, a second rail, a spindle, and a gear. The gear may be fastened to the second rail by a substantially U-shaped gear holder, and the gear holder may have at least two limbs arranged opposite one another in the longitudinal direction. The gear holder may have at least one recess in a base connecting the two limbs, and a gear housing surrounding the gear projects at least in sections into the at least one recess. A motor vehicle seat may have the longitudinal adjuster for adjusting a seat longitudinal position.
1. A longitudinal adjuster for a motor vehicle seat, having a first rail, a second rail which is guided displaceably in a longitudinal direction in the first rail, a spindle which is arranged between the first rail and the second rail, and a gear, wherein the gear is in engagement with a thread of the spindle and is movable along the spindle, or the gear is arranged in a fixed position relative to the spindle and the spindle is drivable by the gear, wherein the gear is fastened to the second rail by a substantially U-shaped gear holder, wherein the gear holder has at least two limbs which are arranged opposite one another in the longitudinal direction, wherein the gear holder has at least one recess in a base connecting the two limbs and running horizontally, wherein the at least one recess is a through-hole extending from an inner surface of the base to an outer surface of the base,
wherein a gear housing surrounding the gear projects at least in sections into the at least one recess.
2. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one buffer is plugged onto a gear housing of the gear.
3. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the at least one buffer projects in sections into the at least one recess.
4. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 2 , wherein two buffers are plugged onto the gear housing parallel to the axial direction of the spindle, wherein in each case one buffer projects in sections into in each case one recess.
5. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gear holder has two recesses in the base.
6. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the two recesses are separated from each other by a web.
7. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the web runs inclined at a right angle with respect to an axis of rotation of the spindle.
8. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the limbs each have a portion in the region of the at least one recess.
9. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the portions are punched free.
10. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the portions have a rectilinear profile relative to the respective limb.
11. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the portions are at an angle of 90° relative to the base.
12. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the gear holder has precisely one recess in the base and the base is divided by the recess into two bridge portions running in parallel.
13. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the recess is delimited in the transverse direction by the two bridge portions of the base.
14. The longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the bridge portions of the base each has/have a bevel on its/their lateral outer edges, as viewed in the longitudinal direction.
15. A motor vehicle seat, wherein the vehicle seat has a longitudinal adjuster as claimed in claim 1 for adjusting a seat longitudinal position.
