A calf support arrangement for a vehicle seat may have one seat attachment unit. The arrangement may also have one first calf support element which is coupled to the seat attachment unit and is pivotable relative thereto. The arrangement may also have one second calf support element which is coupled to the first calf support element and is movable relative thereto. At least one guide arrangement is provided by which the calf support elements are arranged on the seat attachment unit coupled in terms of movement in such a manner that the two calf support elements are pivotable relative to the seat attachment unit and the second calf support element is movable relative to the first calf support element. A vehicle seat having the calf support arrangement is also provided.
1. A calf support arrangement for a vehicle seat, comprising:
one seat attachment unit,
one first calf support element which is coupled to the seat attachment unit and is pivotable relative thereto, and
one second calf support element which is coupled to the first calf support element and is movable relative thereto,
wherein at least one guide arrangement is provided by which the calf support elements are arranged on the seat attachment unit coupled in terms of movement in such a manner that the two calf support elements are pivotable relative to the seat attachment unit and the second calf support element is movable relative to the first calf support element,
wherein a bearing is fixed in a stationary manner to the seat attachment unit,
wherein the bearing has a guide slot extending therethrough,
wherein a guide pin is fixed in a stationary manner to the second calf support element and extends through the guide slot and is adapted for movement within the guide slot.
2. The calf support arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein pivoting of the first calf support element results in pivoting of the second calf support element and a movement of the second calf support element relative to the first calf support element can be initiated.
3. The calf support arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guide arrangement comprises at least one pivoting mechanism.
4. The calf support arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the pivoting mechanism comprises the slotted guide which predetermines a movement path for the calf support elements.
5. The calf support arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guide arrangement comprises at least one adjustment mechanism for moving the second calf support element relative to the first calf support element.
6. The calf support arrangement as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the adjustment mechanism is designed as a rail arrangement.
7. The calf support arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in a non-use position, the calf support elements are arranged at least partially overlapping or parallel to each other.
8. The calf support arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second calf support element has an additional support plate which is fixed to the second calf support element and is movable along with a movement of the second calf support element relative to the first calf support element.
9. A vehicle seat, comprising at least one seat shell and one calf support arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the calf support arrangement is connected to the seat shell in a front region thereof.
