Abstract
The invention relates to a seat carrier for a vehicle seat having a position displacement device for the vehicle seat, which is secured to at least one transverse seat carrier which is arranged on the base of the vehicle, and having a deformation device which is arranged between the position displacement device and the transverse seat carrier and which absorbs by means of deformation catapult movements of vehicle occupants which occur in the event of a collision. It is proposed that at least one crashbox be provided between the position displacement device and the transverse seat carrier as a deformation device.
Claims17
A seat carrier assembly, comprising:
- a transverse seat carrier elongated along a cross-vehicle axis;
- a position displacement device secured to the transverse seat carrier;
- and
- a crashbox designed to deform in the event of a collision, the crashbox having an upper wall and a lower wall, the upper wall fixed to the position displacement device and the lower wall fixed to the transverse seat carrier, the crashbox arranged between the position displacement device and the transverse seat carrier, and the crashbox having a pair of side walls extending between the upper wall and the lower wall, each of the side walls including a contraction, the contraction elongated in a direction perpendicular to the cross-vehicle axis.
