Estimating the term…
A fitting for a vehicle seat may have a first ring gear having first ring gear teeth, a second ring gear having second ring gear teeth, and a planet gear mounted on a planet carrier and which meshes with the first and second ring gear teeth. A blocking planet gear, which can be rotated about a blocking-planet-gear axis of rotation, permanently meshes with the first ring gear teeth and with the second ring gear teeth, and the distance between the blocking-planet-gear axis of rotation and the axis can be changed so that the blocking planet gear can be transferred selectively between locking meshing and non-locking meshing with the first ring gear teeth and/or with the second ring gear teeth. A vehicle seat having a seat part, a backrest and a fitting of this type for setting an angle of inclination of the backrest is provided.
A fitting for a vehicle seat, the fitting having a first ring gear having a first ring gear toothing, a second ring gear which has a second ring gear toothing and is mounted so as to be rotatable relative to the first ring gear about an axis, and at least one planet gear which is mounted on a planet carrier so as to be rotatable eccentrically to the axis and meshes with the first ring gear toothing and the second ring gear toothing, wherein by rotating the planet carrier about the axis the at least one planet gear is rollable in the first ring gear toothing and in the second ring gear toothing, as a result of which the first ring gear and the second ring gear are rotatable relative to one another about the axis, characterized in that at least one interlocking planet gear which is rotatable about an interlocking planet gear rotation axis permanently meshes with the first ring gear toothing and permanently meshes with the second ring gear toothing, and a spacing between the interlocking planet gear axis and the axis is variable in such a manner that the at least one interlocking planet gear is selectively transferable between a locking gear mesh and a non-locking gear mesh with the first ring gear toothing and the second ring gear toothing.
