Abstract
A rest device for a vehicle, including a support and an element that adjustable relative to the support. In addition, a drive unit including a drive motor is provided, which can be activated for the motor-driven adjusting of the element relative to the support, the drive unit being designed such that the element can be adjusted relative to the support both manually and using a motor.
Claims13
A rest device for use in a vehicle, the rest device comprising:
- a carrier;
- an element configured to be adjusted relative to the carrier;
- a drive unit including a drive motor configured to be activated to provide motor-driven adjustment of the element relative to the carrier, wherein the drive unit is configured to manually adjust the element and adjust the element relative to the carrier with the drive motor;
- and
- a control unit configured to effect a short circuit between electrical connections of the drive motor,
- wherein the control unit is configured to cancel the short circuit in response to the control unit detecting a manual adjustment of the element relative to the carrier and/or a force acting on the element by means of a sensor device configured to detect an adjustment direction and/or an adjustment speed of the element relative to the carrier or the force acting on the element.
