Abstract
A locking device for a vehicle seat. The locking device including at least one securing section provided on an unlocking element of the locking device, which in a locking position of a locking element of the locking device positively engages in a form-fit area of the locking element and blocks a displacement of the locking element into its unlocking position.
Claims20
A locking device for use in a vehicle seat the locking device comprising:
- a locking element including an insertion section and configured to be adjusted along a locking direction into a locking position, in which the insertion section extends in to at least one detent opening;
- and
- an unlocking element configured to be adjusted in an opening direction to adjust the locking element, in a direction opposite the locking direction to an unlocking position, in which the locking element is retracted from the at least one detent opening to permit an adjustment,
- wherein the unlocking element includes at least one securing section, and
- wherein, when the locking element is adjusted to the locking position, the at least one securing section of the unlocking element is received within a form-fit opening of the locking element, such that the securing section of the unlocking element abuts the locking element and blocks displacement of the locking element from the locking position to the unlocking position.
A locking device for use in a vehicle seat, the locking device comprising:
- at least two locking elements each including an insertion section and each configured to be adjusted along a locking direction into a locking position, in which each insertion section of each locking element of the at least two locking elements extends into at least one detent opening,
- wherein the at least two locking elements are configured to be adjusted in a direction opposite to the locking direction of each locking element of the at least two locking elements into an unlocking position in which the respective locking element does not extend into the at least one detent opening;
- and
- wherein at least one securing section of an unlocking device is configured to positively engages in a form-fit area disposed on each locking element of the at least two locking elements and block a displacement of each locking element of the at least two locking elements into respective unlocking positions.
A locking assembly for use in a vehicle seat including a first rail element and a second rail element configured to be adjusted along the first rail element to set a longitudinal position of the vehicle seat, the locking assembly comprising:
- a locking element including an insertion section and defining a form-fit area, wherein the locking element is configured to move in a locking direction into a locking position, in which the insertion section extends into at least one detent opening defined by the first rail element;
- an unlocking element configured to move in an opening direction to move the locking element in a direction opposite the locking direction to an unlocking position, in which the insertion section of the locking element does not extend into the at least one detent opening, wherein the unlocking element includes at least one securing section, and, when the locking element is adjusted to the locking position, the at least one securing section of the locking element engages the form fit area of the locking element, such that the securing section of the unlocking element abuts the locking element and blocks displacement of the locking element from the locking position to the unlocking position.
