Abstract
A fitting (5) for a vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, comprises a first fitting part (7); a second fitting part (8) that can be rotated about an axis (A) relative to the first fitting part (7); a drivable eccentric (11; 111) that is mounted for rotating about the axis (A); and at least two locking elements (13) that are guided in the radial direction with respect to the axis (A) by the first fitting part (7), can be moved radially outward under the action of the eccentric (11; 111), and interact radially outward with the second fitting part (8) in order to lock the fitting (5). When the fitting (5) is in the locked state, at least one locking element (13) tilts in the counter direction in relation to the adjacent locking device (13).
Claims20
A fitting for a vehicle seat, the fitting comprising:
- first and second fitting parts mounted so that there can be relative rotation, about an axis, between the first and second fitting parts;
- an eccentric mounted for being rotated about the axis;
- a plurality of locking elements that are guided by the first fitting part for moving radially outward, with respect to the axis, in response to rotation of the eccentric, so that the locking elements interact with the second fitting part to lock the fitting while the locking elements are positioned radially outwardly,
- wherein the plurality of locking elements includes first and second locking elements that are adjacent to one another, and wherein while the fitting is locked
- (a) the first and second locking elements are tilted laterally with respect to the radial direction, and
- (b) the tilt of the first locking element is opposite from the tilt of the second locking element.
