Abstract
The invention relates to a spindle bearing arrangement for a longitudinal seat adjusting gear, which has a housing which can be attached by an attaching device on a vehicle-side component or on a seat component, whereby a spindle opening for guiding a spindle along a spindle opening axis runs through the housing and whereby an inner thread in the housing in the area of its spindle opening is formed to engage into a spindle run through in this manner, for shifting the housing and the spindle relative to each other along the spindle opening axis. The spindle bearing becomes advantageous in that the inner thread is formed in a spindle nut and the spindle nut is adjustably supported in the housing relative to the spindle opening axis.
Claims20
A spindle bearing arrangement for a longitudinal seat adjustment gear, said arrangement comprising a housing that is able to be attached with an attaching device to a component on a side of a vehicle or to a component of a seat of said vehicle:
- (a) whereby a spindle opening for guiding a spindle is guided along a spindle opening axis through said housing;
- (b) whereby an inner thread in said housing, in the area of said spindle opening, is configured to engage into said spindle while guided through in such a way as to permit shifting said housing and said spindle, relative to each other, along said spindle opening axis;
- and
- (c) characterized in that said inner thread is formed in a spindle nut and said spindle nut is adjustably supported in said housing relative to said spindle opening axis.
A spindle bearing arrangement for a longitudinal seat adjustment gear, said arrangement comprising:
- (a) a housing that is able to be attached with an attaching device to a component on a side of a vehicle or to a component of a seat of said vehicle;
- and
- (b) a spindle drive
- (i) whereby a spindle opening for guiding a spindle is guided along a spindle opening axis through said housing;
- (ii) whereby an inner thread in said housing, in the area of said spindle opening, is configured to engage into said spindle while guided through in such a way as to permit shifting said housing and said spindle, relative to each other, along said spindle opening axis;
- and
- (iii) characterized in that said inner thread is formed in a spindle nut and said spindle nut is adjustably supported in a lateral direction to said spindle opening axis.
A spindle bearing arrangement for a longitudinal seat adjustment gear, said arrangement comprising:
- (a) a housing that is able to be attached with an attaching device to a component of said vehicle;
- and
- (b) a spindle drive:
- (i) whereby a spindle opening for guiding a spindle is guided along a spindle opening axis through said housing, and wherein said spindle opening has an inner diameter larger than the diameter of said spindle;
- (ii) whereby an inner thread in said housing, in the area of said spindle opening, is configured to engage into said spindle while guided through in such a way as to permit shifting said housing and said spindle, relative to each other, along said spindle opening axis;
- and
- (iii) characterized in that said inner thread is formed in a spindle nut and said spindle nut is adjustably supported in a lateral direction, and wherein said lateral direction runs parallel to the long dimension of an element of the attaching device;
- and, wherein said spindle nut is elastically supported in the housing by means of at least one damping element.
