## Abstract

A seat system for the interior of a motor vehicle, such as a driver's cab of a truck, has a vehicle seat that is movable from a home position, set on a seat support on the vehicle, into at least one further position. The vehicle seat is separable from the seat support and has a roller element device by which the vehicle seat can be moved into a position separated from the seat support. The seat support can include at least one coupling element for a connection line, with the coupling element being connectable to a coupling element on the vehicle seat.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A seat system for the interior of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a seat support on the vehicle, and
a vehicle seat that is separable from the seat support and movable from a home position, set on the seat support on the vehicle, into at least one further position,
wherein the vehicle seat has a roller element device by which the vehicle seat can be moved into said further position and separated from the seat support.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The seat system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the seat support includes a receiving arrangement by which the roller element device of the vehicle seat is receivable in the home position thereof.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The seat system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the receiving arrangement includes respective receivers in which corresponding roller elements of the roller element device of the vehicle seat can be received in the home position thereof.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The seat system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the roller arrangement of the roller element device are provided with covers that extend at least approximately as far as a floor of the interior of the motor vehicle.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The seat system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a locking device provided between the vehicle seat and the seat support, the locking device being lockable in the home position of the vehicle seat and unlockable moving the vehicle seat into the further position, with the vehicle seat completely released from the seat support.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The seat system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the locking device has, on the vehicle seat, a displaceable locking arrangement, which cooperates with a corresponding locking arrangement on the seat support.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The seat system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the seat support is constructed at least approximately flush with a floor of the interior of the motor vehicle.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

A seat system as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a control device that communicates with the motor vehicle.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The seat system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the locking device is controllable between the vehicle seat and the seat support by way of the control device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The seat system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the interior is an interior of a driver's cab for a truck.

### Claim 11

A seat system for the interior of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a seat support on the vehicle,
a vehicle seat that is movable from a home position, set on the seat support on the vehicle, into at least one further position, and
at least one coupling element for a connection line provided on the seat support, said at least one coupling element being connectable to a coupling element on the vehicle seat.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The seat system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the connection line is a compressed air line, an electrical power line, or a signal line.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The seat system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the at least one coupling element is arranged on an upper side of the seat support, facing the vehicle seat.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The seat system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the at least one coupling element on the seat support and the coupling element on the vehicle seat are arranged to be congruent with one another in the home position of the vehicle seat.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The seat system as claimed in claim 11, wherein the interior is an interior of a driver's cab for a truck.
