Abstract
An adjusting device for a vehicle component, in particular for the seat back of a vehicle seat, has a first and a second fitting part which are disposed along an axis of rotation. The relative position of the two fitting parts with respect to one another can be changed. A torque is transmitted by a drive to a gear which rolls on the second fitting part and thereby adjusts the second fitting part.
Claims12
An adjusting device for a vehicle component, comprising:
- a first fitting part and a second fitting part which are arranged along a rotational axis,
- an eccentric that alters the relative position of the first and second fitting parts to one another, which transmits a torque from a drive unit to a gearwheel, so that said gearwheel rolls on the second fitting part, and which comprises two eccentric members,
- a braking member which at least substantially prevents the self-adjustment thereof, wherein the braking member cooperates with a locking contour which is provided on the gearwheel.
The An adjusting device for a vehicle component, comprising:
- a first fitting part and a second fitting part which are arranged along a rotational axis, wherein the relative position of the two fitting parts to one another is able to be altered by a drive unit, which transmits a torque to a gearwheel which rolls in the second fitting part, wherein the axial extent of the bearing of the gearwheel is greater than the axial extent of the teeth of the gearwheel.
A gearwheel of an adjusting device, comprising:
- teeth;
- proceeding from the teeth, an axial step with a circular ring-shaped surface on the radial internal side, on which preferably a retaining plate of the adjusting device and/or a drive member bears.
A gearwheel of an adjusting device, comprising:
- a smooth bearing surface for a seal which sealingly cooperates with a cover and/or a drive member of the adjusting device in order to protect the interior of the adjusting device.
