Vehicle seat substructure with an accident-induced adjustment device

Abstract

A vehicle seat substructure has an accident-induced adjustment device including a pair of seat rails having a seat top rail arranged displaceably in relation to a seat bottom rail, and a seat structure arranged pivotably on the seat top rail via a fitting element. The vehicle seat substructure reliably permits the vehicle seat to be fixed along the pair of seat rails in the event of an accident and prevents lowering of the vehicle seat due to forces caused by the accident. The construction is simple to mount and cost-effective to produce and at the same time has little susceptibility to failure and can also be installed completely below any vehicle seat. The fitting element, on the seat top rail and on the seat structure, has a fixing element arranged on the fitting element that passes into a locking position locking the seat top rail to the seat bottom rail.
