Abstract
A detent fitting for use in a vehicle seat including a first fitting part and a second fitting part rotatable relative to each other about an axis of rotation, four locking elements movably mounted relative to the first fitting part, configured to move to a locking position in engagement with a toothing of the second fitting part, and a cam element rotatably mounted relative to the first fitting part and including a plurality of cams for supporting the locking elements in the locking position, so that each of the locking elements contacts an associated cam at a support point. Two of the support points are arranged closer to each other than the other support points.
Claims23
A detent fitting for use in a vehicle seat, the detent fitting comprising:
- a first fitting part and a second fitting part, the first fitting part and the second fitting part are each rotatable relative to each other about an axis of rotation;
- four locking elements movably mounted relative to the first fitting part and configured to move to a locking position, in which each of the four locking elements engage a toothing of the second fitting part;
- and
- a cam element, rotatably mounted relative to the first fitting part, and including a plurality of cams configured to support the four locking elements disposed in the locking position so that each of the locking elements contact each of the cams of the plurality of cams at a number of support points, wherein
- two support points of the number of support points are arranged closer to each other than the other support points of the number of support points are to each other.
A detent fitting for use in a vehicle seat, the detent fitting comprising:
- a first fitting part and a second fitting part, each configured to rotate relative to one another about an axis of rotation;
- a plurality of locking elements movably mounted relative to the first fitting part and configured to move to a locking position, in which the plurality of locking elements engage a toothing of the second fitting part;
- and
- a cam element rotatably mounted relative to the first fitting part and including a plurality of cams configured to support the plurality of locking elements when the plurality of locking elements are in the locking position,
- wherein
- two locking elements of the plurality of locking elements are configured to be supported by a first cam of the plurality of cams.
A vehicle seat comprising:
- a seat part
- and
- a detent fitting coupling the backrest to the seat part so that the backrest is pivotable relative to the seat part wherein the detent fitting includes,
- a first fitting part and a second fitting part each configured to rotate relative to one another about an axis of rotation,
- a plurality of locking elements movably mounted relative to the first fitting part and configured to move to a locking position, in which the plurality of locking elements engage a toothing of the second fitting part, and
- a cam element rotatably mounted relative to the first fitting part and including a plurality of cams configured to support the plurality of locking elements when the plurality of locking elements are in the locking position, wherein two locking elements of the plurality of locking elements are configured to be supported by a first cam of the plurality of cams.
