Abstract
A seat for a vehicle with a scissor-like pivoting system and device for the adjustment of the inclination and/or height of the surface of the seat includes the feature that the device for the adjustment of the inclination and/or height must be space-saving and is not permitted to influence the pivoting system. Scissor-type sets of arms are proposed for the pivoting system whose upper arm-components are angularly adjustable and capable of being fixed relative to the remaining lower components of the same arm.
Claims6
A seat for a vehicle comprising a seat, and means for adjusting the inclination and height of the seat, said adjusting means comprising a pivoting system having an upper frame and a lower frame, and two pair of crossing scissor-type sets of arms on opposite sides of the pivot system, the arms of the scissor-type sets being connected to one another at a scissor-type crossing point by means of a horizontal pivoting axis as a scissor-type joint and being articulated at upper ends with the upper frame and at lower ends with the lower frame, the scissor-type sets of arms in at least one of a front region of the seat that is articulated at the upper frame of the pivoting system and a rear region of the seat that is articulated at the upper frame of the pivoting system being formed from two arm components articulated to one another at the horizontal axis of the scissor-type joint, the two arm components of a scissor-type set of arms being angularly adjustable relative to one another and being capable of being fixed in respective angular adjustment positions relative to one another.
