Vehicle seat

Abstract

A vehicle seat (1) has a carrier part (8) connected to a seat back (2), preferably with an integrated headrest (3), and a seat part (4) having a sitting surface. The seat back (2) is movable from a predetermined starting position to a safety position during a crash-related introduction of forces through the user of the seat during a rear collision. For this purpose, the carrier part has a support for the seat back (2) arranged above the sitting surface and spaced with an effective lever arm from the position for the introduction of forces by the pelvis area against in the seat back (2). The seat part (4) is connected to a guide slanting upwardly and forwardly away from the seat back (2), so that during a frontal collision, the seat part is moved from the originally selected starting position into a position of greater safety. The vehicle seat (1) according to the invention offers the user both good ergonomics and at the same time the greatest possible degree of safety.
