Abstract
An adjustable vehicle seat comprises a seat cushion positioned on both a seat-shell front part and a seat-shell rear part. The seat-shell front part is formed separately from the seat-shell rear part and mounted for moving relative to the seat-shell rear part, so that the seat-shell front part can be adjusted relative to the seat-shell rear part. As a result of the fact that the seat-shell front part and the seat-shell rear part are formed separately, and the seat-shell front part can be adjusted, in particular independently of the seat-shell rear part, the seat-shell front part can be adapted individually to the seat user in inclination and/or length of the seat surface.
Claims16
An adjustable vehicle seat, comprising:
- a seat-shell rear part;
- a seat-shell front part formed separately from the seat-shell rear part and mounted for moving in a longitudinal direction relative to the seat-sell rear part, so that the seat-shell front part can be moved relative to the seat-shell rear part to adjust a seat-surface length of the adjustable vehicle seat, wherein the seat surface length extends in the longitudinal direction between forward and rearward portions of the adjustable vehicle seat, and the seat-shell rear part is positioned rearwardly of the seat-shell front part;
- and
- a seat cushion positioned on both the seat-shell front part and the seat-shell rear part, with the seat cushion extending rearwardly from a rear edge of the seat-shell front part so that a rear part of the seat cushion is positioned on the seat-shell rear part, which is positioned rearwardly of the seat-shell front part.
An adjustable vehicle seat, comprising:
- a seat-shell rear part that is part of a frame of the vehicle seat;
- a seat-shell front part formed separately from the seat-shell rear part and mounted for pivoting relative to the seat-shell rear part, so that the inclination of the seat-shell front part can be adjusted relative to the seat-shell rear part;
- a seat cushion positioned on both the seat-shell front part and the seat-shell rear part;
- a carrier plate coupled to the frame, wherein the seat-shell front part is arranged on the carrier plate;
- and
- an inflatable cushion positioned between the carrier plate and the frame, and operative for pneumatically adjusting the inclination of the seat-shell front part.
An adjustable vehicle seat, comprising:
- a seat-shell rear part that is part of a frame of the vehicle seat;
- a seat-shell front part formed separately from the seat-shell rear part and mounted for pivoting relative to the seat-shell rear part, so that inclination of the seat-shell front part can be adjusted relative to the seat-shell rear part;
- a seat cushion positioned on both the seat-shell front part and the seat-shell rear part;
- a carrier plate coupled to the frame, wherein the seat-shell front part is arranged on the carrier plate so that the seat-shell front part can be displaced relative to the carrier plate so as to displace the seat-shell front part relative to the seat-shell rear part to adjust a seat-surface length of the adjustable vehicle seat;
- and
- a locking mechanism for selectively restricting and allowing movement of the seat-shell front part relative to the carrier plate.
