Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle seat comprising a seating portion, a backrest with a front face and which extends in a main direction Z and which has a hole for the upward exit of a seat belt from the backrest and a support which the seat belt bears against in order to descend along the front face of the backrest, and a headrest mounted on the backrest and slidable relative to the rest of the backrest along the main direction Z. The support is slidable relative to the rest of the backrest along the main direction Z, and the seat comprises a drive mechanism capable of simultaneously causing the headrest to slide along the main direction for a first amplitude A1 and the support for a second amplitude A2 different from the first amplitude A1, and an actuator able to actuate the drive mechanism.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat comprising a seating portion, a backrest with a front face and which extends in a main direction Z and which has a hole for the upward exit of a seat belt from said backrest and a support which said seat belt bears against in order to descend along said front face of the backrest, and a headrest mounted on said backrest and slidable relative to the rest of said backrest along the main direction Z, said seat being characterized in that said support is slidable relative to the rest of said backrest along the main direction Z, and in that it comprises a drive mechanism capable of simultaneously causing said headrest to slide along said main direction Z for a first amplitude A 1 and the support for a second amplitude A 2 different from the first amplitude A 1 , and an actuator able to actuate said drive mechanism. 2. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein said drive mechanism comprises a single motor, a first reducer which is connected to the headrest, a second reducer which is connected to the support, and a control device, said motor being able to drive the first reducer and the second reducer when it receives the command from said actuator via said control device. 3. The vehicle seat of claim 2 , wherein the drive mechanism comprises a selection mechanism which allows choosing the value of the first amplitude A 1 and the value of the second amplitude A 2 . 4. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein the drive mechanism comprises a first motor, a second motor, and a control device, the first motor being able to cause said headrest to slide and the second motor being able to cause said support to slide upon receiving the command from said actuator via said control device. 5. The vehicle seat of claim 4 , wherein the drive mechanism comprises a selection mechanism which allows choosing the value of the first amplitude A 1 and the value of the second amplitude A 2 . 6. The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein the drive mechanism ( 30 ) comprises a selection mechanism ( 35 ) which allows choosing the value of the first amplitude A 1 and the value of the second amplitude A 2 . 7. The vehicle seat of claim 6 , wherein the drive mechanism comprises a selection mechanism which allows choosing the value of the first amplitude A 1 and the value of the second amplitude A 2 .
