Abstract

A seat frame fastening assembly for laterally fastening a seat frame in a vehicle, wherein the seat frame fastening assembly comprises a holding rail arranged in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a lateral element laterally fastened to a seat frame and coupled to the holding rail. The holding rail comprises a first power- and/or data-transfer interface and the lateral holding element comprises a second power- and/or data-transfer interface. The second power- and/or data-transfer interface is furthermore arranged in the lateral holding element such that a position of the second power- and/or data-transfer interface corresponds to a position of the first power- and/or data-transfer interface when the lateral holding element is coupled to the holding rail. Furthermore, a seat frame has such a seat frame fastening assembly, a vehicle portion has a corresponding seat frame and a vehicle has such a vehicle portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A seat frame fastening assembly for lateral fastening of a seat frame in a vehicle, wherein the seat frame fastening assembly comprises:
a holding rail arranged in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle; and
a lateral holding element laterally fastened to a seat frame and coupled to the holding rail, wherein
the holding rail comprises at least one of a first power and/or data-transfer interface, and
the lateral holding element comprises at least one of a second power and/or data-transfer interface,

wherein the at least one of the second power and/or data-transfer interface is arranged in the lateral holding element such that a position of the at least one of the second power and/or data-transfer interface corresponds to a position of the at least one of the first power and/or data-transfer interface when the lateral holding element is coupled to the holding rail.

2. The seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the holding rail has a cross-sectional profile which forms at least part of a fresh air line in one portion.

3. The seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the lateral holding element comprises a fresh air line portion forming a portion of the fresh air line when the lateral holding element is coupled to the holding rail.

4. The seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the lateral holding element has at least one portion which has a cross-section corresponding to a cross-section of the fresh air line in order to couple the holding element to the holding rail with a form fit.

5. The seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the holding rail is formed by a fresh air line.

6. The seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the lateral holding element comprises a fresh air connection fluidically coupled to the fresh air line when the lateral holding element is coupled to the holding rail.

7. The seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the lateral holding element has at least one portion which has a cross-section corresponding to a cross-section of the fresh air line in order to couple the holding element to the holding rail with a form fit.

8. The seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral holding element has at least one portion with a cross-section corresponding to a cross-section of the holding rail to couple the holding element to the holding rail with a form fit.

9. The seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the holding rail has a window panel mount for fastening a window panel thereto, and wherein the holding rail has a footwell panel mount for fastening a footwell panel thereto.

10. A seat frame comprising:
a cross-bar for supporting a seat or a seat group; and
a seat frame fastening assembly according to claim 1 arranged at a lateral end of the cross-bar.

11. The seat frame according to claim 10 , wherein the cross-bar detachably fastens the seat or the seat group thereto.

12. The seat frame according to claim 10 , furthermore comprising:
a seat leg, which has a joint at a first end, wherein the joint is fastened to the cross-bar, and wherein the seat leg is spaced from the lateral end of the cross-bar on which the seat frame fastening assembly is arranged.

13. The seat frame according to claim 12 , wherein the seat leg has a locking device at a second end opposite the first end, which locking device is fastenable to a floor element of the vehicle.

14. The seat frame according to claim 10 , wherein the cross-bar is rotatably connected to the lateral holding element of the seat frame fastening assembly.

15. The seat frame according to claim 10 , wherein the lateral holding element is rotatably connected to the holding rail.

16. The seat frame according to claim 10 , furthermore comprising:
an extension element connected to the cross-bar to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the cross-bar.

17. A vehicle portion comprising:
a floor element;
a body element; and
a seat frame according to claim 10 ,
wherein the seat frame is connected to the body element via the seat frame fastening assembly.

18. The vehicle portion according to claim 17 , wherein the floor element comprises connectors which connect the floor element to the body element.

19. A vehicle having the vehicle portion according to claim 17 .
