Abstract

Vehicle seat element for a vehicle seat having a residual spring travel adjustment device, the vehicle seat element having a first fastening eye, it being possible to introduce the residual spring travel adjustment device into the first fastening eye and the residual spring travel adjustment device having a fastening eye insert having an eccentric hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle seat element for a vehicle seat having a residual spring travel adjustment device, the vehicle seat element having a first fastening eye, wherein the residual spring travel adjustment device can be introduced into the first fastening eye and the residual spring travel adjustment device has a fastening eye insert having an eccentric hole, wherein the fastening eye is cylindrical, and wherein the fastening eye insert has two projections extending in a radial direction that engage in complementarily shaped grooves of the first fastening eye.

2. The vehicle seat element for a vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening eye insert is displaceable in a circumferential direction relative to the first fastening eye.

3. The vehicle seat element for a vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the two projections are arranged at an angle of 180° relative to each other.

4. A vehicle seat element for a vehicle seat having a residual spring travel adjustment device, the vehicle seat element having a first fastening eye, wherein the residual spring travel adjustment device is introduced into the first fastening eye and the residual spring travel adjustment device has a fastening eye insert having an eccentric hole, wherein the fastening eye insert is cylindrical, wherein a first fine toothing is formed on the first fastening eye, wherein a second fine toothing is formed on the fastening eye insert, and wherein the first fine toothing of the first fastening eye engages with the second fine toothing of the fastening eye insert.

5. A vehicle seat element for a vehicle seat having a residual spring travel adjustment device, the vehicle seat element having a first fastening eye, wherein the residual spring travel adjustment device can be introduced into the first fastening eye and the residual spring travel adjustment device has a fastening eye insert having an eccentric hole, wherein the fastening eye insert is cylindrical, and wherein a worm gear is provided, a worm wheel of the worm gear being formed on the fastening eye insert and a worm of the worm gear being arranged in the first fastening eye.

6. A method for adjusting a residual spring travel of the vehicle seat element for the vehicle seat according to claim 1 , comprising the following method steps:
detaching the fastening eye insert from the first fastening eye;
rotating the fastening eye insert in a circumferential direction by a first angle; and
introducing the fastening eye insert into the first fastening eye.
