Abstract

A vehicle seat is provided with an upper part which is height-adjustably mounted with respect to a lower part by at least one scissor frame, where the scissor frame has a first scissor arm member and a second scissor arm member which are pivotally mounted about a common axis, where the first scissor arm member has a first, a second and a third lever member which are series-connected, where the first lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the upper part about a third axis, where the third lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the lower part about a fourth axis, and where the second lever member is pivotally mounted about the common axis and is rotationally connected to the first lever member by a fifth axis and rotationally connected to the third lever member by a sixth axis.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle seat comprising:
an upper part, which is height-adjustably mounted with respect to a lower part by at least one scissor frame,
wherein the scissor frame comprises a first scissor arm member and a second scissor arm member, which are pivotally mounted about a common axis,
wherein the second scissor arm member comprises an integral fourth lever member, which is pivotally mounted with respect to the upper part about a first axis and with respect to the lower part about a second axis,
wherein the first scissor arm member comprises a first, a second and a third lever member which are series-connected,
wherein the first lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the upper part about a third axis,
wherein the third lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the lower part about a fourth axis,
wherein the second lever member is pivotally mounted about the common axis and is rotationally connected to the first lever member by a fifth axis and rotationally connected to the third lever member by a sixth axis, and
wherein a relative position of at least one of the third axis, the fourth axis, the fifth axis, or the sixth axis is adjustable relative to the common axis in at least one of a longitudinal direction or a height direction of the vehicle seat.

2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein in relation to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat, the third axis and the second axis are arranged at a front end of the vehicle seat.

3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the integral fourth lever member is longer than the second lever member and/or that the second lever member is longer than the first lever member and/or that the second lever member is longer than the third lever member.

4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a first distance between the third axis and the fifth axis is identical to a second distance between the fourth axis and the sixth axis.

5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a third distance between the third axis and the fourth axis is smaller than a fourth distance between the first axis and the second axis.

6. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein, in relation to the height direction of the vehicle seat, a location of the first axis is identical to a location of the third axis and/or a location of the second axis is identical to a location of the fourth axis.

7. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a seventh distance between the first axis and the common axis is identical to an eighth distance between the second axis and the common axis.

8. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein in relation to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat, a location of the first axis is different from a location of the fourth axis and/or a location of the third axis is different from a location of the second axis.

9. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a fifth distance between the fifth axis and the common axis is identical to a sixth distance between the sixth axis and the common axis.

10. A vehicle seat comprising:
an upper part, which is height-adjustably mounted with respect to a lower part by at least one scissor frame,
wherein the scissor frame includes a first scissor arm member and a second scissor arm member, which are pivotally mounted about a common axis,
wherein the second scissor arm member comprises an integral fourth lever member, which is pivotally mounted with respect to the upper part about a first axis and with respect to the lower part about a second axis,
wherein the first scissor arm member comprises a first, a second and a third lever member which are series-connected,
wherein the first lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the upper part about a third axis,
wherein the third lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the lower part about a fourth axis,
wherein the second lever member is pivotally mounted about the common axis and is rotationally connected to the first lever member by a fifth axis and rotationally connected to the third lever member by a sixth axis, and
wherein a first distance between the third axis and the fourth axis is smaller than a second distance between the first axis and the second axis.

11. The vehicle seat according to claim 10 , wherein, in relation to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat, at least one of a location of the first axis is different from a location of the fourth axis or a location of the third axis is different from a location of the second axis.

12. The vehicle seat according to claim 10 , wherein, in relation to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat, the third axis and the second axis are arranged at a front end of the vehicle seat.

13. The vehicle seat according to claim 10 , wherein at least one of the integral fourth lever member is longer than the second lever member or the second lever member is longer than at least one of the first lever member or the third lever member.

14. The vehicle seat according to claim 10 , wherein a third distance between the third axis and the fifth axis is identical to a fourth distance between the fourth axis and the sixth axis.

15. A vehicle seat comprising:
an upper part, which is height-adjustably mounted with respect to a lower part by at least one scissor frame,
wherein the scissor frame comprises a first scissor arm member and a second scissor arm member, which are pivotally mounted about a common axis,
wherein the second scissor arm member comprises an integral fourth lever member, which is pivotally mounted with respect to the upper part about a first axis and with respect to the lower part about a second axis,
wherein the first scissor arm member comprises a first, a second and a third lever member which are series-connected,
wherein the first lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the upper part about a third axis,
wherein the third lever member is pivotally mounted with respect to the lower part about a fourth axis,
wherein the second lever member is pivotally mounted about the common axis and is rotationally connected to the first lever member by a fifth axis and rotationally connected to the third lever member by a sixth axis, and
wherein, in relation to a height direction of the vehicle seat, a location of the first axis is identical to a location of the third axis and/or a location of the second axis is identical to a location of the fourth axis.

16. The vehicle seat according to claim 15 , wherein, in relation to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat, a location of the first axis is different from a location of the fourth axis and/or a location of the third axis is different from a location of the second axis.

17. The vehicle seat according to claim 15 , wherein, in relation to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat, the third axis and the second axis are arranged at a front end of the vehicle seat.

18. The vehicle seat according to claim 15 , wherein the integral fourth lever member is longer than the second lever member and/or that the second lever member is longer than the first lever member and/or that the second lever member is longer than the third lever member.

19. The vehicle seat according to claim 15 , wherein a first distance between the third axis and the fifth axis is identical to a second distance between the fourth axis and the sixth axis.
