Abstract

A ISOFIX guide element, having a base section, a rear side section, and two side sections connected to the base, an insertion opening, which is delimited by respective inner sides of the base section and the two side sections, a bracket opening formed between the base section and the rear side section which has notches formed in the side sections in such a way that a bracket-like fixing element can be accommodated in the notches, and that the fixing element is accessible through the insertion opening. It is provided here that at least one fastening element protruding from the base section is arranged on an outer side of the base section, wherein the fastening element has at least one oblong-hole-type fastening opening, which is connectable to a tab of a seat cushion or a seat cover of a vehicle seat.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A guide element, in particular ISOFIX guide element, comprising:
a base section, a rear side section, and two side sections connected to the base,
an insertion opening, which is delimited by respective inner sides of the base section and the two side sections, a bracket opening formed between the base section and the rear side section, which has notches formed in the side sections in such a way that a bracket-like fixing element can be accommodated in the notches, and in that the fixing element is accessible through the insertion opening,
wherein at least one fastening element protruding from the base section is arranged on an outer side of the base section, wherein the fastening element has at least one oblong-hole-type fastening opening, which is connectable to a tab of a seat cushion or a seat cover of a vehicle seat.

2. The guide element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fastening opening is embodied to be essentially rectangular, wherein a length of the fastening opening is approximately four times the width of the fastening opening.

3. The guide element according to claim 1 , wherein the notches have a respective end section, which is dimensioned in such a way that the guide element is fixable in a formfitting and/or friction-locked manner on the fixing element accommodated in the notches, in particular is fixable like a clip.

4. A seat cushion for a seat of a vehicle, comprising:
a foam body;
a support structure arranged on the foam body;
a cover enclosing the foam body;
wherein at least one tab connected to the support structure and/or the cover is arranged on a rear region of the seat cushion, and in that a ISOFIX guide element, including
a base section, a rear side section, and two side sections connected to the base,
an insertion opening, which is delimited by respective inner sides of the base section and the two side sections, a bracket opening formed between the base section and the rear side section, which has notches formed in the side sections in such a way that a bracket-like fixing element can be accommodated in the notches, and in that the fixing element is accessible through the insertion opening,
wherein at least one fastening element protruding from the base section is arranged on an outer side of the base section, wherein the fastening element has at least one oblong-hole-type fastening opening, which is connectable to a tab of a seat cushion or a seat cover of a vehicle seat is connected to the tab.

5. The seat cushion as claimed in claim 4 , wherein it has two tabs, which are arranged at a distance to one another along a rear region of the seat cushion, which essentially corresponds to a distance of two bracket-like fixing elements connected to a vehicle body, in particular the distance of 270 to 290 mm between two ISOFIX retaining brackets.

6. The seat cushion as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the tab has a length which is dimensioned so that a free end which is guided through the fastening opening of the fastening element, is arranged below the base section of the guide element in the mounted state of the guide element on the seat cushion.

7. The guide element according to claim 2 , wherein the notches have a respective end section, which is dimensioned in such a way that the guide element is fixable in a formfitting and/or friction-locked manner on the fixing element accommodated in the notches, in particular is fixable like a clip.

8. The seat cushion as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the tab has a length which is dimensioned so that a free end which is guided through the fastening opening of the fastening element, is arranged below the base section of the guide element in the mounted state of the guide element on the seat cushion.
