Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle seat, such as for a motor vehicle seat, adapted to be transferable from at least one use position, which is suitable for transporting a passenger, into an easy entry position as a non-use position, and back, may have a seat cushion, a backrest, and a seat frame. The seat cushion and the backrest may be coupled to the seat frame, a base and a kinematics for the articulated connection of the seat frame to the base. The kinematics may have at least one link articulated connecting the seat frame to the base. The at least one link may be lockable by a disc shaped fitting or the at least one link may be lockable with the seat frame by a locking device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat adapted to be transferable from at least one use position, which is suitable for transporting a passenger, into an easy entry position as a non-use position, and back, comprising: a seat cushion, a backrest, a seat frame, the seat cushion and the backrest being coupled to the seat frame, a base, and a kinematics for the articulated connection of the seat frame to the base, wherein the kinematics comprises at least one link articulated connecting the seat frame to the base, wherein the at least one link is lockable with the seat frame by a locking device, wherein the locking device is designed as a rotary latch lock for receiving and locking a counter element, wherein the locking device is fixedly connected to the seat frame and the counter element is fixedly connected to the at least one link, wherein the counter element is arranged within a U-shaped profile of the at least one link. 2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the kinematics is a four bar linkage. 3. The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the four bar linkage comprises a front link and a rear link; the front link being connected to the base by a first swivel joint and the front link being connected to the seat frame by a second swivel joint; the rear link being connected to the base by a third swivel joint and the rear link being connected to the seat frame by a fourth swivel joint. 4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the counter element is designed as a bolt. 5. The vehicle seat according to 1 , wherein a cover is covering the locking device and at least partly the rear link, the rear link being pivotable relative to the cover.
