Abstract

A receiving device on a vehicle seat for a holding element of a fastening system which has a receiving element of an equipment part to be fastened, which receiving element can be fixed on the holding element. The holding element is provided with a cover element having a cover opening. The receiving device has a holding part which is reversibly secured on the holding element. The cover element has a casing body which emerges from the cover opening and has cover-element slotted guides that are open with respect to the holding element within the casing body. The casing body of the cover element at least partially surrounds a body of the holding part, and the open side of the cover-element slotted guides of the cover element engages in the holding element whereby the cover element is mounted and is guided in a telescopically movable manner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A receiving device on a vehicle seat comprising:
a holding element of a fastening system, the fastening system including a receiving element of a piece of equipment or a child seat, which is fixable to the holding element or an ISOFIX holding clip; a holding part that is reversibly secured on the holding element; and a cover element for the holding element, the cover element having a cover opening, the cover element having a casing body that extends from the cover opening and includes cover element slotted guides within the casing body that are open with respect to the holding element, the casing body of the cover element at least partially surrounding a body of the holding part, the cover element slotted guides of the cover element being adapted to engage with the holding element on their open side, wherein the cover element is supported and movably guided in a telescopic manner with respect to the holding part via the cover element slotted guides and the enclosure of the casing element on the holding part.

2 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the holding part has open holding part slotted guides in its body, wherein the holding part is adapted to be pushed onto the holding element via the open side of the holding part slotted guides, and wherein the holding part is reversibly secured true to position on the holding element via latching openings disposed on an end of the holding part slotted guides and positioning tabs disposed on the holding part.

3 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the cover element has a cover collar that is disposed on the casing body of the cover element on a front side of the casing body of the cover element opposite the open side of the cover element slotted guides.

4 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the cover collar includes a pictograph.

5 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the casing body of the cover element has a shape of a straight shaft or a funnel.

6 . A vehicle seat comprising:
a receiving device for a holding element of a fastening system, which comprises a receiving element of a piece of equipment or a child seat, which is fixable on the holding element or an ISOFIX holding clip, the receiving device comprising:
a cover element having a cover opening;
a holding part that is reversibly secured on the holding element;
a casing body extending from the cover opening; and
cover element slotted guides provided within the casing body that are open with respect to the holding element, the casing body of the cover element at least partially surrounding a body of the holding part, and the cover element slotted guides of the cover element engaging with the holding element on their open side, wherein the cover element is supported and movably guided in a telescopic manner with respect to the holding part via the cover element slotted guides and an enclosure of the casing element on the holding part,
wherein the holding element engages with the cover element slotted guides of the unloaded cover element in a first position in a provision and use situation of the receiving device, and engages with the cover element slotted guides of the cover element loaded by a person in a second position in a seated position, in which the person is seated on the vehicle seat.

7 . The vehicle seat according to claim 6 , wherein the cover element, together with the holding part, is disposed in a recess of the foam, the back of the cover collar of the cover element resting in a planar manner on the surface of the foam, which is designed as the contact surface, while the front side of the cover collar of the cover element is oriented toward a person siting on the vehicle seat.

8 . The vehicle seat according to claim 6 , wherein the unloaded cover element is held in a first position by the foam disposed on the structure or the structure of the backrest part of the vehicle seat, when the cover element is held in the first position by the foam pressure acting upon the back of the cover collar of the cover element.

9 . The vehicle seat according to claim 6 , wherein the loaded cover element is placed into the second position by overcoming the foam pressure acting upon the back of the cover collar of the cover element when a person sits on the vehicle seat and acts upon the front side of the cover collar of the cover element with his body, thereby overcoming the foam pressure.
