Abstract

The present invention relates to a vehicle seat ( 1 ) comprising a seat part ( 2 ) and a backrest ( 3 ), wherein the backrest ( 3 ) is provided in such a way that it is pivotable relative to the seat part ( 2 ) by means of a recliner ( 4 ). The present invention further relates to an adjusting mechanism.

First claim

1 . A vehicle seat comprising a seat part relative to which a backrest is arranged so as to be rotatable about a backrest rotational axis, wherein the backrest is adjusted by means of a recliner and/or is able to be locked in its respective position on the seat part, wherein the recliner has a positive and/or non-positive connecting means which cooperates positively and/or non-positively with a drive element and/or locking element, having a drive element and/or locking element rotational axis which is disposed at an angle to the backrest rotational axis of the backrest.

2 . The vehicle seat of claim 1 wherein the drive element and/or locking element comprises a worm gear.

3 . The vehicle seat claim 1 , wherein the recliner comprises a recliner fitting with a positive and/or non-positive connecting means.

4 . The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein the recliner fitting is configured as a circular sector.

5 . The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the recliner fitting is rotatably mounted on the seat part.

8 . The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the recliner fitting has a recliner fitting rotational axis and the recliner fitting rotational axis and the backrest rotational axis are identical.

7 . The vehicle seat of claim 5 , includes a locking system which locks the recliner fitting fixedly in terms of rotation to the seat part.

8 . The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein the drive element and/or seeking element rotational axis is provided at a right angle to the backrest rotational axis.

9 . The vehicle seat of claim 1 wherein the drive element and/or locking element is connected rotatably to the backrest.

10 . The vehicle seat of claim 1 , wherein the adjustment of the backrest takes place continuously or discontinuously.

11 . An adjusting mechanism for adjusting a first element relative to a second element with a worm gear, wherein a partial segment of the worm is flattened and in which the worm has a locking/unlocking mechanism which drives the worm gear in a linear and rotational manner.
