Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle seat comprises an adjusting element having an output with a driving gearwheel and an output gearwheel. The gearwheels are connected to each other for conjoint rotation. The output gearwheel interacts with a fitting part in an interlocking and/or frictional manner. The driving gearwheel and the output gearwheel comprise multiple pieces.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat comprising an adjusting element which has an output with a driving gearwheel and an output gearwheel, which are connected to each other for conjoint rotation, wherein the output gearwheel interacts with a fitting part in an interlocking and/or frictional manner, and wherein the driving gearwheel and the output gearwheel are formed as respective single pieces that are separated from one another within the adjusting element; wherein a single-piece connecting element is arranged between the driving gearwheel and the output gearwheel, the connecting element has a first longitudinal end directly coupled to the driving gearwheel and a second longitudinal end directly coupled to the output gearwheel, the connecting element has an internally hollow cross section that extends along an entire length of the connecting element from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end, and the connecting element is configured as a predetermined deformation element configured to dissipate energy via distortion or twisting. 2. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the output gearwheel is cold extruded and/or precision punched. 3. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driving gearwheel is cold extruded and/or precision punched. 4. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adjusting element is a seat height adjuster.
