Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle seat with a seat part, with a backrest and with a height-adjustable armrest, in which the height-adjustable armrest has an arm support part and a lever mechanism to lift or lower the arm support part with a stationary base component, with one or two pivot lever parts articulated to the base component and with a height-adjustable lower component articulated to the pivot lever parts to carry the arm support part, wherein the height-adjustable armrest is distinguished by a locking device to lock the lever mechanism with a first locking part arranged on the side of the base component and having a first locking tooth system, with a second locking part arranged on the side of the lower component and having a further locking tooth system , and with locking means, which are displaceably arranged in relation to the two locking parts by means of an actuating element in such a way that counter-locking tooth systems of the locking means can engage in the locking tooth systems of the locking parts or can disengage in order to lock or unlock the lever mechanism.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat part;
a backrest; and
a height-adjustable armrest, including:
an arm support part;
a lever mechanism to lift or lower the arm support part;
a stationary base component;
at least one pivot lever part articulated to the base component;
a height-adjustable lower component articulated to the at least one pivot lever part to carry the arm support part; and
a locking device, including:
a first locking part, wherein the first locking part is fixed to the at least one pivot lever part, and wherein the first locking part includes a first locking tooth system;
a second locking part, wherein the second locking part is fixed to the height-adjustable lower component, and wherein the second locking part includes a second locking tooth system; and
first and second locking sliding parts, wherein the first and second locking sliding parts are displaceably arranged in relation to the first and second locking parts by an actuating element in such a way that a counter-locking tooth system of the first locking sliding part can engage in the locking tooth system of the first locking part or can disengage from the locking tooth system of the first locking part and a counter-locking tooth system of the second locking sliding part can engage in the locking tooth system of the second locking part or can disengage from the locking tooth system of the second locking part in order to lock or unlock the lever mechanism.

2. A commercial vehicle, in particular an agricultural commercial vehicle, with at least one vehicle seat, according to claim 1 .

3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the locking device is arranged in an interactive manner between the height-adjustable lower component and one of the pivot lever parts or between the base component and one of the pivot lever parts.

4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , further comprising a drive device with a drive element for power-assisted height adjustment of the arm support part.

5. The vehicle seat according to claim 4 , wherein the drive element comprises a tension spring element.

6. The vehicle seat according to claim 4 , wherein the drive element comprises an electrically operated drive motor.

7. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating element comprises a cam part that can be rotated with a rotary axle, wherein the locking sliding parts can be outwardly displaced radially with respect to the rotary axle by two cams formed by the cam part, wherein the radially displaceable locking sliding parts and the cams of the rotatable cam part are arranged in relation to one another in such a way that upon a rotation of the actuating element in a first rotational direction, the counter-locking tooth systems of the radially displaceable locking sliding parts can be brought into engagement with the locking tooth systems by the rotatable cam part.

8. The vehicle seat according to claim 7 , wherein the outwardly displaceable locking sliding parts are arranged spring-preloaded in such a way that the counter-locking tooth systems are always kept in engagement with the locking tooth systems.

9. The vehicle seat according to claim 7 , wherein the cam part comprises disengagement elements, which have an operative connection to the radially displaceable locking sliding parts in such a way that upon a rotation of the actuating element in a second rotational direction opposing the first rotational direction, the counter-locking tooth systems of the radially displaceable locking sliding parts can be disengaged from the locking tooth systems by the rotatable cam part.

10. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein the disengagement elements have contact faces, which, upon a rotation of the actuating element in the second rotational direction, interact with approach slopes of the radially displaceable locking sliding parts.

11. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein the disengagement elements are arranged further out than the cams and offset with respect to the cams in the peripheral direction of the rotatable cam part.
