Abstract

An assembly group of a vehicle seat comprises a tube element having a tube section extending along a longitudinal direction and a bead section formed on the tube element and radially protruding with respect to the tube section. An attachment part is connected in a torsionally locked manner to the tube element and has a planar section and a first opening formed in the planar section, wherein the tube element extends through the first opening such that the tube element with the bead section abuts the planar section of the attachment part. The attachment part comprises at least a second opening separate from the first opening. The bead section comprises at least one protrusion element engaging with the at least one second opening for torsionally locking the tube element with respect to the attachment part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Assembly An assembly group of a vehicle seat, the assembly group comprising:
a tube element having a tube section extending along a longitudinal direction and a bead section formed on the tube element and radially protruding with respect to the tube section;
an attachment part connected in a torsionally locked manner to the tube element and having a planar section and a first opening formed in the planar section, wherein the tube element extends through the first opening such that the tube element with the bead section abuts the planar section of the attachment part;
wherein the attachment part comprises at least a second opening separate from the first opening; and
wherein the bead section comprises at least one protrusion element engaging with the second opening for torsionally locking the tube element with respect to the attachment part, wherein the at least one protrusion element is formed on the bead section by stamping.

2. Assembly The assembly group according to
claim 1 , wherein the at least one protrusion element protrudes at least one of axially and radially with respect to the longitudinal direction from the bead section.

3. Assembly The assembly group according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one protrusion element is formed on a radially outer edge of the bead section.

4. Assembly The assembly group according to claim 1 , wherein one protrusion element engages with each second opening.

5. Assembly The assembly group according to claim 1 , wherein at least one second opening is formed on the planar section.

6. Assembly The assembly group according to claim 1 , wherein at least one second opening is formed on a flange of the attachment part, the flange protruding axially along the longitudinal direction from the planar section.

7. Assembly The assembly group according to claim 6 , wherein the flange extends around the planar section to encompass the planar section.

8. Assembly The assembly group according to claim 1 , wherein the first opening is confined by a closed circular etch.

9. Assembly The assembly group according to claim 1 , wherein the tube element comprises a first bead section carrying the at least one protrusion element and a second bead section axially displaced with respect to the first bead section, wherein the attachment part is received in between the first bead section and the second bead section.

10. An assembly group of a vehicle seat, the assembly group comprising:
a tube element having a tube section extending along a longitudinal direction and a bead section formed on the tube element and radially protruding with respect to the tube section;
an attachment part connected in a torsionally locked manner to the tube element and having a planar section and a first opening formed in the planar section, wherein the tube element extends through the first opening such that the tube element with the bead section abuts the planar section of the attachment part;
wherein the attachment part comprises a multiplicity of second openings which are arranged radially outside of the first opening and are displaced with respect to one another; and
wherein the bead section comprises at least one protrusion element engaging with one second opening for torsionally locking the tube element with respect to the attachment part, wherein the at least one protrusion element engages with at least one of the second openings.

11. The assembly group according to claim 10 , wherein one protrusion element engages with each second opening.

12. The assembly group according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one protrusion element protrudes at least one of axially and radially with respect to the longitudinal direction from the bead section.

13. The assembly group according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one protrusion element is formed on a radially outer edge of the bead section.

14. An assembly group of a vehicle seat, the assembly group comprising:
a tube element having a tube section extending along a longitudinal direction and a bead section formed on the tube element and radially protruding with respect to the tube section;
an attachment part connected in a torsionally locked manner to the tube element and having a planar section and a first opening formed in the planar section, wherein the tube element extends through the first opening such that the tube element with the bead section abuts the planar section of the attachment part;
wherein at least one second opening is formed on a flange of the attachment part, the flange protruding axially along the longitudinal direction from the planar section; and
wherein the bead section comprises at least one protrusion element engaging with one second opening for torsionally locking the tube element with respect to the attachment part.

15. The assembly group according to claim 14 , wherein the flange extends around the planar section to encompass the planar section.

16. The assembly group according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one protrusion element protrudes at least one of axially and radially with respect to the longitudinal direction from the bead section.

17. The assembly group according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one protrusion element is formed on the bead section by stamping.

18. The assembly group according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one protrusion element is formed on a radially outer edge of the bead section.
