Height adjustment device of a vehicle seat and a vehicle seat fitted with it
First Claim
1. A height adjustment device of a vehicle seat, which comprises a control valve means serving for governing the degree of filling of at least one compressed air actuator holding the seat body at a desired height and thereby providing a vertical elastic supporting action, at least one actuating member cooperating with at least one control cam slide being associated with the control valve means in such a manner that in accordance with use dependent alteration of the weight to be borne by the at least one compressed air actuator a relative switching over movement causing the switching over of the control valve means takes place between a component bearing the at least one control cam slide and another component bearing the associated actuating member, characterized in that the relative switching over movement is a linear movement wherein the said two components bearing the at least one control cam slide and the at least one actuating member are guided in the direction of the switching over movement relatively to one another in a linearly slidable manner.

Abstract
A height adjustment device of a vehicle seat comprises a control valve means for governing the degree of filling of a compressed air actuator. Following an alteration in the weight to be carried by the compressed air actuator there is a relative switching over movement between a component bearing a control cam slide and a component bearing an actuating member entailing the switch over of the control valve means. The relative switching over movement is a linear movement, the two components bearing the slide and the actuating member being guided for relative sliding linear motion in the direction of the switch over movement. Furthermore a vehicle seat having such a height adjustment device is provided.

37. A vehicle seat comprising a seat body, which is arranged on a seat bracket having a height adjustment device and having at least one compressed air actuator by which the seat body is able to be positioned at different heights and is able to be resiliently vertically maintained on the respectively set height, the seat bracket having at least two support elements varying the distance between them during vertical movement of the seat body, one support element having at least one control cam slide kinematically coupled with it, such control cam slide so cooperating with at least one actuating member kinematically coupled with the other support element and assigned to a control valve means serving for the control of the degree of filling of the at least one compressed air actuator that following a use dependent alteration of the weight carried by the at least one compressed air actuator there is a relative switching over movement between the components bearing the at least one control cam slide and the actuating member assigned thereto causing a switch over of the control valve means, characterized in that the relative switching over movement is a linear movement wherein the component carrying the at least one control cam slide is a control carriage and the component carrying the assigned actuating member constitutes a guide body whereon the control carriage is arranged linearly slidable in the direction of the switching over movement.
