Vehicle seat with a longitudinal guide, with an adjustment of height or inclination, and with an attachment for seat belt lock
First Claim
1. A vehicle seat, comprising:
- a longitudinal guide with at least one floor rail (20) and seat rail (22),a device (24) for adjustment of at least one of a height and an inclination of a seat surface (30) of the seat, located between a seat carrier (26) for the seat surface (30) and the seat rail (22),a seatbelt lock attachment on an inboard side of the seat, a lower end of the seatbelt lock attachment being fastened to the seat rail (22) and an upper end of the seatbelt lock attachment supporting a seatbelt lock (34), which can accommodate a coupling piece (36) of a safety belt and is movable to said inboard side of the seat,said seatbelt lock attachment (32) having a lower part (38) which is linked relative to the seat rail (22), and an upper part (40), which is linked relative to the seat carrier (26) and is connected with the seatbelt lock (34) such that one of the upper and lower parts can slide freely in a longitudinal guide defined by the other of said upper and lower parts, one of said upper and lower parts being provided with at least one stop projection and the other of said upper and lower parts having locking devices interacting with said stop projection, and further comprising a locking piece (50), holding the upper and lower parts (38,
40) in a normal position which permits their free sliding relative movement, and the locking piece (50) being overriden by a force affecting the safety belt during an accident, whereupon the stop projection (60) engages in the locking devices and relative movement of the upper part (40) and the lower part (38) is thereby prevented, and wherein said lower part (38) is linked relative to the seat rail (22) via a rocker (88), linked to the seat rail.

Abstract
A seatbelt lock is mounted to be movable as little as possible relative to the seat surface when the seat surface is adjusted in height or inclination. The seat has a longitudinal guide 20, 22, a device 24 for adjustment of height or inclination and a belt lock attachment 32. The lower end of the belt lock attachment 32 is affixed to the seat rail 22 of the longitudinal guide and carries a belt lock 34 at its upper end. The belt lock attachment has a lower part 38 linked to the seat rail and an upper part 40 linked to the seat carrier 26, the upper part being connected with the belt lock. One of these parts 38, 40 can move freely in a longitudinal guide formed by the other part. One part has at least one locking projection 60; and the other part has locking devices 46 interacting with the projection. By means of a safety piece 50, the two parts are held in a normal position permitting movement. When extreme forces induced during an accident act on the belt, the safety piece is overridden, whereby the locking projection engages in the locking device and removed of the upper part from the lower part is precluded.
