Automobile seat
First Claim
1. An automobile seat comprising:
- a seat frame having a stop;
a backrest swivel mounted on the seat frame, wherein the backrest can be folded forwards towards a seat surface of the seat frame;
a longitudinal guide by which the seat frame can be moved in a longitudinal direction of the seat in order to regulate a longitudinal position of the seat;
a fixing device for locking the seat frame in a previously regulated seat longitudinal position;
an operating element for unlocking the fixing device so that the seat frame can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the seat;
a coupling mechanism which acts on the operating element to unlock the fixing device when the back rest is folded forwards towards the seat surface;
a memory device by means of which the seat frame can, during movement in the longitudinal direction of the seat, be automatically stopped in a predeterminable seat longitudinal position defined as a memory position when the stop associated with the seat frame and movable in the longitudinal direction of the seat engages with a counter stop of the memory device, the memory device further including a regulating means to regulate the memory position in the longitudinal direction of the seat, the memory device further including a locking device for locking a regulated memory position; and
a switching means to unlock the locking device in order to adjust the memory position;
wherein the coupling mechanism only acts on the operating element to unlock the fixing device for as long as the backrest is folded forwards;
wherein the seat frame is lockable by the fixing device when the backrest is not folded forwards;
wherein the locking device of the memory device is elastically pretensioned towards a locked position.

Abstract
An automobile seat includes a seat frame; a backrest swivel mounted on the seat frame which can be folded forwards towards the seat surface; a longitudinal guide with which the seat frame can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the seat in order to regulate the longitudinal position of the seat; a fixing device for locking the seat frame in a previously regulated seat longitudinal position; an operating element for unlocking the fixing device; a coupling mechanism which unlocks the fixing device when the back rest is folded forwards towards the seat surface; a memory device by means of which the seat frame can automatically be stopped in a predeterminable seat longitudinal position (memory position); a regulating device of the memory device with which the memory position can be regulated in the longitudinal direction of the seat; a locking device of the memory device for locking a regulated memory position; and a switching device with which the locking device can be unlocked in order to be able to adjust the memory position. The coupling mechanism only acts on the operating element to unlock the fixing device for as long as the backrest is folded forwards, and the seat frame can be locked by the fixing device when the backrest is not folded forwards.
