Embodiment Construction

[0044] figure 1 A schematic perspective view of a motor vehicle seat 26 is shown, which is provided as a driver's seat in a left-hand drive motor vehicle, for example of a passenger car. The vehicle seat 26 is known per se: a seat base 28 for supporting the seat user at the bottom displaceable along the straight front 46 of travel, a seat cushion 30 provided on the seat base 28 , A panel 32 of plastic material covering the seat base 28 and a portion of the seat cushion 30 in a partially surrounding manner, a pivotally mounted seat back 34 for supporting the seat occupant's back and a manually adjustable head support Item 36.

[0045] The seat base 28 and the seat back 34 are adjustable by separate electric drives and by operating appropriate switching elements (not shown) in a manner known per se.

[0046] The motor vehicle seat 26 also has an electrically adjustable and operable lumbar support 38 (lordotic support). The lumbar support 38 is integrated in the seat back 34 a...

Abstract

The invention relates to an operator control unit (10) controls an electrically adjustable lumbar support (38) of a motor vehicle seat (26), where the lumbar support (38) is provided for performing a massage function. A four-way button (20) for setting an inoperative position of the lumbar support (38) and a three-way switching element (12) for selecting a predetermined value for a massage parameter of the lumbar support (38) are provided in the operator control unit (38).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operator control unit for controlling an electrically adjustable lumbar support of a motor vehicle seat as claimed in the preamble of claim 1 , wherein the lumbar support is arranged to perform a massage function. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle seat comprising a lumbar support and such an operator control unit. Background technique [0002] In the field of automotive engineering, it is known to use electric drives in order to improve the user's convenience of operator control when individually adjusting adjustable vehicle seats or their moving parts. In this case, the electric drive is actuated by an operator control element, such as a switch or a button, various solutions of the type and arrangement of the electric drive being disclosed in the prior art. [0003] A very common solution involves the use of electric actuators to straighten and recline the seat back, slide the entire vehicle seat forward and...
