Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle seat comprising a child seat receptacle, a cover element for covering the child seat receptacle and a guide element. The cover element is adjustable by means of the guide element between a covering position, in which the child seat receptacle is covered, and a revealing position, in which the child seat receptacle is revealed. BACKGROUND

[0002] Various different motor vehicle seats are known from the prior art, which have a child seat receptacle and an adjustable cover element for covering the child seat receptacle.

[0003] DE 102 16 223 365 A1, for example, describes a vehicle seat assembly comprising an upright section, a seat cushion, a space between the upright section and the seat cushion, a cover cushion movable between a closed position, in which the space is covered, and an open position, in which the space is uncovered, and a resilient element mounted on the cover cushion and fixing the cover cushion in the open position. In the closed position, the cover cushion can be fixed by means of a retaining lock and a mounting retaining element.

[0004] In the vehicle seat assembly known from DE 102 16 223 365 A1, the cover element is no longer ensured to be fixed in the open position when the resilience of the resilient element decreases. SUMMARY

[0005] Starting from the vehicle seat assembly described in DE 102 16 223 365 A1, it is the task of the invention to provide a motor vehicle seat having a child seat receptacle and a cover element for covering the child seat receptacle, wherein the cover element can be fixed in the revealing position for a long time.

[0006] According to the invention, therefore, a motor vehicle seat is provided, comprising a child seat receptacle, a cover element for covering the child seat receptacle and a guide element. The cover element can be adjusted with the aid of the guide element between a covering position, in which the child seat receptacle is covered, and a revealing position, in which the child seat receptacle is revealed, i.e. not covered by the cover element, so that a child seat can be fastened on the child seat receptacle. The guide element is T-shaped and comprises a horizontally extending stabilizing element and a vertically extending support element. The stabilizing element is fastened on the cover element. The support element is arranged at least also below the cover element in the vertical direction, wherein an upper end in the vertical direction adjoins the stabilizing element. When the cover element is in the covering position, the support element is arranged in a first recess. If the cover element is in the revealing position, the support element can be brought into a fixed position by horizontal movement of a lower end of the support element in the vertical direction, in which the support element rests on a support counter element. In particular, the support element rests on the support counter element in the fixed position, so that a downward movement of the support element in the vertical direction is prevented. The cover element is thus fixed in the revealing position.

[0007] The core idea of the invention is therefore to prevent a movement of the support element in the vertical direction by resting on the support counter element. This fixing of the support element is transmitted via the support element to the stabilizing element and via the stabilizing element to the cover element, so that the cover element is fixed in the revealing position. A secure fixing of the cover element in the revealing position is thus ensured in the long term.

[0008] If the cover element is in the revealing position, the support element is moved out of the first recess, for example above in the vertical direction. The support element is thus located above the first recess in the vertical direction when the cover element is in the revealing position.

[0009] The child seat receptacle is for example an anchoring device, in particular an Isofix (International Organization for Standardization child safety seat fixing system) assembly, which is fastened on the seat frame and is a component part of the motor vehicle seat.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment of the motor vehicle seat according to the invention, the support counter element is a sub-area of the upper side of the seat element.

[0011] The support counter element can be a hanging batten of the cover of the seat element, that is to say a profile on which the cover of the seat element is fastened.

[0012] In one preferred embodiment of the motor vehicle seat according to the invention, the support counter element is arranged in front of or behind the first recess in the horizontal direction.

[0013] Thus, the support element can be aligned with the recess in horizontal direction, for example, by a movement of its lower end, i.e. the end facing away from the stabilizing element, in vertical direction, that is to say can be brought from a fixed position, in which the covering element is fixed in the revealed position, into a released position, in which the covering element can be brought from the revealed position into the covering position.

[0014] Conversely, the support element can be moved out of the recess, for example, by a movement upwards in height direction, so that the covering element is adjusted into the revealed position. By a subsequent movement of the lower end of the support element in horizontal direction, so that the support element rests on the support mating element, the support element can be brought from the released position into the fixed position, in which the covering element is fixed in the revealed position.

[0015] The support mating element can be connected with the first end of the strap at or in the region of its end facing away from the stabilizing element.

[0016] The strap is fixed, for example, with its second end on the motor vehicle seat, in particular on a seat element, a backrest element and / or a carrier structure, so that the strap limits the movement range of the support element.

[0017] In one exemplary embodiment, the motor vehicle seat according to the application comprises a further strap. The further strap is fixed with a first end on the backrest element, in particular on its back side. The second end of the strap is connected with the support element, in particular via the strap, so that the support element is moved from the fixed position into the released position when the backrest element is pivoted about an axis extending in horizontal direction, in particular in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle seat.

[0018] The further strap is fixed on the strap, for example, via a releasable fixing element, in particular a clip.

[0019] The strap and the further strap extend, for example, rearward in horizontal direction, in particular in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle seat, from the support element.

[0020] In one preferred embodiment of the motor vehicle seat according to the application, the first recess is configured in the seat element, the backrest element and / or between the seat element and the backrest element.

[0021] In one exemplary embodiment of the motor vehicle seat according to the application, the stabilizing element is surrounded by the covering element and / or is fixed on the covering element over its entire length, that is to say over its entire extension in horizontal direction.

[0022] The stabilizing element can be fixed on the covering element partially.

[0023] The cover element is made, for example, of a flexible material.

[0024] The cover element can have an opening at its end facing the support element, through which the stabilizing element emerges from the cover element.

[0025] The stabilizing element can have a higher rigidity than the cover element.

[0026] In one exemplary embodiment, the motor vehicle seat according to the application comprises a resetting element, which automatically adjusts the cover element into the cover position when the support element is aligned with the first opening in the vertical direction, that is to say when the support element is in the released position, in particular due to a prestress in the revealed position of the cover element.

[0027] In order to align the guide element with the first opening in the vertical direction, the guide element can be moved in the horizontal direction in the direction of the first opening from the revealed position.

[0028] In one preferred embodiment of the motor vehicle seat according to the application, the resetting element comprises two elastic straps, whose first ends are fixed to the stabilizing element, respectively, and whose second ends are fixed to the motor vehicle seat, in particular to the seat element, the back element and / or the carrier structure, respectively, such that the elastic straps exert a force acting downward in the vertical direction onto the stabilizing element in the revealed position. Thus, the cover element is automatically moved from the revealed position into the cover position when the support element is in the released position.

[0029] In one exemplary embodiment, the motor vehicle seat according to the application comprises two second openings, which are configured in the seat element, the back element and / or between the seat element and the back element, and through which each of the elastic straps extends.

[0030] The two elastic straps can be connected to each other at their ends facing away from the stabilizing element.

[0031] Alternatively, only one elastic strap can be provided, whose ends are fixed to the stabilizing element and which extends through the two second openings.

[0032] The strap is fixed, for example, in its middle region in the longitudinal extension direction to the seat element, the back element and / or the carrier structure.

[0033] In one preferred embodiment of the motor vehicle seat according to the application, the cover element is fixed at its upper end in the vertical direction to the seat element, in particular sewn to the cover of the seat element.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment of the motor vehicle seat according to the application, the cover element is fixed at its upper end in the vertical direction on the backrest element, in particular sewn to the cover of the backrest element.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the motor vehicle seat according to the application comprises a tab for adjusting the cover element between the covered position and the uncovered position.

[0036] The tab is exposed, for example, not only in the covered position of the cover element but also in the uncovered position of the cover element. Thus, the vehicle occupant can grasp the tab in a simple manner and make the desired adjustment to the cover element.

[0037] The tab can be fixed on the support element, in particular on the front side of the support element and / or in the upper region in the vertical direction.

[0038] The guide element is configured, for example, as a one-piece.

[0039] The guide element can be made of plastic. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0040] The application is explained in more detail below with the aid of embodiments shown in the drawings. In the drawings:

[0041] Figure 1 A front view of a subregion of a motor vehicle seat according to the application is shown, the motor vehicle seat having a cover element in a covered position;

[0042] Figure 2 A further front view of a subregion of a motor vehicle seat in Figure 1 is shown, wherein the cover element is in an uncovered position; and

[0043] Figure 3 A rear view of a subregion of a motor vehicle seat in Figure 1 is shown, wherein the cover element is in a covered position. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] A subregion of a motor vehicle seat 2 according to the application is shown in the drawings. The motor vehicle seat 2 comprises a seat element 22 which extends substantially horizontally and a backrest element 24 which extends substantially vertically.

[0045] A child seat receptacle 4 is configured at the lower end of the backrest element 24. The child seat receptacle 4 is a structural assembly of the Isofix fixing device which is fixed to the vehicle seat. When the cover element 6 is in the covered position, the child seat receptacle 4 is covered by the cover element 6. Figure 1The child seat receiving portion 4 is covered by means of the cover element 6 when it is in the covering position shown in Fig. 1. In order to secure a child seat on the child seat receiving portion 4, the cover element can be guided into the revealing position. In the revealing position, the child seat receiving portion is freely accessible as shown in Fig. 2. Figure 2

[0046] In order to be able to adjust the cover element 6 in a defined manner between the covering position and the revealing position, the motor vehicle seat 2 comprises a guide element 8 and a reset element 26.

[0047] The guide element 8 is a T-shaped plastic element which has a stabilizing element and the guide element 8 in one piece. The stabilizing element consists of the T-shaped head. This extends in the horizontal direction. The guide element 8 is the T-shaped body of the guide element 8 which extends in the vertical direction.

[0048] The cover element 6 is made of a flexible material, in particular of fabric, which is folded together and closed on the open side, for example by means of a seam. At the upper end in the vertical direction, the cover element is fixed, in particular sewn, on the cover of the seat element 22.

[0049] In the lower end region in the vertical direction, the stabilizing element is embedded in the cover element 6. The cover element 6 thus accommodates the stabilizing element inside. The stabilizing element is fixed on the cover element 6. The movement of the stabilizing element thus causes a movement of the cover element 6.

[0050] At the lower edge in the vertical direction, the cover element 6 comprises an opening through which the support element 12 comes out of the cover element 6. The guide element 8 can be adjusted between a securing position and a release position. In the securing position, the support element 12 rests on the support engagement element 18 as shown in Fig. 1. The support engagement element 18 is a hanging slat of the cover of the seat element 22. In the release position, the support element 12 is moved back in the horizontal direction from the securing position, so that the support element 12 is aligned in the vertical direction with the first recess 14 configured in the seat element 22. If the guide element 8 is in the release position, the support element 12 can be introduced into the first recess 14 by a movement downwards in the vertical direction. The support element 12 transfers the movement to the stabilizing element, which in turn transfers the movement to the cover element 6. The cover element 6 is thus guided from the revealing position into the covering position. Figure 2

[0051] ​​To limit the movement of the support element 12, in particular in vertical direction upward, a strap 20 is fixed at the lower end of the support element 12 in vertical direction. The end of the strap 20 facing away from the support element 12 is fixed on the seat element 22, in particular on the back side of the seat element 22. The length of the strap is chosen such that the strap enables the adjustment of the support element 12 into the fixed position, however prevents a further movement of the support element 12 in vertical direction upward.

[0052] On the strap 20 a further strap 28 is fixed via a releasable fixing element 30. By means of the strap the support element 12 is automatically moved from the fixed position into the released position when the backrest element 24 is pivoted forward around the pivot axis extending in motor vehicle seat transverse direction.

[0053] To simplify the adjustment of the cover element 6 from the revealed position into the cover position and to fix the cover element 6 in the cover position, a reset element 26 is provided. The reset element 26 is an elastic strap. The elastic straps are each connected with the first end with the cover element 6, guided through a second recess in the seat element 22 and fixed on the underside of the seat element 22. The length of the elastic straps is chosen such that these exert a force acting in vertical direction downward on the cover element 6 when the cover element is in the revealed position. Thus, when the support element 12 is in the released position, the cover element 6 is automatically moved into the cover position and fixed in this cover position.

[0054] For easier operability, on the front side of the support element 12 in horizontal direction a tab 10 is arranged.
