AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing vehicle seats with adjustable backrests often require additional parts for limiting the rotation range, which can be cumbersome and susceptible to manufacturing tolerances, and do not easily accommodate customer-specific adjustments.

Method used

A vehicle seat design with integrated rotation limiting means, such as toothed rims and a housing part, limits backrest rotation using inner and outer positive and/or non-positive connections, eliminating the need for additional parts and reducing susceptibility to manufacturing tolerances.

Benefits of technology

The solution provides a seamless rotation limitation without additional components, allowing for customer-specific adjustments and improved manufacturing consistency.
