Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle seat according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a motor vehicle seat comprises a backrest which has on its front side a support surface for supporting the back of a seated on the motor vehicle seat in normal position vehicle occupant, and a headrest which defines on its front side a support surface for supporting the head of the seated in normal position on the vehicle seat occupants
  • the backrest is formed by a backrest base part and a tiltable backrest upper part, which are held by a locking mechanism in a defined position to each other in which they form a predetermined support surface for the back of a vehicle occupant.

  • the tilting of the backrest upper part in a crash case should therefore avoid the occurrence of a whiplash injury in the rear crash by minimizing the Reiativiolo and relative acceleration between the vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae.
  • the invention is based on the problem of further improving a motor vehicle seat of the type mentioned above with regard to the behavior in the event of a crash, in particular a rear crash.

  • This minimum force is chosen so that it corresponds to the minimum accelerations typically occurring in a crash case, z. At least 3 * g or 4 * g, where g denotes the gravitational acceleration.

In particular, large differences in acceleration between the head and upper chest area of the vehicle occupant are prevented.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un siège de véhicule comportant un dossier présentant, sur son côté avant, une surface support destinée à supporter le dos d'un occupant assis sur le siège, et un appuie-tête présentant, sur son côté avant, une surface support destinée à supporter la tête d'un occupant assis sur le siège. Ledit dossier comporte une partie inférieure de dossier et une partie supérieure de dossier pouvant être inclinée par rapport à la partie inférieure, présentant, sur leur côté avant respectif, une surface d'appui. Les deux parties de dossier sont disposées de telle manière l'une par rapport à l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme de verrouillage que leurs surface d'appui forment une surface support définie destinée à supporter le dos d'un occupant assis sur le siège et qu'en cas d'accident, la partie supérieure de dossier puisse être inclinée vers l'arrière, contre l'action du mécanisme de verrouillage, de manière à être éloignée du dos d'un occupant assis sur le siège. Selon l'invention, l'appuie-tête (3) est disposé et/ou peut être déplacé de telle manière lors de l'inclinaison de la partie supérieure de dossier (2) que la surface support (30) de l'appuie-tête ne soit pas inclinée vers l'arrière de façon commune avec la surface d'appui (20) de la partie supérieure de dossier (2).
