Definitions
- the invention relates to a seat adjustment device for a seat and a seat, in particular a vehicle seat, with such a seat adjustment device.
- a longitudinal seat adjustment device generally comprises two pairs of rails which are arranged at a distance from one another and are each made up of two rails, an upper rail which is allocated to the seat and a lower rail which is allocated to the floor of a vehicle.
- the longitudinal seat adjustment device also includes at least one spring-loaded, movable, plate-shaped locking part that is held on the upper rail and, in a locking position, blocks movement of the upper rail in the lower rail.
- the lower rail can have openings, while the upper rail is provided with openings and the locking part carries projections on its two opposite longitudinal sides, which can be moved in the locking position by a spring both into the openings and into the openings.
- Such a longitudinal seat adjustment device is known, for example, from European Patent EP 1 227 950 B1.

- the advantages achieved with the invention are, in particular, that by means of such a particularly pretensioned, for example spring-loaded, locking element with a projection that makes contact with the upper rail in the locking position and a projection that makes contact with the lower rail in the locking position, a particularly simple release from play can be achieved between bottom rail (also called guide rail) and top rail (also called rail runner) is possible.
- a simple clamping and catching function for the locking element is given without additional components by using a combined movement of rotary movement and pulling movement.
- the locking element is kept biased by a spring element.
- a blocking element enables a catching function for the locking element in the locking position in order to to keep development element in its locked position and thus to lock the pair of rails.
- This catching function and thus the blocking of the locking element by the blocking element is bypassed by means of a combined rotary movement and pulling movement of the locking element when it is unlocked, so that the pair of rails is unlocked and the upper rail can be moved, in particular adjusted, relative to the lower rail.
- the front, in particular the frontmost, projection and the rear, in particular the rearmost, projection each have at least one conical area.
- At least one or more intermediate projections arranged between this front projection and this rear projection preferably have a straight shape or a rectangular shape and are designed without contact with the upper rail and lower rail.
- the locking element can, for example, be tensioned in the locking position in such a way that a conical area of the front projection is pressed against the lower rail and a conical area of the rear projection is pressed against the upper rail or vice versa, so that the lower rail and the upper rail are free of play in relation to one another in the locking position are asked.
- This enables a particularly low-noise locking of the longitudinal seat adjustment device.
- no further additional components are required for free play.

- the conical areas, for example wedge-shaped areas, of the front projection and the rear projection press against rail recesses, such as breakthroughs and/or openings in the upper rail and in the lower rail to generate a clamping force or restraining force and a load absorption, in particular one Load transfer to the top rail and the bottom rail.
- the conical area has a corresponding wedge angle.
- a correspondingly large wedge angle also known as a clamping angle
- a friction angle is provided in the respective conical area.
- a wedge angle also known as a friction angle
- the intermediate projections can be designed in such a way that when the longitudinal seat adjustment device is subjected to mechanical stress, in particular in the longitudinal direction, these intermediate projections only engage in the lower rail and/or in the upper rail in a load-bearing manner.
- the intermediate projections can absorb higher loads, in particular longitudinal loads, for example crash loads in the longitudinal direction.
- the front projection and the rear projection and the intermediate projections can be designed in such a way that when the longitudinal seat adjustment device is mechanically stressed, the front projection first projects into the bottom rail and the rear projection into the top rail or conversely engage in a clamping or self-locking and load-bearing manner and, in the event of further mechanical stress, the intermediate projections also engage in the upper rail and/or in the lower rail in a load-bearing manner.
- a stepped load absorption and load dissipation is made possible in a simple manner.

- the only area of contact, particularly seen in the longitudinal direction, with the lower rail is formed, for example, between the rear projection and the lower rail or between the front projection and the lower rail.
- the front projection contacts the head rail when the rear tere projection contacted with the bottom rail.
- the rear projection contacts the top rail when the front projection contacts the bottom rail.
