Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A seat, especially suitable for a motor vehicle, comprising a shell adapted to carry the padding for said seat, said shell comprising a seat part and a backrest part, each of said parts having a bottom wall and lateral walls projecting upwardly from said bottom wall at both sides thereof, and extending at least along a part of the length of the respective shell part for laterally supporting the occupant of said seat, said lateral wall at each side of said seat part forming a part separate from the adjacent lateral wall of said backrest part, first connecting means for connecting the adjacent ends of said bottoms to each other, and second connecting means for adjustably connecting said lateral walls of at least one side of said shell to each other and adapted to be adjusted so as to vary the inclination of said seat and backrest parts relative to each other, and said bottomconnecting means comprising a connecting strip intermediate the adjacent ends of the bottoms of said seat and backrest parts and securing them to each other and being elastically deformable when said inclination being varied.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words
A seat, especially suitable for a motor vehicle, comprising a shell adapted to carry the padding for said seat, said shell comprising a seat part and a backrest part, each of said parts having a bottom wall and lateral walls projecting upwardly from said bottom wall at both sides thereof, and extending at least along a part of the length of the respective shell part for laterally supporting the occupant of said seat, said lateral wall at each side of said seat part forming a part separate from the adjacent lateral wall of said backrest part, first connecting means for connecting the adjacent ends of said bottoms to each other, and second connecting means for adjustably connecting said lateral walls of at least one side of said shell to each other and adapted to be adjusted so as to vary the inclination of said seat and backrest parts relative to each other, and said bottomconnecting means comprising a connecting strip intermediate the adjacent ends of the bottoms of said seat and backrest parts and securing them to each other and being elastically deformable when said inclination being varied.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A seat as defined in claim 1, in which said connecting strip integrally connects said bottoms of said seat and backrest parts to each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A seat as defined in claim 1, in Which each surface line of said connecting strip extending transverse to the longitudinal direction of said shell is rectilinear.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A seat as defined in claiM 1, in which said connecting strip is provided with parallel reinforcements extending transverse to the longitudinal direction of said shell.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A seat as defined in claim 4, in which said connecting strip is provided with parallel stiffening corrugations forming said reinforcements.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A seat as defined in claim 1, further comprising hinge means for pivotably connecting said lateral walls at each side of said shell to each other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A seat as defined in claim 1, further comprising hinge means for pivotably connecting said lateral walls at both sides of said shell to each other and having a common axis located closely adjacent to said connecting strips.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
61 words
A seat as defined in claim 1, further comprising hinge means for pivotably connecting said lateral walls at both sides of said shell to each other and having a common axis spaced from the upper surface of said connecting strip, said connecting strip being adapted to expand or contract in the longitudinal direction of said shell when said inclination is varied.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
A seat as defined in claim 8, in which said connecting strip has a substantially bellowslike cross section.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
50 words
A seat as defined in claim 1, in which said two shell parts form two separate elements, said first connecting means forming hinge members pivotably connecting the adjacent ends of both sides of said shell parts to each other and having a common axis located closely adjacent to said bottoms.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
40 words
A seat as defined in claim 10, further comprising a rod-shaped member extending transverse to the longitudinal direction of said shell and positively connecting said hinge members at the opposite sides of one of said shell parts to each other.
