Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A seat, particularly a power vehicle seat, comprising a seat part; a back part; two seat rail elements arranged at both longitudinal sides and connectable with a vehicle bottom, each of said seat rail elements including an elongated guide rail and a movable rail displaceable along said guide rail, said movable rail including a carrying member and a holding member connected with one another so that said movable rail is T-shaped; means for fixedly connecting said carrying member with said holding member; a hinge pivotally connecting said back part with said seat part, said hinge having a pivot axle and two axially adjacent hinge parts which are arranged on said pivot axle pivotally relative to one another and include position adjusting and fixing means, one of said hinge parts being fixedly connected with said carrying member of said T-shaped movable rails, whereas the other of said hinge parts is connected with said back part and at least partially surrounded and held by said holding member of said T-shaped movable rail so that said movable T-shaped rail axially assembles and holds together said hinge parts of said hinge.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
187 words
A seat, particularly a power vehicle seat, comprising a seat part; a back part; two seat rail elements arranged at both longitudinal sides and connectable with a vehicle bottom, each of said seat rail elements including an elongated guide rail and a movable rail displaceable along said guide rail, said movable rail including a carrying member and a holding member connected with one another so that said movable rail is T-shaped; means for fixedly connecting said carrying member with said holding member; a hinge pivotally connecting said back part with said seat part, said hinge having a pivot axle and two axially adjacent hinge parts which are arranged on said pivot axle pivotally relative to one another and include position adjusting and fixing means, one of said hinge parts being fixedly connected with said carrying member of said T-shaped movable rails, whereas the other of said hinge parts is connected with said back part and at least partially surrounded and held by said holding member of said T-shaped movable rail so that said movable T-shaped rail axially assembles and holds together said hinge parts of said hinge.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
