Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A motor vehicle seat with an integrated child seat, comprising: a seat surface with at least two seat surface parts, means for providing relative movement between one of said at least two seat surface parts and the other of said seat surface parts, said one seat surface part is movable to a desired position above a rear seat area of the other of said seat surface parts by said means for providing relative movement, wherein a widened forward seat area of the movable seat surface part always remains forward of a rearward seat area of the movable seat surface part as viewed in a vehicle driving direction, a separable impact body configured to be selectively used and supported on said widened forward seat area of the movable seat surface part, and wherein the widened forward seat area of the movable seat surface part has at least a width corresponding to a width of the selectively used impact body for supporting the impact body thereon, and the rearward seat area of said one seat surface part has a substantially smaller width than the forward seat area and the impact body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
The motor vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the seat includes lateral holding parts which flank and are operatively connected with said movable seat surface part by said means for providing relative movement to provide a swivelling movement of the movable seat surface part to a raised position.
