Vehicle Seat Bracket and Vehicle Seat - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18278689 titled 'Vehicle Seat Bracket and Vehicle Seat

The patent application describes a vehicle seat bracket with upper and lower rail arrangements that allow for relative longitudinal displaceability in the longitudinal direction of the lower rail.

The upper rail arrangement consists of a first upper rail module coupled to the vehicle seat and a second upper rail module connected to the first module by a connecting element.
Both upper rail modules are movable along the lower rail, with the first module featuring an electromechanical drive arrangement for longitudinal displaceability.
The second upper rail module includes a releasable mechanical locking device to couple or decouple the upper and lower rail arrangements.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for adjustable vehicle seats - Public transportation for adjustable seating arrangements

Problems Solved: - Provides a mechanism for easy adjustment of vehicle seats - Ensures secure locking of upper and lower rail arrangements

Benefits: - Enhanced comfort for passengers - Improved safety with secure locking mechanism

Commercial Applications: Title: Adjustable Vehicle Seat Bracket Technology This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry to create adjustable vehicle seats for various types of vehicles, including cars, buses, and trains. The market implications include increased comfort and safety for passengers, leading to potential partnerships with vehicle manufacturers.

Questions about Adjustable Vehicle Seat Bracket Technology: 1. How does the electromechanical drive arrangement work in the first upper rail module? The electromechanical drive arrangement in the first upper rail module allows for the longitudinal displaceability of the vehicle seat relative to the lower rail.

2. What are the key benefits of the releasable mechanical locking device in the second upper rail module? The releasable mechanical locking device in the second upper rail module ensures a secure coupling of the upper and lower rail arrangements, providing stability and safety for passengers.

Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle seat bracket, with at least one lower rail which is fixed to the vehicle, and with at least one upper rail arrangement which is coupled to a vehicle seat and interacts with the at least one lower rail for the relative longitudinal displaceability in the longitudinal direction of the lower rail, is characterized in that the at least one upper rail arrangement has a first upper rail module, which is coupled to the vehicle seat, and a second upper rail module, which is connected by a connecting element to the first upper rail module. The two upper rail modules are movable along the lower rail. The first upper rail module is provided with an electromechanical drive arrangement for the longitudinal displaceability relative to the lower rail. The second upper rail module has a releasable mechanical locking device which is designed to couple the upper rail arrangement and the lower rail to one another in a locked state and to decouple them from one another in a decoupled state.
