| 20090125194 | VEHICLE COMPRISING A SPRING-MOUNTED VEHICLE SEAT AND A SPRING-MOUNTED VEHICLE CAB, AND SUSPENSION METHOD - There is described a vehicle comprising a spring-mounted vehicle seat ( | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090134595 | APPARATUS COMPRISING A SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A SUSPENSION SYSTEM - An apparatus having a suspension system with a first part which is acted upon by a mass, a second part, and also an air spring arranged between this first part and this second part. At least one supplementary volume device for air is provided, the volume of which can be varied in a controlled manner, and also a first control device for adjusting the volume of the supplementary volume device. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090267392 | VEHICLE SEAT HAVING A DEVICE FOR VEHICLE SEAT OCCUPANCY DETECTION - The invention relates to a vehicle seat having a device for vehicle seat occupancy detection, wherein a base frame which can be adjusted in the height direction of the vehicle seat and which is composed of at least two scissors arms which are connected to one another is arranged between a seat part of the vehicle seat and a vehicle body part, wherein the base frame can be adjusted in the height direction by means of at least one gas spring, wherein the gas spring is connected to a pressure sensor, by means of which an exceeding of a predefinable pressure threshold value can be detected upon a transition of the vehicle seat from an unoccupied state to a state occupied by a minimum weight due to a change in pressure within the gas spring which is brought about as a result of the transition. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090273484 | DEVICE FOR VEHICLE SEAT OCCUPANCY DETECTION - Device for vehicle seat occupancy detection, wherein a base frame which can be adjusted in the height direction of a vehicle seat and which is composed of at least two scissors arms which are connected to one another is arranged between a seat part of the vehicle seat and a vehicle body part, the device comprising a first detector which is attached to at least one of the scissors arms and which, when the vehicle seat is occupied by a minimum weight, detects a predefinable height setting of the scissors arm which is lower than a maximum possible height setting, and at least one spring which is fixed to at least one of the scissors arms and the predefinable pretensioned spring force of which corresponds at most to the downward-acting weight force due to the minimum weight and counteracts the latter. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100181708 | DEVICE FOR SPRINGING A MASS, AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING AND/OR OPERATING A FLUID SPRING - A device for springing a mass including a fluid spring and a frame, in which the fluid spring is arranged between the mass and the frame in such a way that the mass is mounted on the frame in a sprung and/or damped manner. An add-on-fluid volume device for providing an additional fluid volume for the fluid spring includes at least two fluid volume chambers that can be fluidically connected to one another and which have a common, displaceable chamber wall. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100276211 | Detection Device and Method for Detecting Occupancy of a Seat - To allow more reliable detection of occupancy of a seat by a person, the invention includes a detection device for detecting occupancy of a seat, in particular of a vehicle seat or motor vehicle seat, comprising at least one elongate light guide having at least one elongate core element and at least one elongate sheath at a distance from the core element. The light guide is deformable by mechanical actuation means in at least one direction running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the light guide by the deformation brought about by the seat being occupied causes the light to exit from the light guide on the side opposite the mechanical means. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20120025577 | HORIZONTAL SPRINGING MEANS WITH INCLINATION COMPENSATION - The invention relates to a vehicle vibration apparatus with a horizontal spring device for the horizontal springing of a seat element and/or a driver's cab with respect to a base element, wherein the horizontal spring device is arranged between the seat element or the driver's cab respectively and the base element, and comprises at least one spring element, the longitudinal axis of which extends substantially parallel to a surface of the base element, and at least one adjustment element, which reacts automatically to inclinations of the seat element with respect to a horizontal plane and which first increases the spring pre-stressing of the spring element in order subsequently to position the horizontal spring device in the centre of the spring path. | 02-02-2012 |
