Abstract:
1. A spindle bearing arrangement for a longitudinal seat adjustment gear, said arrangement comprising: a housing that is operably attached to an attachment device of said seat adjustment gear to an external vehicle: (a) whereby a spindle opening for guiding a spindle is guided along a spindle opening axis through said housing; said spindle opening having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of said spindle; (b) whereby an inner thread is formed in a spindle nut and said spindle nut is adjustably supported in said housing relative to said spindle opening axis so as to threadably engage said spindle during a guiding of said spindle therethrough, operable to permit: (c) said housing defining a bounded cylindrical space arranged perpendicular to said spindle opening axis; (d) said spindle nut being a cylindrical body and defining a spindle nut rotating axis perpendicular to said spindle opening axis; (e) said spindle nut being operable about said spindle nut rotating axis a pivotable shifting angle in a direction lateral to said spindle opening axis during said guiding; and (f) said spindle nut pivotably and shiftably received in said bounded cylindrical space in said housing thereby enabling said slidable shifting and said pivotable shifting during said guiding.
