Abstract:
1. An adjusting device for adjusting two vehicle parts relative to each other, in particular for the longitudinal setting of a vehicle seat, the adjusting device comprising: an adjusting gear unit arranged on a first vehicle part, a spindle arranged on a second vehicle part, the spindle extending along a longitudinal direction and being in engagement with the adjusting gear unit, wherein the adjusting gear unit is movable along the spindle for adjusting the first vehicle part relative to the second vehicle part, and a reinforcement part which supports the adjusting gear unit with respect to the first vehicle part in the longitudinal direction of the spindle such that, due to the reinforcement part, the adjusting gear unit is supported with respect to the first vehicle part with a first rigidity when forces are introduced in the longitudinal direction from the first vehicle part into the adjusting gear unit and with a second rigidity smaller than the first rigidity when forces are introduced in a direction opposite to the longitudinal direction, wherein a connection of the adjusting gear unit to the first vehicle part permits, due to the supporting effect of the reinforcement part, a first offset between the first vehicle part and the second vehicle part by at most a first distance when forces are introduced in the longitudinal direction from the first vehicle part into the adjusting gear unit, and permits a second offset between the first vehicle part and the second vehicle part by a second distance larger than the first distance when forces are introduced in a direction opposite to the longitudinal direction from the first vehicle part into the adjusting gear unit.
