Patent ID: 8720999

Claim:
A fitting for a vehicle seat, comprising: a first fitting part; a second fitting part which is rotatable relative to the first fitting part about an axis; an eccentric rotatably supported about the axis; and a plurality of latches which are guided by the first fitting part by guides such that the plurality of latches are guidable in a radial direction relative to the axis, the eccentric being capable to act on the plurality of latches such that the plurality of latches move radially outward, the plurality of latches being configured to interact radially outward with the second fitting part, wherein a gap is formed between the latches and the guides, wherein the first fitting part defines a rotational bearing seat having a center, the second fitting part defines a rotational bearing seat having a center, and the guides each define one center line, wherein the center lines of the guides intersect in a common intersection point which coincides with the center of the rotational bearing seat of the second fitting part, wherein at least one of (a) the center of the rotational bearing seat of the first fitting part is offset with respect to the common intersection point of the center lines by an offset, (b) center lines of diagonally opposed guides are offset in parallel to each other such that an intersection quadrangle with diagonals is defined with a longer diagonal of the intersection quadrangle forming an offset, and (c) a combination thereof, wherein the first fitting part is provided with guide segments, wherein a pair of the guide segments define one guide each for exactly one latch from the plurality of latches, and wherein the second fitting part is supported by the rotational bearing seat of the first fitting part.
