Patent ID: 8353556

Claim:
A seat carrier arrangement for a vehicle seat ( 48 ) of a utility vehicle, wherein said utility vehicle comprises: a base frame ( 18 ), a vehicle structure ( 10 ) on the front end of the utility vehicle and forward of the base frame ( 18 ), the vehicle structure ( 10 ) forming a deformation zone and comprising an upper and a lower absorber plane ( 12 , 14 ), a seat carrier ( 36 ), which is supported towards the rear on an energy-absorbing deformation element ( 52 ), wherein the seat carrier ( 36 ) is integrated in the vehicle structure ( 10 ), wherein, responsive to application of force introduced by a frontal accident to the vehicle structure ( 10 ): the integrated seat carrier ( 36 ) moves horizontally against the drive direction, the energy-absorbing deformation element ( 52 ) deforms while absorbing energy, and the seat carrier ( 36 ) remains at least essentially dimensionally stable during force application caused by the accident, and wherein the deformation element is at least one of a bending and a torsional carrier ( 52 ).
