Abstract:
A vehicle seat depth adjuster ( 1 ) includes a base plate ( 2 ) connectable to a seat structure ( 17 ); a detent unit ( 8 ); a carrier plate ( 3 ) moveably arranged above the base plate; a locking unit ( 4 ) detachably engaging the detent unit; and a drive unit ( 11 ) moving the carrier plate. The carrier plate is fixed in relation to the base plate in an engaged position of the locking unit and is moveable, between a retracted position and an extended position in a released position of the locking unit by the drive unit. The detent unit is arranged on the upper side ( 2.5 ) of the base plate, which faces the carrier plate, and includes receiving elements ( 8.1 ) staggered in the direction (L) of movement. The locking unit includes an unlocking lever ( 5 ) with at least one locking tooth ( 5.1 ) that engages in one of the detent receiving elements in the engaged position.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for mounting a seat depth adjuster, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing the depth seat adjuster comprising a base plate which is connectable to a seat structure of the vehicle seat and which comprises a latching unit, a carrier plate which is arranged above the base plate and which is displaceable relative to the base plate, a locking unit which is releasably latched in the latching unit and a drive unit which acts on the carrier plate in the direction of displacement wherein the carrier plate is fixed relative to the base plate in a latched position of the locking unit and is displaceable between a retracted position and an extended position in a released position of the locking unit and the drive unit causes a displacement of the carrier plate into the extended position, in the released position of the locking unit, the latching unit is arranged on an upper face of the base plate, facing the carrier plate, and comprises latching receivers which are offset in the direction of displacement and the locking unit comprises an unlocking lever with at least one locking tooth which engages in one of the latching receivers in a latched manner in the latched position; providing the base comprising through-bores, for receiving fastening elements for fixing the base plate to the seat structure, and domes which protrude vertically from a base plate lower face; positioning the base plate onto the seat structure in a vertical Z-direction with a pre-positioning by means of the domes; and fixing the base plate by the fastening elements to the seat structure.
