Claims
- 1. A vehicle seat, comprising:
a bearing device mounted between components such that the components are, via the bearing device, at least slightly moveable relative to each other in a direction of movement, the bearing device having at least one elastic fastening element connecting the components transversely to the direction of movement.
- 2. A vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the fastening element is elastically deformed, and thereby stressed, while the fastening element is connecting the components.
- 3. A vehicle seat according to claim 2, wherein the fastening element is a spring clamp.
- 4. A vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein:
the components include a first component and a second component, the second component is mounted, by the bearing device, for pivoting about a pivot axis relative to the first component, the first component forms the pivot axis, and the fastening element is fastened to the second component and at least partially surrounds a circumference of the first component.
- 5. A vehicle seat according to claim 4, wherein the fastening element is attached directly to the second component.
- 6. A vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein the bearing device further includes at least one bearing shell positioned between the fastening element and the first component, with the bearing shell being positioned radially with respect to the first component.
- 7. A vehicle seat according to claim 6, wherein the bearing shell is a first bearing shell and the bearing device further includes a second bearing shell formed separately from the first bearing shell, and the first and second bearing shells together virtually completely surround a circumference of the first component.
- 8. A vehicle seat according to claim 6, wherein the bearing shell is integrally formed and virtually completely surrounds a circumference of the first component.
- 9. A vehicle seat according to claim 6, wherein the bearing shell is attached to the fastening element.
- 10. A vehicle seat according to claim 6, wherein the bearing shell is manufactured from a material different from the components.
- 11. A vehicle seat according to claim 1, wherein a first of the components and the bearing device together substantially completely surround a circumference of a second of the components.
- 12. A vehicle seat according to claim 5, wherein the fastening element includes a hook that extends through an opening in the second component for attaching the fastening element to the second component.
- 13. A vehicle seat according to claim 2, wherein the bearing device further includes at least one bearing shell positioned between the fastening element and the first component, with the bearing shell being positioned radially with respect to the first component.
- 14. A vehicle seat according to claim 3, wherein the bearing device further includes at least one bearing shell positioned between the fastening element and the first component, with the bearing shell being positioned radially with respect to the first component.
- 15. A vehicle seat according to claim 4, wherein the bearing device further includes at least one bearing shell positioned between the fastening element and the first component, with the bearing shell being positioned radially with respect to the first component.
- 16. A vehicle seat according to claim 15, wherein the bearing shell is a first bearing shell and the bearing device further includes a second bearing shell formed separately from the first bearing shell, and the first and second bearing shells together at least nearly completely surround a circumference of the first component.
- 17. A vehicle seat according to claim 15, wherein the bearing shell is integrally formed and at least nearly completely surrounds the a circumference of the first component.
- 18. A vehicle seat according to claim 15, wherein the bearing shell is manufactured from a material different from the two components.
- 19. A vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat shell carrying a seat cushion; a seat frame including an elongate component that extends along an axis and at least partially carries the seat shell; and a bearing device by which the seat shell is mounted to the seat frame for pivoting about the axis, wherein:
the bearing device has at least one elastic fastening element extending transversely to the axis and connecting the seat shell to the elongate component, the fastening element is elastically deformed, and thereby stressed, while the fastening element is connecting the seat shell to the elongate component, and the bearing device and the seat shell together substantially completely surround a circumference of the elongate component.
- 20. A vehicle seat according to claim 19, wherein the fastening element includes a spring clamp that is elastically deformed and thereby exerting force, the force at least partially causes the spring clamp to be fastened to the seat shell in a manner that connects the seat shell to the elongate component.
