SAFETY DEVICE FOR AN AUTOMOTIVE SEAT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a safety device for an automotive seat (1) comprising a seat surface (3) extending along a seat longitudinal direction (X) to be occupied by an individual (2) sitting on the seat surface (3), a safety element (4) associated with the seat surface (3) and an adjusting device (5) functionally linked with the safety element (4) and adjusting the safety element (4) in the event of a crash from a reclining position (R) to a safety position (S) and returning the safety element (4) from the safety position (S) to the reclining position (R). The safety element (4), in the safety position (S) and without changing the spatial position thereof, acts upon the seat surface (3) in such a manner that the seat surface (3) and the safety element (4) counteract a forward displacement in the seat longitudinal direction (X) of the pelvis of an individual (2) sitting on the seat surface (3). The adjusting device (5) is adapted and configured to adjust the safety element (4) to at least one intermediate position (Z) between the safety position (S) and the reclining position (R).
