Vehicle seat with a support for the lower legs

摘要

The invention relates to a vehicle seat ( 1 ) having an automatically displaceable lower leg support ( 3 ). The lower leg support can be displaced in an automatically driven fashion between a stowaway position and a position of use. In order to obtain a compact design of the vehicle seat and a high degree of protection against impact operation, the lower leg support ( 3 ) has a sensor ( 6, 61, 62 ) which is connected to a control device ( 52 ) of the drive ( 5 ). The sensor ( 6 ) is designed to detect an obstacle.
