ABSTRACT:
An adjustment fitting for a seat such as an automobile seat including a fixed fitting operatively attached to a fixed seat area and a fitting that is operatively attached to a moveable seat area. The adjustment fitting is adjustable via a rotatable fitting. The fixed fitting part and fitting are connected together via a rotating adjusting device. Thus, an adjustment and locking mechanism that determines a position of the fixed fitting part and fitting with respect to each other provides a wobble drive. The rotating adjusting device includes a driven rotating adjusting element and an eccentric element rotatable about a swivel axis. The eccentric element includes crimped wedge segments having wide faces pushed apart by a spring. The eccentric ring is rotatable on a bearing shell with radial play that includes an outer bearing surface of Teflon. The bearing shell grips a collar of the fitting part that supports a collar of the driven rotating adjusting element so that it may rotate. The rotating adjusting element includes fixed followers that rest on the narrow faces of the wedge segments and are displaced with respect to the eccentric ring.
