Abstract
A fastening arrangement for a vehicle seat (4) includes floor fastening elements (20, 21) connected to the vehicle floor and corresponding seat fastening devices (26, 27) attached to the seat (4). The fastening elements (20, 26) situated furthest from the door form in the assembled position a spring-loaded push-in connection. To this end, the floor fastening element (20) has a hole (15) through it and the seat fastening element (26) is provided with a protruding peg (32). The seat is introduced through the door at an angle to the horizontal plane, and the seat fastening element (26) of the push-in connection includes guiding teeth (33) which are applied to a floor guide device (14). The seat (4) is thereafter moved along the guide devoce so that the peg (32) is introduced into the hole (15) in the floor fastening element (20). The opposite side of the seat (4) is then pressed down so that the seat fastening element (27) on that side is brought into a wedging contact with the floor fastening element (21). The seat (4) is locked in the final position by means of a bolt which is fitted by a robot.
