Abstract

A seat unit for motor vehicles includes several seat elements such as elements for seat length adjustment, fixing and bearing elements, seat side parts, seat shell and/or gear housing. Preferably, at least two of the seat elements are formed in a one-piece cast part. More particularly, the rail units for longitudinally adjusting the seat are formed as a cast part and further seat elements are molded in one piece on this rail unit. The configuration of the individual parts of the seat unit are optimized to the anticipated load conditions, and the number of parts of the seat unit is reduced.
