Abstract

A possibility for controlling and supplying energy to a larger number of restraint means components in a vehicle seat that can be installed in variable fashion, this possibility being able to be realized using a constructively simple and robust electrical connection, so that this connection in particular also withstands the mechanical stresses that occur during the installation and removal of the vehicle seat. For this purpose, the vehicle seat is equipped with at least one system bus for controlling and supplying energy to the individual restraint means components of the vehicle seat. In addition, means are provided for the electrical contacting of the system bus during the installation of the vehicle seat.
