Abstract

The invention relates to a device for adjusting a vehicle seat, the frame structure (4, 5, 6) of which can be adjusted using drive motors (40) having presupported gear units (39), and the vehicle seat is accommodated on two seat rails (1, 2) arranged parallel to each other. The frame structure (4, 5, 6) of the vehicle seat can be adjusted spherically using lifting elements (8, 9, 10) in two planes separated from each other.
