Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle seat, comprising a vertically adjustable seat connection arranged between and mechanically interconnecting an upper seat part and a lower seat part. At least one oscillation limiting device is provided to limit a vertical oscillation movement of the upper seat part in a direction away from the lower seat part, is arranged between the lower seat part and the upper seat part, and is rigidly connected to the upper seat part. The oscillation limiting device comprises at least one reel-off element with a presettable reel-off length that determines a maximum deflection height in the vertical direction. The oscillation limiting device limits movement of the upper seat part in the vertical direction, in the direction away from the lower seat part, after reel-off of the presettable reel-off length, without damping.
