The invention relates to a vehicle seat with a seat part (11); a backrest (10); a latch fitting (91) which connects the backrest (10) to the seat part (11) in a pivotal manner about a pivot axis and which holds the backrest 10 in an upright seating position relative to the seat part (11) in a locked state and allows the backrest (10) to be pivoted and folded forwards relative to the seat part (11) in an unlocked state; a longitudinal adjusting device for longitudinally adjusting the vehicle seat, comprising a locking unit which holds the vehicle seat in a set longitudinal position in a locked state and allows a longitudinal adjustment of the vehicle seat in an unlocked state; and an easy-entry control unit which is connected to an operating element that triggers an easy-entry function in order to unlock the latch fitting and the locking unit. An electromechanical actuator (6, 7), which is actuated by the easy-entry control unit, unlocks the locking unit via a mechanical interface (52) in order to provide the easy-entry function when a specified pivot angle is exceeded upon folding the backrest (10) forwards, and after the easy entry function has been concluded and the backrest (10) has been folded back into the upright seating position, the electromechanical actuator locks the locking unit in the set longitudinal position.

The invention relates to a massage device for a vehicle seat, comprising at least one massage element which moves a contact surface of the vehicle seat by means of an electromechanical actuator for massaging a passenger on the vehicle seat. Said invention is characterized in that said massage element (3) comprises a spring element (4, 4a–4c), the shape of which can change with respect to the contact surface of the vehicle seat (2) by a return element (5, 6, 7) containing the electromechanical actuator (6).
A motor assembly with an electric motor has a stator assembly and a motor housing, and an electronics housing. The electronics housing has a housing shell, formed as a motor carrier, for fastening the motor housing. The motor housing has a first, pot-shaped housing half. The first housing half is fastened by screw fastening action to the motor carrier such that the first housing half presses the electric motor against the motor carrier by way of a housing deformation.
