MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT

摘要

The invention relates to a motor vehicle seat comprising a backrest that is pivotally mounted, whose inclination can be adjusted. Said backrest has a front face that supports the back of a seat occupant. The seat also comprises a spring assembly containing at least one elastic element, which elastically pre-stresses the backrest in such a way that it tends to pivot forwards, its front face coming to rest against the back of the seat occupant. The inclination of the backrest can be adjusted by the exertion of force on its front face in opposition to the action of the spring assembly. According to the invention, the spring assembly (D, L) acts on a gear element (4) that is coupled to the backrest (R). A locking device (5) is allocated to the gear element (4), permitting the latter to be locked in different positions.
