VORRICHTUNG ZUR VERRIEGELUNG DER RUECKENLEHNE EINES FAHRZEUGSITZES

摘要

The arresting device for a forwardly inclinable backrest of a vehicle seat comprises a hook-shaped pawl which is pivotably arranged on a lateral side of hinged mounts for the backrest to engage in the normal position of the backrest a stop member projecting from the seat part. The lower arm of the U-shaped porton of the pawl is provided with a claw which in this normal position engages a corresponding nose of a retaining member which is also pivotably supported on the mounting part and is controlled by a manually operable releasing lever. A tension spring arranged between the pawl and the retaining member urges the pawl into a standby position when the latter is released from engagement with the holding member and also urges the holding member into a ready-to-close position.
