Abstract
A reclining seat comprises a fixed supporting frame, a reclining backrest, a sitting portion and a stiffening mechanism with reduced overall dimensions, which in turn comprises, at lower ends of frame elements forming the seat frame, a lever which is revolvingly hinged on a respective pin integral with the supporting frame and forming a rocker arm which rotates by a pre-fixed angle from a first position, corresponding to the reclining backrest in erected position, to a second position, corresponding to the reclining backrest in reclined position, a stiff tie-rod being provided the ends thereof are joined to the respective distal ends of the rocker arms, thereby the rotation of one of them causes the rotation by an angle having the same width of the other rocker arm.
