Abstract
In the case of a vehicle seat (1), in particular a motor vehicle seat, having a seat cushion (3) and a backrest (4) which are connected movably and/or releasably to the vehicle structure (S), it being possible for the vehicle seat (1) to be transferred from a design position into at least one other position, the backrest (4) is coupled to the vehicle structure (S) by way of at least one link (12, 14), a pivoting movement of the provided links (12, 14) at least in phases predetermining a displacement of the backrest (4) forward, as a result of which the vehicle seat (1) takes up a front use position.
Claims19
A vehicle seat for being connected to a vehicle structure, the vehicle seat comprising:
- a seat cushion for extending at least generally horizontally in a use position of the vehicle seat;
- a backrest for extending uprightly from proximate the seat cushion during the use position;
- a coupler for being releasably locked to the seat cushion;
- and
- at least one front link for being at least indirectly connected to the vehicle structure, wherein
- the seat cushion, the front link and the coupler are cooperative to at least partially define a multi-bar linkage while the coupler is unlocked with respect to the seat cushion, and the multi-bar linkage is operative so that
- the vehicle seat can be transferred from the use position to a package position by reconfiguring the multi-bar linkage, and
- the reconfiguring of the multi-bar linkage comprises the seat cushion pivoting upward so that the front link and the coupler are stretched-out with respect to one another while the vehicle seat is in the package position.
