Swivelable vehicle seat comprising a locking means for creating a manually surmountable resistance

Abstract

Disclosed is a motor vehicle seat comprising a first mounting part and a second mounting part. The first mounting part can be swiveled relative to the second mounting part about a swivel pin. The vehicle seat further comprises a gear unit which allows the first mounting part to be angularly adjusted relative to the second mounting part. The first mounting part is connected to a backrest of the vehicle seat while the second mounting part is connected to a seat part of the vehicle seat. The backrest of the vehicle seat extends vertically and substantially perpendicular to the seat part in a first position while being swiveled relative to the first position about the swivel pin in a second position. The vehicle seat also comprises a locking means (6) which encompasses at least one locking surface (15, 15′) and causes the first mounting part and the second mounting part to interlock in the second position in such a way that a manually surmountable resistance is created that makes it more difficult to swivel the backrest into the first position. In the second position, the locking surfaces of the locking means are arranged on top of one another, in a radial direction relative to the swivel pin.
