Abstract
A vehicle seat comprising a seatback mounted pivoting by an articulation mechanism selectively lockable and unlockable, relative to a seatback footing selectively lockable and unlockable on a base, where the seat further comprises a seat cushion, first and second rear connecting rods connecting the seatback to the base, an actuating device being configured, by rotation of the first rear connecting rod, for driving the seatback into a folded down position when the articulation mechanism is unlocked and the seatback footing is locked on the base, and for driving the seat in a forward tilted position when the seatback footing is unlocked and the articulation mechanism is locked.
Claims9
A vehicle seat comprising:
- a seatback;
- a seat cushion comprising at least one longitudinal connecting rod;
- a base;
- a seatback footing mounted on the base, where a locking device is selectively lockable for locking the seatback footing on the base and unlockable for releasing the seatback footing, and the released seatback footing is rotationally mobile relative to the base;
- wherein the seatback is mounted pivoting on the seatback footing around a first pivot by an articulation mechanism suited for adjusting an angular position of the seatback, where the articulation mechanism is mobile between a locked position where the seatback is immobilized relative to the seatback footing, and an unlocked position where the seatback can pivot relative to the seatback footing around the first pivot;
- wherein the seat cushion is mounted pivoting on the seatback footing around a second pivot parallel to the first pivot, and where said seat cushion is born by at least one front connecting rod connected pivotably to the seat cushion by a third pivot and to the base by a fourth pivot, where the front connecting rod is mobile between a raised position for normal use of the seat and a position tilted forward;
- wherein the seatback is connected to the base by a first rear connecting rod mounted pivoting on a second rear connecting rod by a fifth pivot, where the first rear connecting rod is mounted pivoting on the base by a sixth pivot, where the second rear connecting rod is mounted pivoting on the seatback by a seventh pivot, and where the fifth, sixth and seventh pivots are parallel to the first pivot the seat further comprising an actuating device configured for actuating the first rear connecting rod in rotation around the sixth pivot.
