Abstract
A seat for an automobile or other vehicle includes a seat part and an adjable back-rest part. The two parts are connected pivotally by a linkage which includes an eccentric disc having a large ratio of diameter to thickness. The disc engages in a recess in the back-rest part and is mounted on the seat part for rotation whereby the inclination of the two parts can be adjusted without relative translational movement between the two parts.
