Abstract
The vehicle seat articulation includes a fixed flange fixed to a first framework of the seat, a mobile flange rigidly connected to a second framework of the seat, a cup member enabling the mobile flange to execute an orbital movement causing an angular movement of the articulation, and a dish member maintaining the mobile flange against the fixed flange. The edge of the dish member is formed with an outer toothing that cooperates with toothings of semi-cut portions of the mobile flange. The toothings of the edge of the dish member and the toothings of the semi-cut portions have each a height equal to twice that of an off-center distance "e" provided between two shoulders of the cup member.
