The automobile vehicle seat features a seat back hinged on the seat pan and device for blocking the seat back with respect to the seat pan in the event of forward impact. The automobile vehicle seat features a height adjustment mechanism. The device for blocking the seat back includes a cam pivot-mounted on the shaft, and a weight joined to the cam, with the cam arranged so upon impact the cam, pivots by the inertia of the weight and the cam engages with a lower edge of the seat back frame, such that pivoting of the seat back is prevented by bracing of the cam against the lower edge and such that this produces a high radial force on the height adjustment shaft, thereby limiting the possibilities of rotation of the height adjustment shaft.

Vehicle seat comprising a cushion and a backrest pivoting with respect to the cushion about a horizontal pivot axis by means of an articulation between a range of erect positions of use, a folded-flat position and an intermediate folded-down position. This seat comprises a first, a second and a third control member connecting the cushion to the backrest, one of the first, second and third control members being distinct from the other two.

A motor vehicle seat has a strength-member for its back that includes an upper portion pivotally mounted on a lower portion and carrying a headrest, the two portions of the strength-member are connected together by a locking device which holds them together and which is dimensioned to give way when the back of a passenger bears against a thrust member of the upper portion of the strength-member in the event of an impact from behind, such that the upper portion of the seat-back strength-member and the upper region of the front face of the seat-back then pivot forwards together with the headrest, with this movement being braked by an energy absorber device.
