A vehicle seat has a seat proper fitted with an integrated armrest which is movable between a retracted position where the armrest forms an integral portion of the seat proper and a raised position where the armrest is moved upwards and rearwards by a strut mechanism, with the armrest then resting on a rear portion of the seat proper.

Vehicle seat including an armrest integrated in the seat proper

A vehicle seat includes a seat part which is formed by a cushion secured to a first armature itself supported by a second armature on which the backrest is mounted, it being possible for the first armature to be moved back and forth with respect to the second armature. The first armature includes a rear part which is suspended from the second-armature by at least one rear connecting piece, and the first armature further includes a front part which is linked to the second armature by a front mechanism compatible with the rocking motion of the rear part of the first armature. When a user is seated in the seat, the first armature is urged backward by the weight of the user.

Vehicle seat with adjustable seat part length

The seat comprises several swivelling pins parallel with each other and about which the seat nose pivots successively from a given position to a following one, while the seat nose has the general shape of a polygon, the successive sides of which have increasing lengths. The position of said pins in relation to said sides is such that the seat nose surface facing upwards in each one of said positions is substantially in prolongation of the top surface of the cushion and in close proximity to it.
