Abstract
Device for a vehicle seat for adjusting the inclination of a backrest, which extends in a backrest longitudinal direction, relative to a seat part, an inclination-adjusting apparatus, which can rotate about a first axis of rotation extending in the vehicle seat width direction, of the device for adjusting the backrest inclination being connected to the seat part, and a coil spring of the device being connected to the inclination-adjusting apparatus at one end and to the seat part at the other end, the device comprising the inclination-adjusting apparatus, an adapter element, which can rotate about the first axis of rotation, is rigidly connected to the inclination-adjusting apparatus and comprises a first stop element, a coil spring that can rotate about the first axis of rotation and comprises both a first coil spring end, which is arranged so as not to move relative to the adapter element, and a second coil spring end, and a second stop element, which is connected to the seat part in such a way that it does not move, and the second coil spring end being in operative contact with the first stop element when a first angle between the backrest longitudinal direction and a vehicle seat longitudinal direction is smaller than a limit angle, and being in operative contact with the second stop element when a first angle is greater than the limit angle.
