Abstract
A vehicle seat has a seat frame and a backrest retained pivotally thereon. Pairs of front and rear legs are articulated on the seat frame and are intended for fastening the seat frame on the vehicle floor. The rear legs are locked releasably on the vehicle floor for the purpose of pivoting the seat cushion upwards and are coupled so as to be forced to move with the pivoting movement of the seat cushion, such that they fold onto the seat frame during the pivoting operation. For the purpose of achieving a cost-effective, rattle-free pivoting mechanism for the rear legs, the front legs are assigned a first belt pulley and the rear legs are assigned a second belt pulley, and the two belt pulleys are connected to one another via a drive belt. Each belt pulley is arranged, on the associated legs, coaxially with respect to the articulation point of the legs on the seat frame and is connected in a rotationally mixed manner to at least one leg.
