Abstract
A series of vehicle seats, in particular airline passenger seats, which can be adjusted from three seats of normal width to two seats of enlarged width and vice versa, displays a coupling device through which two side parts of the seat back of the middle seat can be connected alternatively with the middle part or the seat backs of both outside seats. The coupling device connects the gear with the hand lever through a telescopically elongatable shaft only in the swinging area of a hand lever used for an adjustment between the middle position and an end position. The elongatable shaft includes a first section equipped with a spline bore hub and a second section that can be shifted axially relative to the first, which is formed on one part of its length like a spline shaft which only meshes with the spline bore hub when the gears connect.
