Abstract
A tilting structure for tilting a motor vehicle seat has a seat having a seat cushion, a tilting mechanism disposed underneath the seat cushion for tilting the seat cushion upwardly about a front end thereof to hold the seat cushion and a backrest aligned with each other in a fully flat configuration when the backrest is tilted down rearward, a joint device separably connecting a rear end of the seat cushion to the tilting mechanism, and a cover disposed between the seat cushion and the tilting mechanism and covering the tilting mechanism. The tilting structure can maintain the seat cushion and the backrest fully flat in alignment with each other, and also can tilt the seat cushion up forward.
