Abstract
A motor vehicle seat comprising a seat carrier, which is connected on one hand via a height adjustment device, to which belongs a back link, with an underframe and to which on the other hand a back rest support of a back rest is arranged, which on one hand is coupled via a joint to the seat carrier and on the other hand is normally connected via a detachable stop device with a seat carrier in such a way that after the stop device has been released the back rest is moved around the joint in a swinging motion and can thereby be shifted forward. At the same time a locking device has been released, which is preferably allocated to the back link. The seat carrier can be shifted forward in such a way that on the whole the space behind the motor vehicle seat is made larger and the access to this space is made easier. The back rest support has an extension, which extends the back rest support over the joint. A tension bar, which is not resistant to pressure acts upon the extension on one hand and on the other hand at the back link that is designed in such a way that when tilting up the back rest, which is shifted forward, the tension bar, which is resistant to pressure, effects a tensile force onto the back link and thereby the seat carrier, which is also shifted forward is tilted back at the same time.
