Abstract
The backrest of a seat is linked to the seat part by a pivot mechanism comprising two plates which can be joined by means of toothed bearing plates controlled by a cam. To allow the backrest of the seat to be folded down forwards and this backrest then returned to its initial position, the cam of the pivot mechanism co-operates with an outer indexing mechanism, which comprises a control lever joined to this cam by a mechanical link with a lost motion designed so that operation of the cam will not cause the operating lever to be displaced and so that when the operating lever is operated, the cam will be driven in displacement into its locked position.
