Abstract
Described is an apparatus for adjusting the inclination of a seat squab ( ) of a vehicle seat ( ), wherein the device ( ) has a rocker ( ) with an upper and a lower rocker element ( ) which are pivotably movably connected together by lateral bearing bushes ( ). Fixed to the upper rocker element ( ) is a toothed bridge ( ) with mutually oppositely disposed bridge tooth arrangements ( ) which are concentric with respect to the bearing bushes ( ). Provided between the two bridge tooth arrangements ( ) of the toothed bridge ( ) are two toothed sliders ( ) with slider tooth arrangements ( ). Provided between the two toothed sliders ( ) is a locking member ( ) rotatable about a rotary axis ( ) extending through the bearing bushes ( ). The two toothed sliders ( ) are linearly movably guided on the lower rocker element ( ) between a locking position and a release and adjusting position. Provided between the rotary axis ( ) and the lower rocker element ( ) is a prestressed spring element ( ) which urges the two toothed sliders ( ) self-lockingly into the locking position.
