Abstract
A seat includes at least one inclinably adjustable seat component, such as a seat section (), whose seat frame structure can be disposed on a floor structure () in such a way that the seating section is pivotable around its stationary legs (). The pairs of stationary legs () in the region of the front edge () and the rear edge () of the seating section () act upon the seating section. An actuating device () adjusts the respective inclination of the seat section (), and has an exit position, whereby the seat section () is orientated in an essentially parallel manner in relation to the floor structure () and cannot be inclined. The actuating device () extends in the exit position between the stationary legs (), whereby one end () in the region of the front seat () is orientated counter to the floor structure () and the other end () in the region of the rear edge of the seat () is orientated in the direction of the seat frame structure (). As a result, forces arising from a crash are deflected by the actuating device in a safe and targeted manner to the floor structure. The actuating device strives to maintain its original position in the seat frame structure when a crash occurs.
