Abstract
A vehicle seat, in particular motor vehicle seat, comprises a backrest part and a seat part. The seat part has a fitting for adjusting the inclination of the backrest part in relation to the seat part. The fitting has a first fitting part which is firmly connected to the backrest part, and a second fitting part which is firmly connected to the seat part. The fitting parts are connected to one another and configured to be adjusted smoothly angularly by an adjusting mechanism. The first fitting part is able to be locked in relation to the adjusting mechanism by a latching apparatus, and is able to be pivoted about a rotational axis in relation to the adjusting mechanism after the latching apparatus is released. The adjusting mechanism comprises a toothed member, such as an internally toothed mechanism latching plate and/or an internally toothed mechanism plate. The first fitting part is mounted in a plane extending generally perpendicular to the rotational axis of the toothed member.
