Abstract
A fitting system for a vehicle seat having a fitting (), which has a first fitting part () and a second fitting part (), which fitting parts can be locked to one another and can be rotated relative to one another about an axis (A). A transmission rod () rotates during an unlocking process to unlock the fitting () against the torque and follows a characteristic curve (M) generated by a spring arrangement (). A hand lever () initiates the unlocking process, the actuation of which rotates the transmission rod (). A shaped spring () is active between a first component () and a second component () which rotate, relative to one another during the unlocking process. The torque generated by the shaped spring follows a non-linear characteristic curve (M) which, together with the approximately linear characteristic curve (M) of the spring arrangement (), produces an overall characteristic curve (M).
