ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle seat comprising a backrest provides a support for the back of a seat occupant when in the position of use, and a pivotally mounted upholstery carrier for seat upholstery, defining a seat surface for a seat occupant when in the position of use, in addition to a folding mechanism for folding the upholstery carrier in front of the backrest such that the upholstery carrier extends substantially along the backrest when the latter is in the position of use. The folding mechanism comprises a pair of levers, wherein both levers are hingedly coupled to each other at a knee joint, forming an acute angle at said knee joint, and such that the acute angle is transformed into a reflex angle when the upholstery carrier is folded out of the position of use in front of the backrest.
