ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle seat tiltable out of its position of use into an access position making it easier to board the vehicle and alight from it, the seat-cushion frame is caught on the vehicle floor by catching claws. To change the seat over into its access position, the backrest held pivotably on the seat-cushion frame first has to be swung down from its erected position of use onto the top face of the seat cushion. An actuating mechanism is coupled to the backrest in such a way that this tilting movement gives rise to a swinging-out movement of the catching claws from the floor mounting. The catching claws are changed over into a masked position safe against causing injury and, in the swung-up seat position, remain in this masked position. When the vehicle seat is tilted back, at the end of the return movement of the backrest the catching claws are released via the actuating mechanism and thereupon automatically swing into the floor mounting.
