ABSTRACT:
A seat for vehicles is provided with a pivotable seat back and a seat belt system including a seat belt, a belt roll-up device, and a belt deflector mounted on the seat back. A locking device triggerable in the event of a collision is provided for securing the seat back to the vehicle body. To create a highly stable locking device without having parts projecting therefrom when the seat back is folded, the locking device has a locking pin that is displaceable crosswise with respect to the vehicle, the pin cooperating with a hole located in the side wall of the body and urged by a tensioned drive spring in the direction of the hole, and a locking unit which secures the locking pin in its basic position against axial displacement. The locking unit is coupled to a section of the seat belt located between the belt roll-up device and the belt deflector in such fashion that it releases the locking pin as a result of a pull that acts when the belt pull-out lock on the seat belt is active.
