ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle seat having a squab pivotally mounted on the vehicle floor adjacent the front of the squab, a normally engaged coupling is connected between the rear of the squab and the floor to prevent forwardly tilting of the squab. An operating device is provided for selectively disengaging the coupling. A normally disengaged coupling is also provided between the rear of the squab and the vehicle floor. Upon deformation of the squab in a forward direction during a collision the normally disengaged coupling will become engaged to prevent forward tilting of the squab.
