Abstract:
A vehicle seat (1) comprising a carrier part (8) which is adapted to be mounted to a vehicle, a seat back (2), and a seat part (4) having a sitting surface, the seat back (2) and the seat part (4) being hingedly connected to each other by a pivot point (5) between their adjacent ends, wherein the carrier part (8) adjustably supports the seat back (2) and the seat part (4) at connection positions in a form of restrictive slide guides (6, 7) for movably conducting the seat back (2) and the seat part (4), such that the seat back (2) and seat part (4) can be adjusted to and fixed in a starting position selectable by a user of the vehicle seat (1), and the seat back (2) is movable from the starting position to a safety position by a crash-related introduction of force through the user during a rear collision, and wherein the carrier part (8) has a support for the seat back (2) arranged at a distance above the sitting surface, such that a lower portion of the seat back (2) between the support and the pivot point (5) acts as a lever arm, wherein introduction of forces from a pelvis area of the user against the seat back (2) during the rear collision causes the lever arm to move the seat part (4) and an upper part of the seat back (2) above the support to the safety position.
