Abstract:
A motor vehicle seat comprising a back rest and a seat carrier, said seat carrier is connected via a height adjustment device, to which is attached a back link, with an underframe, a back rest support of said back rest is positioned adjacent to said seat carrier, said back rest support is coupled via a joint to said seat carrier, said back rest support is further connected via a detachable stop device with said seat carrier in such a way that after said detachable stop device has been released said back rest can be swung around said joint and thereby said back rest can be tilted forward and at the same time after a locking device has been released said seat carrier can be shifted forward, in such a way that a space behind said motor vehicle seat is made larger and an access to said space is made easier, wherein said back rest support has an extension, which extends said back rest support beyond said joint and a tension bar is provided, which tension bar is not resistant to pressure, which tension bar acts upon said extension, which tension bar acts upon said back link, and which tension bar is designed in such a way that when tilting said back rest upright, starting from a shifted forward position of said back rest said tension bar effects a tensile force onto said back link so that said seat carrier is shifted backwards together with said back rest.
