Patent ID: 7775598

Claim:
A fitting for a vehicle seat having a backrest, the fitting comprising: a first fitting part and a second fitting part, wherein there is geared connection between the first fitting part and the second fitting part so that there can be relative rolling between the first fitting part and the second fitting part; a rotatably mounted eccentric for being driven, and for causing the relative rolling between the first fitting part and the second fitting part in response to the eccentric being driven; a driver for driving the eccentric so that the eccentric causes the relative rolling between the first fitting part and the second fitting part, wherein the fitting is operative for steplessly adjusting inclination of the backrest of the vehicle seat between use positions by way of the relative rolling between the first fitting part and the second fitting part, which occurs in response to the eccentric being driven; a third fitting part mounted for being pivoted relative to the first fitting part, for enabling forward pivoting of the backrest of the vehicle seat relative to both the first fitting part and the second fitting part into a dump position which is past the use position; a locking mechanism for providing locked and unlocked states of the third fitting part, wherein the third fitting part is at least indirectly locked with respect to the first fitting part during the locked state of the third fitting part, and the third fitting part can be pivoted relative to the first fitting part during the unlocked state of the third fitting part; and a disengagement mechanism comprising a cam connected to the first fitting part, and a lever pivotably mounted on the third fitting part, wherein the disengagement mechanism is for maintaining the unlocked state of the third fitting part during pivoting into the dump position, comprising the lever being adapted for interacting with the cam during pivoting into the dump position, and the lever is adapted for not interacting with the cam during the use positions.
