Patent ID: 8313145

Claim:
A fitting for use with a vehicle seat having a seat part and 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 for adjusting an inclination of the backrest between several use positions, wherein the second fitting part is attachable to the seat 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; a drive motor for driving the driver, the drive motor being attachable to the backrest, wherein the inclination of the backrest is adjusted by using the drive motor; a third fitting part attachable to the backrest and pivotably mounted on the first fitting part around a central axis, wherein the third fitting part is designed for being releasably locked with a detent element provided at the first fitting part, and the third fitting part is designed for manually free-pivoting the backrest forwards into a non-use position when the third fitting part is unlocked; and a first coupling element and a second coupling element between the third fitting part and the detent element, the first coupling element and the second coupling element being inactive in a normal case and the first coupling element and the second coupling element becoming active in a misuse case, when the third fitting part is unlocked from the detent element and the backrest is in the non-use position and the drive motor is moving the detent element with a backwards movement.
