Patent ID: 8186737

Claim:
An adjustable vehicle seat with an inclinable seat part and an inclinable backrest mounted to the seat part, front and rear areas of the seat part being mounted pivotably in bearings at positions adjacent to remote sides of the seat part, each of the bearings being mounted pivotably in the vehicle floor or rails, seat adjustment means for adjusting the front bearings or the rear bearings for changing a spacing between pivot axes of the respective bearing and thereby changing an inclination of the seat part, and backrest adjusting means for detecting the changing of the inclination of the seat part and adjusting inclination of the backrest relative to the vehicle floor to maintain a substantially constant angle of inclination of the backrest relative to the vehicle floor before and after the changing of the inclination of the seat part, so that the adjusting of the inclination of the backrest substantially compensates for the adjusting of the seat part.
