Claim:
A vehicle seat with a seat frame ( 3 ) with an upper rail ( 5 ), which can be displaced on a vehicle-integral lower rail ( 6 ) in the longitudinal direction, and a backrest ( 8 ) articulated in a rest axis (A) locking on a component ( 4 ) that is integrated with the seat by means of inclination adjusters, whereby the vehicle seat ( 1 ) can be moved from a utilization position into an easy-access position by folding the backrest ( 8 ) forward into a partially forward-folded position and moving the seat frame ( 3 ) longitudinally from a utilization position forward into an easy-entry zone, characterized in that the backrest ( 8 ) has a latching arrangement ( 32 ) for its partial forward-folded position into the easy-entry portion, a latch mechanism ( 9 ) is provided on the seat frame ( 3 ), which as a factor of the longitudinal position of the seat frame ( 3 ) is automatically adjustable, so that it assumes in the rear utilization zone of the seat frame ( 3 ) a release position and in the forward easy-entry zone of the seat frame ( 3 ) a latching position, in which it latches with the latching arrangement ( 32 ) of the backrest ( 8 ), and the latching mechanism ( 9 ) can be released from the latching arrangement ( 32 ) of the backrest ( 8 ) only by a movement of the seat frame ( 3 ) rearward from the easy-entry zone into the utilization zone, wherein the latching mechanism ( 9 ) has a contact part ( 24 ), which abuts in the rear utilization zone of the seat frame ( 3 ) on a vehicle-integrated counter element ( 25 ) and is released in the forward easy-entry zone of the seat frame ( 3 ), wherein the contact part ( 24 ) in the release portion is biased against the vehicle-integrated counter element ( 25 ) and a latching means ( 12 ) of the latching mechanism ( 9 ) is out of engagement of the latching arrangement, and in the forward easy-entry zone of the seat frame ( 3 ) the contact part ( 24 ) is displaced under the action of de-stressing the spring ( 18 ) and hereby the latching means ( 12 ) engages in the latching arrangement ( 32 ) of the backrest ( 8 ) in its forward-folding position.
