Patent ID: 7578537

Claim:
A motor vehicle, comprising: a backrest operable to be brought into an upright use position to form a support for a seat user's back; a pivotably mounted cushion carrier for a seat cushion which, in its use position, defines a seat surface for a seat user; a folding mechanism for folding over the cushion carrier to a folded position in front of the backrest, so that the cushion carrier essentially extends along the backrest when the backrest is in its upright use position; wherein the folding mechanism comprises a pair of levers connected to each other in an articulated manner at a knee joint, the pair of levers enclosing an acute angle at the knee joint; wherein, when the cushion carrier is folded over from the use position to the folded position in front of the backrest, the acute angle is transformed into a reflex angle; and wherein, when the reflex angle of greater than 180° is achieved, a further increase of the angle is prevented by the folding mechanism.
