Abstract
A seat tilting mechanism comprising a main body, a seat support, a backrest support and an articulation mechanism comprising a lever, a first portion of which defines along with a first arm, the seat support and the main body a first quadrilateral hinge, and a second portion of which defines alone with a second arm, the backrest support and the main body a second quadrilateral hinge. Interior corner angles and lengths of each side of the first and second quadrilateral hinges are such that a predetermined angular displacement ratio of the backrest support in relation to the seat support is provided. An extension resistance device is mounted between the main body and the first portion to provide resistance to rotation of the lever. A first end of the extension resistance device is rotationally mounted to the lever at a first mounting point, which is located between the midpoint and upper point, and is angularly displaced from a line extending between the midpoint and the upper point.
