Abstract

A locking unit (10), for a vehicle seat (1), includes a locking pawl (80) which is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position and which has a retention contour (27) for securing a locking bolt (12) in the closed position. At least one claw (90, 91, 92), offset in the axial direction with respect to the locking pawl (80), is mounted so as to be pivotable about the same pivot axis. The claw (90, 91, 92) has a closure contour (25). The locking pawl (80) can be pivoted from the open position to the closed position by the closure contour (25) being acted upon by the locking bolt (12).
