Abstract
In an articulated fitting for vehicle seats, two fitting elements are mounted on a bushing (4) which serves as a hinge pin allowing the fitting elements to be rotatable and pivotable relative to each other. In order to be able to rigidly connect an activating member (17) with one end of the bushing and a pin (19), which engages in the bushing, with the other end without danger of a misalignment, the two end surfaces (4', 4") of the bushing (4) are provided with axially projecting projections that penetrate into an annular shoulder (19) of the pin (18) and into the activating member (17), respectively. In addition, the end of the pin (18) that projects beyond the activating member (17) is formed as a rivet head (18") which holds the annular shoulder (19) and the activating member (17) in forced abutment against the bushing (4).
