Abstract

The invention relates to a device for adjusting the backrest, preferably of vehicle seats. It is characterized by a first plate-shaped portion, which by a belt-like member is connected to a rigid part of one lateral edge of the seat back, and a second plate-shaped portion, which by a belt-like member is connected to a rigid part of the second lateral edge of the seat back. The plate-shaped portions are located with their plane sides facing to each other, and a spring means is provided to stretch the belt-like members between the lateral edges. A holder-on member is located outside the plate-shaped portions and receives a means intended as desired to press the plate-shaped portions into locking engagement with each other and, respectively, with the holder-on member.
