Abstract

A hinge fitting for pivotably and selectively locking the back rest of a vehicle seat to the vehicle frame has two planetary gear sets, formed as mirror-images of one another. Both sets have the same reduction ratio and the eccentrics of the two planetary gear sets are rotated toward each other at most by a small angle.
