Abstract
The seat structure comprises a latching device (60) which is partly carried by one of the brackets (12,22) and partly by the other of these brackets (12,22) for latching in two opposed directions the backrest (20) to the seat (10) when the backrest occupies at least one of two particular positions, namely a "normal" position and a "relaxing" position so as to absorb and/or transmit important forces to which the seat structure is subjected in the event of a shock having a large longitudinal component. The latching device is brought into action by a hand control (50) of a locking mechanism. The seat structure is particularly applicable to so-called "one volume" or "monospace" vehicles.
