This articulation (40) comprises a linkage (41) arranged in such manner that, in said normal position, the movable front section (322) is in the extension of the fixed rear section (321) and in such manner that, in the auxiliary position, the movable front section (322) is placed above the fixed rear section (321) after a rotation and a turning over upper face-down of the movable front section. A support (50) and a lock (60) maintain the movable front section in the auxiliary position. Application for example to a seat structure for a rear seat of a motor vehicle.
