Abstract
The articulation comprises a fixed plate (10), a movable plate (20), an intermediate plate (30), an inclination adjusting mechanism (40), a lock (50) for locking the swinging motion, and a movable control device (60) acting on the mechanism (40) and the lock (50) in such manner as to, at will, shift either the mechanism or the lock from an engaged position to a disengaged position so that the intermediate plate (30) is coupled with both the fixed plate and the movable plate or only with one or the other of the fixed plate and movable plate. Application in particular in vehicle seat structures of which the backrest is inclinable and capable of being swung over toward the seat.
