Abstract
The vehicle seat hinge comprises a first cheek plate (8) for the back, a second cheek plate (9) for the seat and co-operating with the first cheek plate to define a round housing, a ring (11) with an inside set of teeth associated with the first cheek plate and housed inside the housing, a control member (5), and a mechanism (M) inside the housing, controllable by said member, and co-operating with the set of teeth (12) of the ring to perform fine adjustment of the inclination of the back. The toothed ring is mounted to be angularly slidable along a complementary annular bearing surface (14) of the first cheek plate, and a second mechanism is provided inside the housing suitable for reversibly coupling the toothed ring to the first cheek plate and including two abutments that are angularly fixed relative to respective ones of said elements and suitable for storing each preadjusted position of the second element whenever they are uncoupled.
