Abstract

A vehicle seat includes a seat part which is formed by a cushion secured to a first armature itself supported by a second armature on which the backrest is mounted, it being possible for the first armature to be moved back and forth with respect to the second armature. The first armature includes a rear part which is suspended from the second-armature by at least one rear connecting piece, and the first armature further includes a front part which is linked to the second armature by a front mechanism compatible with the rocking motion of the rear part of the first armature. When a user is seated in the seat, the first armature is urged backward by the weight of the user.
