Abstract
The hinge device for a vehicle seat comprises an intermediate plate carrying first and second cheek-plates, one designed to be fixed to the seat-back and the other to the seat proper. The first cheek-plate is connected to the intermediate plate via a mechanism enabling the inclination of the seat-back to be adjusted in substantially continuous manner. The second cheek-plate is connected to the intermediate plate via a locking mechanism controlled by the same handle as the mechanism for adjusting the inclination of the seat-back.
