Abstract
A lumbar support for seat backs, in particular of motor vehicle seats, has a forward-bowed support plate (1) that is adjustable in its curvature. The support plate (1is mounted at one horizontal end region (1a) on laterally spaced guide elements that are parallel to one another and fixed with respect to the seat back so that it is vertically movable. The vertical guide elements consist of ribs (2) of a guide plate (3) that is fixed with respect to the seat back. The guide plate (3) has openings (4), which possess vertical guide edges (4a) that are parallel to one another. Through the guide edges (4a) pass, from the front, end-mounted brackets (1b) of the support plate (1). The brackets (1b) have necks (1c) corresponding to the spacing of the guide edges (4a), and widen again on the back of the guide plate (3).
