Abstract
A vehicle seat includes a support structure located beneath the seat and a squab located above the support structure. A back-seat extends substantially upwardly from the rear part of the squab. A mechanism pivotally connects the rear part of the squab to the support structure to permit the rearward tilting of the back-rest while tilting upwards the squab. A kinetic energy absorbing mechanism absorbs energy when the seat executes a tilting movement. The energy absorbing mechanism is located beneath the squab and is connected to a pivotal linkage between the support structure and a forward part of the squab of the seat.
