Abstract

A vehicle seat comprises a seat squab supported on a base structure, and a spring arrangement for weight adjustment, the spring arrangement being connected to a weight adjustment actuating device. Associated with the actuating device is a level indicator device for indicating adjustment of the seat squab to the seat squab level which optimally corresponds to the weight of the respective seat occupant, in relation to the spring travel of the seat squab. The level indicator device and the actuating device are provided at least substantially centrally at the front edge of the seat squab for optimum actuability and adjustability.
