Abstract
A vehicle seat comprising a seat back mounted to pivot on a seat proper by means of first and second hinges, each of which is made up of two pivotally-mounted cheek plates that can be locked by slugs controlled by a rotary cam so that they are caused to come to mesh in a fixed set of teeth. The cams of the two hinges are connected together via a lost motion mechanism, and the fixed set of teeth of one of the hinges has truncated teeth, each of which forms a flat.
