Abstract

A device for adjustment of the backrest inclination for a backrest of a seat in a motor vehicle includes a backrest connected to a rotating locking device. The device may be locked in defined lock positions for adjustment of the inclination, by means of a locking element which may be positionally adjusted. The locking element may be placed in a defined spatial position, by means of at least one operating mechanism, such that the locking element is in a position to be locked in only a partial number of the possible locking positions. A defined adjustment of the inclination is thus achievable in a simple manner.
