Abstract

A seat system includes two backrests installed so as to pivot around a backrest axis in relation to a floor between a raised position and a folded down position, and a first belt locking buckle installed so as to pivot in order to retract, first connecting system between a first backrest and the first buckle so that the pivoting of the first backrest causes the first buckle to pivot between a high position and a retracted position, a second belt locking buckle aligned with the first buckle in a plane perpendicular to the backrest axis, the second buckle being connected to the second backrest by a second connecting system in such a manner that the first buckle pivots in a first direction when the first backrest is pivoted from the raised position to the retracted position, and the second buckle pivots in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the second backrest is pivoted from the raised position to the folded down position.
