Abstract
The invention relates to a detent fitting that is provided with a solid fitting component (10) appurtenant to the seat component and a fitting component (12) appurtenant to the backrest. The fitting component (12) is pivotably mounted in relation to said first component (10). At least one lock (17) is provided on a fitting component and said lock, together with the remaining fitting component, can be brought into or removed from a locking position in the radial direction. The lock, together with transmission members, forms a backrest adjustment device (17, 20, 21) which engages with an operating lever (27). The aim of the invention is to pivot the backrest towards the front and to bring back said backrest into the position of inclination that has been adjusted before. A memory device (30, 31, 34, 37; 34, 65, 66) and a self-pivoting device (43, 47; 64, 70, 71) that can be released by a separate operating element (45) are assigned to the backrest adjustment device (17, 20, 21).
