Abstract

A fitting (10) for a vehicle seat, more particularly for a motor vehicle seat, comprises a first fitting part (11), a second fitting part (12) that is in geared connection with the first fitting part (11), a driver (21) and wedge segments (27a, 27b), which at least partly define a cam that is rotatably mounted on the first fitting part (11) for driving a rolling movement of the first fitting part (11) and the second fitting part (12) against one another, and with a first sliding bearing (28) or rolling bearing, by way of which the wedge segments (27a, 27b) are mounted on the second fitting part (12) with a small amount of friction, at least a first (27a) of the two wedge segments (27a, 27b) being mounted on the first fitting part (11) with a small amount of friction by way of a second sliding bearing (41) or rolling bearing.
