Abstract

A fitting (5) for a vehicle seat, particularly for a motor vehicle seat, is provided with a first fitting part (9) fixed to a seat part, a second fitting part (11) that can be rotated between a plurality of usage positions relative to the first fitting part (9) for setting the tilt of the back (2) of the vehicle seat (1) and a locking element (15) fixedly connected particularly to the second fitting part (11). A third fitting part (14) is fixed to the back that can be locked by the locking element (15) and may be pivoted about an axis (A) relative to the second fitting part (11) for centered free pivoting of the back (2). A stop (18, 19) limits the pivot motion of the third fitting part (14) on one side. The stop includes at least one axially protruding first stop cam (18) that is formed on the third fitting part (14) and at least one axially protruding second stop cam (19) that is formed on the locking element (15). The cams limit the pivot motion of the third fitting part (14) by working together as the stop (18, 19).
