Abstract
A vehicle seat comprises a seat plate, a backrest pivotably movably connected to the seat plate, and an L-shaped base formed by a horizontal portion on which the seat plate is disposed and a vertical portion on which the backrest is mounted. The seat plate is provided at the underside of its front edge with retaining members which are spaced from each other in the longitudinal direct ion of the seat. The horizontal portion carries a stationary mounting support having a further retaining member for selective latching engagement with a retaining member on the seat plate, to secure the seat plate in an adjusted position on the horizontal portion of the base. Projecting from the underside of the seat plate are spring elements which are spaced from each other in the transverse direction of the seat and which slidably movably bear on the horizontal portion of the base by way of sliding shoes.
