Abstract
A detent fitting for a motor vehicle seat includes a first fitting part (11) and a relatively rotatable second fitting part (12) and catches (16) guided by one fitting part between a locked state and an unlocked state to lock the detent fitting upon interacting with a gear ring of another fitting part. A third fitting part (74) is pivotably mounted and is lockable with a detent plate (115) fixed to the first fitting part or with the first fitting part by a pawl (80) which is mounted in a hinge point on the third fitting part. The third fitting part, a locking cam (90) with a hinge point on the third fitting part, a coupling (98) connected to the locking cam with a hinge point and the pawl with a hinge point define a four-link chain. A vehicle seat with at least one such detent fitting is also provided.
