Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'inclinaison du siège. Le dispositif d'inclinaison de la présente invention comprend un secteur denté (110) qui possède une partie de couplage (111) du dossier du siège, et un support (120) couplé rotatif au secteur denté (110) et possède une partie de couplage (121) avec le coussin du siège. Le dispositif d'inclinaison du siège comprend également une came (130) qui pivote sous l'action d'un arbre (40), une roue de verrouillage (140) qui verrouille de façon libérable le secteur denté (110), et un ressort de retour (160) qui sollicite élastiquement la came en direction de sa position initiale. La parte de couplage du dossier du siège comprend un corps principal (111a) qui fait saillie à partir du secteur denté, et des dents de couplage (111b) ménagées dans le corps principal à des intervalles déterminés. Selon cette invention, même si un effort important est appliqué au dossier du siège, le dispositif d'inclinaison du siège parvient à supporter de manière stable le dossier du siège.
