  • seat support means including means defining a first substantially horizontal pivot axis and a second substantially horizontal pivot axis extending in mutually spaced relationship;

    rearwardly inclinable seat carrier means pivotable about said first substantially horizontal pivot axis and having a rear end;

    rearwardly inclinable back rest carrier means pivotable relative to said second substantially horizontal pivot axis and having a back rest region;

    means coupling said rearwardly inclinable seat carrier means to said rearwardly inclinable back rest carrier means such that rearward inclinations of said rearwardly inclinable seat carrier means and of said rearwardly inclinable back rest carrier means occur conjointly and such that an ensuing downward motion of said rear end is less than an ensuing downward motion of said back rest region;
