Abstract

A motor vehicle seat adapted to receive a safety belt includes a seating part and a back part on either side of an articulation zone. Each of the parts includes a frame with two arms abutting the articulation zone, the two arms forming respectively side members for the seat and vertical members for the back: the ends of the two arms of one of the parts and the ends of the two arms of the part are mounted each rotating via a pivot in a bearing. The pivot is borne by one part and the bearing by the other part, and an energy-absorbing element is provided between at least a pivot and its corresponding bearing.
