In the case of known backrests of the type mentioned above, the support insert consists of a number of rod support members arranged side by side, each of which is formed from a sleeve threaded over a tensioning or tensioning member. (Austrian Patent No. 308318). Some sleeves have an end surface that extends obliquely to the sleeve axis and are prevented from rotating, so that when the tension member is tensioned, a wedge-shaped intermediate chamber formed by the oblique end surface is formed. any difference is closed and thereby the support member is curved. This has a relatively complex and expensive construction, in particular because of the necessary device for tensioning the tensioning element, and in this construction it is difficult to change the position of the curved apex above the seat surface. Unfortunately, difficulties arise.

It is therefore an object of the invention to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide a simple and inexpensive construction suitable for vehicle seats as well as other seats, in which case it is also possible to
To provide a backrest that can easily change the position of its curved apex above the seat surface in order to perfectly adapt to different spinal column shapes.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the support insert has at least one elastic curved element, preferably a curved surface, which is supported at one end and has a curved surface at the other end. at least one adjustable tension or compression mechanism engages the curved apex region of the curved member, the curved member supported above being slidably guided up and down to the support below; and in this case at least one tongue is pivotally connected to the bending member, which tongue is pivotally connected to an approximately horizontally guided adjustment rod, and the bending of the bending member is The solution is that a second adjusting rod with a separate tongue is provided for the tensioning or compression mechanism applied in the apex region.

With this arrangement of the invention, when the tension or compression mechanism is adjusted, the apex of the curvature is moved downwardly from the center, thereby adapting to the anatomical shape of the spinal column. In this case, it is only necessary to operate the tensioning or compression mechanism, and this is done by means of simple auxiliary elements. There is no need for the curved member or members to be composed of multiple members.
This is because a sufficiently elastically flexible material is provided for this purpose.

Furthermore, with this configuration of the invention, the lower edge of the curved member can be caused to run more or less far from the support and thereby change the degree of curvature, in this case increasing the degree of curvature. A compressive force must be applied to cause the The position of the curved apex is adjusted in a similar manner. In this case, the adjusting rod can be slid in a simple manner via a threaded spindle and a nut.
