Folding rear seat for vehicle - has seat back on two sets of supports arms to control flat load space behind seat

摘要

The rear seat has the squab hinged to swing up into a vertical setting on a front axis. The seat back folds down flat to form an extension of the rear load surface. The seat back is supported on two sets of levers (2,3) hinged at both ends, with the rear lever (3) on each side rapidly assuming a horizontal, position in line with the load space as soon as the seat back is tilted into the upright setting. The rear support arm is mounted at the level of the load space with one end and attached to the seat back at its lower edge. In the normal position the support arm is tilted downwards into the seat back recess. ADVANTAGE - The mounting of the rear support arms provides a flat extension of the load surface as soon as the seat back begins to tilt forward.
