ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an arrangement in a passenger seat of a vehicle, preferably the back seat in a passenger car, for re-arranging said seat, including a seat cushion and a back cushion, the former being articulatedly connected via a link to the vehicle body and being arrangeable between a normal sitting position and a retracted substantially vertical loading position. The back cushion is pivotably connected to the vehicle body and arrangeable between a normal back support position and a swung-down substantially horizontal loading position. In their respective normal positions the rear end of the seat cushion is situated under the lower end of the back cushion. With the object of facilitating the movement of the seat cushion from sitting position to tipping position, especially for large thickness of the back cushion upholstery, the invention is substantially distinguished in that the link is pivotably attached to the seat cushion via a first joint and to the body via a second joint so that the first joint in the normal sitting position of the seat cushion is situated closer to the back cushion than the second joint and in that the first joint permits a substantially parallel displacement of the seat cushion from its normal sitting position to a tipping position, whereby the distance (d) between said positions is greater than a distance (a) between the rear end of the seat cushion and the lower forward edge of the back cushion in the normal sitting position of the seat cushion.
