ABSTRACT:
A retractable seat structure for movement between an open, extended position and a foldable, retracted position has a frame for mounting within a wall and a seat assembly foldably mounted relative to the frame. An elongate pivot member such as a rod extends across the frame and is secured to opposite frame end members. The seat assembly contains an interior panel member and has brackets secured to opposite rear corner portions of the panel member in order to suspend the seat panel member from the rod for up and down folding movement with the panel member rotating relative to the rod. A resilient member such as a coil spring is sleeved on the rod and has one end nonrotatably connected to the rod and another end extending laterally outward and secured to the seat panel member. The coil spring is of a resilient strength relative to the weight of the seat assembly whereby the seat assembly, when folded upwardly in a retracted position, remains in the retracted position and, when swung downwardly into the extended position, remains in the extended position. A stop is secured to the frame and is operable to engage the seat assembly and limit downward swinging movement thereof.
