ABSTRACT:
Seating apparatus is disclosed which is adapted to provide a forward or rearward facing seat or a bed in a camper type vehicle. The inventive seating apparatus may be used as a forward passenger seat in a van type camper vehicle which has a rear seat with a bed conversion capability similar to that of the seating apparatus of this invention. When the two seats are converted to the bed orientation the combination provides a full sized bed. When desired the rear seat is erected to its forward facing orientation and the seating apparatus of this invention may also be used in the forward facing seat orientation. Alternatively, the forward seat may be reversed so that the seats are in face to face to relation and a table may be placed therebetween for a dining arrangement. The seating apparatus of this invention provides reversibility of the seat from forward facing to rearward facing and mechanism is disclosed which provides the desired seat bottom rake in both orientations and also provides shifting of the cushions so they occupy the same relative position to each other and the base in either orientation. Additionally, the mechanism is effective when the seat is converted to the bed orientation to eliminate the rake of the seat bottom and to draw the cushions together and thus provide a flat continuous mattress surface.
