ABSTRACT:
An automotive seat having a seat cushion latching device is disclosed, in which the changing of the seat cushion from an operative latched position to a folded latched position or vice verse is achieved by manipulating only one operation lever. The automotive seat comprises a seat cushion; a pivot mechanism for permitting the seat cushion to pivot between an operative position and a folded position with respect a fixed member; first and second strikers secured to spaced portions of the seat cushion; a base structure secured to the fixed member; a first latching mechanism installed in the base structure for latching the first striker when the seat cushion assumes the operative position; a second latching mechanism installed in the base structure for latching the second striker when the seat cushion assumes the folded position; an operation lever pivotally supported by the base structure; and a link mechanism linking the operation lever to both the first and second latching mechanisms so that a pivotal movement of the operation lever in a given direction cancels a latched condition of either one of the first and second latching mechanisms.
