ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat comprises a seat back cushion assembly having a lower end and an upper end, and a seat cushion assembly having one end adjacent the lower end of the seat back assembly and an opposite end. A mounting structure is provided and is constructed and arranged with respect to the upper end of the seat back cushion assembly to mount the same so that the upper end does not move appreciably in a horizontal direction but can have limited vertical movement. A releasably lockable mounting assembly is constructed and arranged to be mounted on a floor of a vehicle and to be connected with the seat cushion and seat back cushion assemblies in a relationship which retains the one end of the seat cushion assembly adjacent the lower end of the seat back cushion assembly while enabling the assemblies to be selectively releasably moved between two locked positions consisting of (1) a sitting position wherein the seat cushion assembly extends generally horizontally from the one end thereof to the opposite end thereof to support a user sitting thereon and the seat back cushion assembly extends upwardly from the lower end thereof to the upper end thereof to support the back of a user sitting on the seat cushion assembly and (2) a storage position wherein the seat back cushion assembly extends generally vertically and the seat cushion assembly extends generally vertically in adjacent relation alongside the seat back cushion assembly. A cable assembly is operable remote from the releasably lockable mounting assembly to release the releasably lockable mounting assembly to permit movement thereof between the sitting and storage positions.
