ABSTRACT:
Seat2is mounted to slide blocks24and rails22, which in turn are mounted to upstanding brackets20. The fore-and-aft adjustment of the seats is thus raised above the level of floor16, avoiding fouling by sand and dirt; corrosion; and shorting where electric seat adjustment is used. Seat2comprises frame4, backrest14, and tip-up seat8which can be raised around pivots6, 6′ to allow a higher seating position for marine use. In marine mode, the helmsman sits on cushion10; in road mode, the driver sits on cushion12. Latches are provided for fore-and-aft and tip-up cushion adjustment. Flaps26may protect sliding surfaces from contamination. Rails22may face upwards (34, FIG.3), downwards (44, FIG.4), or sideways, as convenient; the seat may be supported on a cradle (40, FIG.4). Slide blocks may be replaced by rollers (32, FIGS.2, 6).
