ABSTRACT:
A stowable seat for mounting to a support member of a vehicle wherein a space may be selectively provided for positioning a wheelchair article adjacent to the stowed seat which includes a frame attached to the support member, a cantilevered seatbase and a seatback. The cantilevered seatbase has a free end, a pivotable end rotatably associated with the frame for providing the seatbase with a range of motion extending from a horizontally deployed position to a vertically stowed position, a diagonal support truss supporting the seatbase in the deployed position with a movable end of the support truss sliding within a runner track and a fixed end journalled with said frame. The seatback is rotatably associated with the seatbase and has a range of motion extending from an unfolded position to a folded position where the range of motion of the seatback is perpendicular to the range of motion of the seatbase where the seatback in the unfolded position is adapted to be at a predetermined angle with respect to the seatbase in said deployed position to provide seating and the seatback in the folded position is adapted to fold flat against the seatbase for stowing to provide the space for the wheelchair.
