ABSTRACT:
A tumble seat for an automotive vehicle wherein provision is made for pivoting a seat cushion frame for the tumble seat about a pivot pin with an axis that is transverse to the fore-and-aft center plane of the vehicle passenger compartment. The pivot pin is fixed to the bracket structure without the need for a threaded fastener. A spring, which is anchored on the pivot pin, has its active end engageable with the seat cushion frame so that a constant tilting torque on the seat cushion frame tends to tilt the seat cushion frame in an upright position when the tumble seat is not in use and when the seat cushion frame is unlatched from its lowered passenger-supporting position.
