ABSTRACT:
A vehicular seat for handicapped and elderly persons is disclosed which is readily accommodated in any type of conventional vehicle, such as automobile, van, bus and the like. The vehicular seat is given three degrees of freedom of movement, the first degree being a rotary one in a horizontal plane about a shiftable vertical axis of rotation, the second being a rectilinear one in a horizontal plane, and the third being rotary in a horizontal plane about a fixed vertical rotary axis. The three degrees of freedom allow for angular positioning of the seat proper relative to the ajar door, so as to ensure minimal interference between the person being seated and the frame and ajar door of the vehicle. The seat proper is provided with a pair of leg rests, each being independently maneuverable and locked in place by a manually-rotatable lever detent which has a lower end having an arcuate cut-out portion for receiving therein one detent rod of a plurality of parallel detent rods, each rod spanning the width of the rear surface of the leg rest to position each leg rest at a desired pivotal orientation.
