ABSTRACT:
An improved locking mechanism assembly that is within a cantilevered stowable seat for use in a vehicle in order to provide passenger seating or a space for a wheelchair or for storage of various articles. The improved locking mechanism assembly includes an aisle assembly, a wall assembly, and a transfer rod. The seat is stowed by folding the seatback flat against the seatbase, actuating the single handle located on the aisle side of the seat thereby unlocking the seatbase from its folded intermediate position and rotating the seatbase to its stowed position where it is locked in place. The stowable seat is deployed by actuating the single handle located on the aisle side of the seat assembly, thereby unlocking the seatbase from its stowed position and lowering the seatbase to its folded intermediate position where it is locked into place. The seatback is then unfolded to accommodate passengers in the deployed position.
