FOLD FLAT STOW IN FLOOR SEAT ASSEMBLY WITH COLLAPSIBLE BOLSTERS

摘要

A seat assembly for use in an automotive vehicle comprising a seat cushion and a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat cushion for movement between a generally upright seating position and a fold flat position resting against the seat cushion. A side bolster panel is pivotally coupled to lateral opposing sides of each of the seat cushion and seat back and operable between a flexed position facing toward the center of the seat cushion and the seat back and a relaxed position aligned generally flush with the seat cushion and the seat back. A cam mechanism is operatively coupled to the each side bolster panel for automatically releasing the side bolster panels from the flexed position to the relaxed position in response to pivotal movement of the seat back from the seating position to the fold flat position to provide a low profile folded seat assembly.
