VERTICALLY FOLDING SEAT

摘要

A folding chair (2) includes a back portion (6) and a seat portion (4). The seat portion folds downward to engage the seat portion, and the seat portion may then be pivoted upward to a storage position. When the seat is in the operating position, a brace (18) extends from a mounting bracket (12) to the bottom of the seat portion. That brace connects to a pivoting link that allows the total length of the brace and link to increase when the seat is pivoted upward. Latches (32, 34) are provided to secure the pivoting link in selected positions to hold the seat in the operational or storage positions.
