EASY ACCESS TUMBLE SEAT WITH INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT AND TUMBLE LOCKOUT WHEN CHILD SEAT IS DEPLOYED.

摘要

A tumble seat (10) for use in a vehicle including a seat cushion (12) supported on a frame (16) and a seat back (24) connected to the seat cushion. First supports (14) depend from the frame (16) and have a first pivot connection (46) for pivotally attaching the frame to the vehicle. The seat may be rotated about the first pivot connection (46) between an operative position in which the seat cushion is generally horizontal so that an occupant may be seated on the seat and a nonoperative position in which the seat is rotated from the operative position about the first pivot connection (46). Second supports (18) depend from the frame (16) in spaced relation from the first supports (14) and include ends (50) for attaching to the vehicle when the seat is in the operative position. A latch mechanism (50) is operatively attached to the frame (16) for securing and unsecuring the ends to and from the vehicle when the seat is in the operative position. A lockout mechanism (30) prevents the seat from rotating about the first pivot connection from the operative position to the nonoperative position.
