A vehicle seat is disclosed. The vehicle seat includes reclining lock mechanisms for releasably locking a seat back, a first releasing mechanism for unlocking the reclining lock mechanisms and causing the seat back to be brought to a condition where the seat back is allowed to be pivoted forward and rearward, the first releasing mechanism including a collapsible link bar member, a braking linkhaving a laterally projecting induction pin, a first link plate, and a first operating lever, a tipping-up lock mechanism for releasably locking a seat cushion, the tipping-up lock mechanism including cutout teethtoprovided at the seat cushion, and a latchand a cam memberwhich are supported to the seat back, and a second releasing mechanism for unlocking the tipping-up lock mechanism and causing the seat cushion to be brought to a condition where the seat cushion is allowed to be pivoted, the second releasing mechanism including a recess portionformed in the latchfor allowing the cam memberto be swung up, a second link plate, and a second operating lever

Tip-up/dive-down type reclining seat for vehicle

A vehicle seat includes reclining lock mechanisms for releasably locking a seat back, a first releasing mechanism for unlocking the reclining lock mechanisms and causing the seat back to be pivotable forward and rearward, the first releasing mechanism including a collapsible link bar member, a braking link having a laterally projecting induction pin, a first link plate, and a first operating lever, a tipping-up lock mechanism for releasably locking a seat cushion, the tipping-up lock mechanism including cutout teeth provided at the seat cushion, and a latch and a cam member which are supported to the seat back, and a second releasing mechanism for unlocking the tipping-up lock mechanism and causing the seat cushion to be pivotable, the second releasing mechanism including a recess portion formed in the latch for allowing the cam member to be swung up, a second link plate, and a second operating lever.

A vehicle seat has a seatback movable between an upright position and a horizontal position, a seat bottom movable between a use position perpendicular to the seatback and a stowage position parallel to the seatback, and a lock mechanism for holding the seat bottom at the stowage position when the seat bottom is moved to the stowage position. When the seatback is moved to the horizontal position, the vehicle seat has a dive-down state where the seatback and the seat bottom are stacked on top of the other. The seat bottom has a detection lever that, when the seat bottom becomes the dive-down state, comes into contact with a floor panel and is displaced. In the lock mechanism, when the detection lever is displaced, the function of holding the seat bottom at the stowage position becomes ineffective.

Vehicle seat

A foldable and storable seat for a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle seat includes a seat cushion pivotally supported at a rear portion thereof to a vehicle floor by a pair of spaced apart base brackets, cooperating members for causing a forward portion of the seat cushion to be releasably supported to the vehicle floor, a seat back pivotally supported to the seat cushion, recliner devices for releasably locking the seat back relative to the seat cushion, the seat cushion and the seat back being foldable so as to be put together when the seat back is released from the seat cushion by the recliner devices, and a linkage mechanism mounted to the seat cushion, the linkage mechanism including a first linkage section for causing the recliner devices to be actuated synchronously with pivotal movement of the vehicle seat, and the first linkage section being coupled to one of the base brackets and the recliner devices.

Foldable and storable seat for vehicle

A foldable and storable seat for a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle seat includes a seat cushion pivotally supported at a rear portion thereof to a vehicle floor by a pair of spaced apart base brackets, the seat cushion including a seat back frame, a seat back pivotally supported to the seat cushion, a seat leg pivotally supported to a forward portion of a bottom of the seat cushion, spring members provided between the seat cushion and the seat back for urging the seat cushion and the seat back in such a direction that the seat cushion and the seat back are drawn toward each other, recliner devices provided between the seat cushion and the seat back for releasably locking the seat back relative to the seat cushion against action of the spring members, cooperating members for causing the seat leg to be releasably supported to the vehicle floor, and a linkage mechanism attached to the seat back frame for causing the recliner devices and/or the seat leg to be actuated synchronously with pivotal movement of the vehicle seat.

A detachable seat for a vehicle, includes a seat cushion, a seat leg mechanism for supporting the seat cushion, the seat leg mechanism including a base member on which the seat cushion is carried, and first and second spaced apart leg members pivotally connected to the base member, a seat back pivotally mounted to the base member of the seat leg mechanism, a first cooperating mechanism on the first and second leg members and a vehicle floor for causing the seat to be releasably locked with the vehicle floor, and a second cooperating mechanism on the base member and the seat cushion for causing the seat cushion to be removably or detachably mounted with respect to the base member.
