Abstract
A collapsible seat for use in industrial machinery cabs or commercial vehicles. The seat is secured at one end to a hinge attached to a vertical support member. The other end of the seat is supported by foldable arms, and a flexible tension member interconnects a lever arm adjacent the seat and the foldable arms. Rotation of the lever arm causes the foldable arms to fold and the seat to collapse against the vertical support member.
