Abstract
A flexible seating system ( ) for a vehicle ( ) which includes a side wall track ( ) mounted to the vehicle side wall ( ) and extending longitudinally of the vehicle. A cross track ( ) extends laterally across the vehicle. A seat back ( ) of the vehicle seat ( ) is coupled to the side wall track and cross track by slidable bearing ( ) devices so that the seat back can be moved from a laterally extending forward facing position to a stowed position alongside the vehicle side wall. The seat bottom ( ) is rotatably coupled to the seat back by a hinge ( ) mechanism and can extend generally horizontally from the seat back to be rotated to an upright stowed position overlying the seat back. A support extends from the seat bottom to the vehicle floor ( ) to support the seat bottom in a spaced relationship above the floor.
