Abstract
A modular seat layout system in an automobile vehicle that includes at last two seats located one behind the other. The front seat is attached to the floor of the vehicle by a first set of hinged items so that the seat pan of the front seat can translate forward to be housed in the space existing in front of the front seat when it is in the normal utilization position. The backrest of the front seat extends more or less horizontally towards the rear from the seat pan at the location that the seat pan occupies in the normal utilization position. The rear seat is attached to the floor by a second of hinged items so that the rear seat can be folded and placed against the backrest of the front seat.
