Abstract
A seat assembly having a seat back (), a generally horizontal seat cushion (), and a recliner mechanism () allowing for pivotal adjustment of the seat back about a first pivot axis () relative to the seat cushion and displacement of the first pivot axis about a second pivot axis () between forward and rearward positions. With the first pivot axis () in the forward position, the seat back is adjustable about the first pivot axis () between a plurality of reclined seating positions. With the first pivot axis in the rearward position, the seat back is adjustable about the first pivot axis between one of the reclined seating positions and a stowed position generally aligned against the seat cushion. The seat cushion is pivotally adjustable about a four bar linkage () between a seating position and a stowed position. A link () interconnects the seat back and the seat cushion allowing movement of both the seat back and the seat cushion together between the respective seating and stowed positions.
