Abstract
The invention provides a seat stowing system for stowing in a floor recess () a seat () with a seat back () tipped forward to fold it against a seat cushion (). The stowing system () includes a seat back forward-tipping mechanism for automatically tipping the seat back forward and a swinging mechanism () for automatically swinging the folded seat back and the seat cushion as one. The seat back forward-tipping mechanism and the swinging mechanism are drive-controlled by a control unit, and the operation of stowing the seat in the floor recess is thus made electric.
