Folding seat with rocking back-rest

Abstract

Abstract 1. Retractable seat with swing back, whose back is connected, at its lower part, to the structure (5) of the vehicle by swinging links (3) and has in its upper part at least one axially movable locking finger (6) cooperating with a catch (7 or 7') integral with the structure, characterized in that the catch (7 or 7') comprises a first elongate aperture (17) in which the locking finger (6) may be engaged for a first rear position (8) of the seat back, a second elongate aperture (16) in which the locking finger may engage in a second front position (8a) of the seat back, the two apertures being connected together by a gully (9) whose depth is less than that of the apertures, which opens forwardly through a clearance channel (12), and which is defined downwardly by a guide track (10 or 10') which may be either rectilinear or approximately rectilinear or centered on the lower pivoting shaft (2) of the seat back for the endmost rear position of the links (3), and resilient means (13) tending to apply the finger on the guide track (10) of the channel.
