  • Seat support mechanism of vehicles
    Patent number: 6698835
    Abstract: A structure for supporting a vehicle seat, which includes a seatback. The seat is slidable relative to a floor of the vehicle, and the seatback inclines forward with respect to the seat. The structure holds the seat in a stable state when the seatback is used as a table. The structure includes a seat cushion, which moves between a normal position at which a passenger may sit on the seat and a lifted position at which the seat cushion is moved from the normal position. A locking member selectively permits and prohibits the sliding of the seat. An actuating member controls the locking member and prohibits the sliding of the seat when the seat cushion is located at the lifted position and the seatback is inclined forward with respect to the seat.
