  • Patent number: 6860561
    Abstract: A folding seat comprising a seat cushion having a cushioning member supported by a seat frame and a seat back having a cushioning member supported by a back frame which is pivoted forward with respect to the seat frame so that a seat comprised of the seat cushion and the seat back can be folded. The distance between each of the side frames composing the seat frame is arranged to be wider than the distance between each of the side frames composing the back frame. A front end frame of the seat frame is positioned outside an upper end frame of the back frame when the seat frame and the back frame come close together upon folding the seat. Accordingly the thickness of the whole seat can be substantially the same as the seat cushion or the seat back alone, when the seat is folded. Thus, luggage space for baggage in a vehicle can be increased when the seat is folded.
