  • Patent number: 7452033
    Abstract: A structure for movement of a rear catch of a double folding seat for a vehicle. The seat includes a seat frame with a front mounting structure which is fixed by a hinge coupling part including a front catch; and a rear mounting structure, including a striker, and a rear catch that is attachable to and detachable from the striker. The rear catch is movable in a lateral direction of the vehicle along connecting bars. A cable has a first end connected to the rear catch, and a second end attached to a leg frame that rotates during folding of the seat. A moving operation part connects the leg frame to the connecting bars. During folding of the seat, the cable pulls the rear catch inward and away from the door frame, providing more space for loading and unloading of the vehicle.
