Abstract: A vehicle seat, particularly a motor vehicle seat, has a seat cushion and a backrest, and a seat mechanism connecting the seat cushion and/or the backrest to at least one seat rail pair. The seat rail pair has two seat rails that can be displaced relatively to one another and which can be locked together by a rail locking mechanism. The vehicle seat can be shifted by the seat mechanism from a use position to a non-use position. A coupler couples the seat mechanism and the seat locking mechanism together in such a way that a least one seat rail pair is locked in the use position and the non-use position of the vehicle seat and is unlocked in an intermediate position of the vehicle seat located between the use position and the non-use position.

Abstract: The boat has a flap (1) forming a part of its V- or spoon-shaped bow and being unfoldable therefrom. This flap is supported by means of projections (9a,9b) arranged on both of its sides on swivel joints (13a,13b) set back into the inside of the boat with respect to the inner wall of the bow. Upon pivoting the flap (1) out of the bow opening (15), the flap is swung away from the bow wall portion with the uncovering of an interspace (2) between the flap and the bow wall portion which latter lies underneath the bow opening (15). The flap outside wall can be urged underneath the surface of the water and can be fixed in its position. The flap (1) is designed as a buoyant member, and when serving as a working or recreational platform, etc., can be folded back into the bow of the boat in such a way that the hydro- and aerodynamic properties as well as the esthetic appearance of the bow are not impaired.
