Patent number: 9511689Abstract: A seating apparatus for a vehicle, in which a seat cushion supported on the vehicle body by a link member can be flipped up toward the front of the vehicle from a use position and which includes a locking mechanism that operates only when the seat cushion is acted upon by an inertial force greater than a predetermined force in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, to temporarily prevent the seat cushion from flipping up. The locking mechanism includes a locking plate supported on the seat cushion and rockable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle between a normal position and a rocked position, and a spring for urging the locking plate toward the normal position. The locking plate locks the seat cushion to the link member when it is moved inertially to the rocked position against the force of the spring, to prevent the seat cushion from flipping up, and the locking plate unlocks the seat cushion when it is located in the normal position.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignees: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Tachi-S Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yohei Mabashi, Yoshiyuki Shimomura, Shigeya Fujino, Katsuhiko Sasaki, Kazuya Imayou, Toshiki Igarashi, Masao Ishihara
