  • Patent number: 7213879
    Abstract: The stowage type seat 1 is built into the rear seat of an automobile, and is constructed from a seat cushion 2 that supports the hips of the passenger, a seat back 3 that supports the back of the passenger, and a safety bone 4 that acts to absorb impact and ensure strength in the case of severe impacts from the rear. The seat back 3 is constructed from a fixed remaining-part shell 11 and an opening-and-closing part shell 12 that can open and close on the side of the seat cushion 2. Both of these shells are connected via a connecting rod that passes through the lower parts of the shells, so that the shells can pivot; furthermore, these parts have a construction in which opening and locking can be adjusted by a stowage lever part 14 on the upper end part.
