Abstract: A tip-up seat assembly with a backrest, adapted to be secured to a supporting structure in a generally upright orientation, a corresponding seat member adjacent the backrest, hingedly mounted for rotation between an open position wherein the seat member is substantially horizontal and a folded position wherein the seat member is tilted upwardly toward the backrest, biasing device for biasing the seat member toward the folded position, and a tilt-limiter configured to resiliently restrain the seat member in an intermediate position thereby avoiding inadvertent rotation of the seat member into the folded position.
