  • Patent number: 6279982
    Abstract: When a rear seat is moved forward, a front leg is swung forward around a roller arm. When the front leg of the rear seat is swung forward by a predetermined angle, a hook provided in the roller arm is detached from a round bar portion of a striker so that a roller is moved downward along a guide rail. Further, as the roller is moved downward along the guide rail, the front leg of the rear seat is swung forward around the roller arm. Therefore, a radius of rotation of the seat is reduced when the rear seat is moved to a position for storage on a vertical-front-side floor surface.
