Patent number: 8616642Abstract: A fold-and-dive apparatus for a vehicle seat is provided, which includes a protrusion projecting from a seat back that is folded toward a seat cushion, a moving block moving on a connection link by the protrusion when the seat back is folded, a lock plate connected to the moving block by a cable to move upward and downward on the connection link so as to restrain and release the seat cushion, and an elastic member having both end portions installed in the seat cushion and a vehicle body, respectively, to make the seat cushion slide forward. Since the seat cushion slides forward when the seat back is folded, the overlap of bolster portions between the seat back and the seat cushion is minimized, and thus the evenness of the seat back that is folded toward the seat cushion and the luggage trim is maximally improved.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors CorporationInventors: Young Bok Sung, Chan Ho Jeong, Tae Hoon Lee, Seon Chae Na
