Abstract:
A vehicle seat in combination with a vehicle body, comprising:a seat cushion rotatably provided so as to be able to be rotated or flipped over between a horizontal use position and an upright storage position; a seat back rotatably with said vehicle body so as to be able to be rotated or flipped over between an upright use position and a horizontal storage position; an interlocking means operatively connected with said seat back and said seat cushion, said interlocking means including: a biasing means for biasingly causing said seat cushion to flip over to said upright storage position, said biasing means being so workable as to resiliently contract and extend in a direction; a link means having one end pivotally connected with said seat back and another end pivotally connected with said biasing means, and a guide means for guiding said biasing means so as to insure that the biasing means works in said direction, with such an arrangement that, upon folding said seat back from the upright use position down to the horizontal storage position, both said link means and said biasing means are moved via said guide means, thereby automatically rotating or flipping over said seat cushion from said horizontal use position to said upright storage position.
