Abstract:
A seat assembly, comprising:a seat bottom mounted to a base; a seat back adjustable relative to said seat bottom; a seat-back latch mechanism interconnecting said seat back and said seat bottom for movement of said seat back between a use position and a folded position; a floor-latch mechanism selectively connecting said seat bottom to said base for movement of said seat bottom between a deployed position and a stowed position; and an interlock mechanism interacting with said floor-latch mechanism and said seat-back latch mechanism to selectively block operation of said floor-latch mechanism and said seat-back latch mechanism, wherein said interlock mechanism blocks operation of said floor-latch mechanism when said seat back is in said use position and blocks operation of said seat-back latch mechanism when said seatback is in said stowed position.
