Abstract:
1. A vehicle seat assembly comprising: a base portion; a support bracket pivotally coupled to the base portion about a first axis, the support bracket having a distal end that moves between a position vertically above the first axis to a position vertically below the first axis as the support bracket pivots about the first axis; a seatback frame pivotally coupled to the support bracket about a second axis that is spaced apart from the first axis; and a cushion frame pivotally coupled to the support bracket about a third axis that is spaced apart from both the first and second axes, such that the seatback frame and the cushion frame move with the support bracket relative to the base portion when the support bracket pivots about the first axis, and the cushion frame is further pivotable relative to the support bracket while the support bracket is stationary relative to the base portion.
