Abstract:
1. A seat assembly for supporting a plurality of occupants, said seat assembly comprising: a seat cushion; a pair of spaced apart outer seat backs pivotally secured to said seat cushion and each independently and selectively pivotal between an operational position and a stored position; a middle seat back pivotally secured to said seat cushion and disposed between said pair of spaced apart outer seat backs, said middle seat back selectively pivotal between an operational position and a stored position; each of said outer seat backs having a pair of spaced apart side bolsters pivotally hinged thereto for movement between a retracted position and a deployed position, said pair of side bolsters operatively connected with said middle seat back, whereby pivotal movement of said middle seat back from said operational position to said stored positions urges said pairs of bolsters of said outer seat backs to said deployed position, and pivotal movement of said middle seat back from said stored position to said operational position releases the pair of bolsters of said outer seat back enabling said pair of bolsters to be moved to the retracted position.
