Patent ID: 6991293

Claim:
A vehicle seat support frame assembly comprising: a seat cushion base member having opposite ends; a first leg having opposite ends one of which includes a pivot connection for providing pivotal connection to one of the ends of the seat cushion base member and the other of which includes a pivotal connection for providing pivotal connection thereof to an associated vehicle; a second leg having opposite ends one of which includes a pivot connection for providing pivotal connection to the other end of the seat cushion base member and the other of which provides support thereof on the vehicle in a seating position; and a latch assembly including: (a) a first latch having a latched condition for providing connection of the other end of the second leg to the associated vehicle in the seating position and having an unlatched condition for releasing the other end of the second leg from the vehicle for pivoting of the pivotal connections and concomitant movement of the seat support frame assembly to a stowed position, (b) a second latch having a latched condition where the second latch extends between the second leg and the seat cushion base member in order to prevent pivoting of the pivotal connection between the one end of the second leg and other end of the seat cushion base member in the seating position to provide rigidity to the seat support frame assembly, and the second latch having an unlatched condition disconnected between the second leg and the seat cushion frame member to permit pivotal movement of the pivotal connection between the one end of the second leg and other end of the seat cushion base member during movement of the seat support frame assembly between the seating and stowed positions, and (c) a release actuator for selective releasing the first and second latches from their latched conditions to their unlatched conditions to permit movement of the seat support frame assembly from the seating position to the stowed position.
