Patent ID: 8556348

Claim:
A seat assembly for mounting on a track, the seat assembly comprising: a track mount configured to shift along the track; a platform configured to selectively latch to, unlatch from, and pivot relative to the track mount; a seat-back pivotably connected to the platform and configured to selectively latch to the platform in a first seat-back position, unlatch from the platform, and pivot to a second seat-back position; a seat-cushion pivotably connected to the platform and configured to selectively latch to the platform in a first seat-cushion position, unlatch from the platform, and pivot to a second seat-cushion position; and a first mechanism configured to selectively operate the seat assembly in a first mode and a second mode; wherein: in the first seat-back position the seat-back stands free of the seat-cushion and in the second seat-back position the seat-back rests against the seat-cushion; in the first seat-cushion position a height of the seat-cushion is greater relative to the platform as compared to the second seat-cushion position; the first mode includes unlatching and pivoting the seat-back from the first seat-back position to the second seat-back position, and unlatching and pivoting the platform relative to the track mount such that the seat assembly tumbles relative to the track; and the second mode includes unlatching and pivoting the seat-cushion from the first seat-cushion position to the second seat-cushion position, and unlatching and pivoting the seat-back from the first seat-back position to the second seat-back position such that the seat-back comes to rest substantially parallel to the track mount.
