Abstract:
A vehicle seat with a seat bottom and backrest is configured for movement between a forward-facing position and an inwardly-rotated position in a reconfigurable vehicle passenger cabin. The movement includes rotation about a vertical axis located along an inboard side of the seat and a rear side of the seat bottom. The vertical axis can be located within an inboard quarter of the seat, rearward of an occupant seating surface of the seat bottom, forward or rearward of a rear side of a bottom end of the backrest, and various combinations of these locations. In addition to providing a seat occupant with additional freedom of movement within the passenger cabin, the inwardly-rotated position of the seat can also provide a safer condition for the seat occupant with respect to structural portions of the vehicle body.

Claim (Index 1):
A personal automotive vehicle having a reconfigurable passenger cabin, comprising:\n a vehicle body having a vertical pillar and a longitudinal axis; a door opening that provides passenger access into and out of the passenger cabin, the door opening being partly defined by the vertical pillar; a seat comprising a seat bottom and a backrest and having an inboard side and an opposite outboard side located between the inboard side and the door opening, the seat bottom having a front side and an opposite rear side; and a coupling device that movably couples the seat with the vehicle body for movement between a forward-facing position and an inwardly-rotated position, said movement including rotation about a vertical axis located along the inboard side of the seat and along or behind the rear side of the seat bottom, wherein the seat is located in the passenger cabin so that at least a portion of the seat is longitudinally located at the vertical pillar when the seat is in at least one of said positions.
