Abstract
A reversible seat located in a vehicle for seating passengers in a forward direction or alternatively in a rearward direction. The seat apparatus has a frame carrying a backrest cushion and a seat cushion. Two pairs of legs attach the frame to a support secured to the floor of the vehicle. A releasable lock assembly has upright support members which engage pins in the legs to hold the frame in a first seating position and in a second seating position. A release arm connected to one of the legs is operable on application of force thereto to move the members from the pins whereby the frame can be moved to its second seating position.
