Abstract
This set includes a rear foot (4) which is an extension of the back-rest and which is connected by a rod (10) articulated to a front foot (14) articulated to the floor of the vehicle. Retractable locks (20, 32, 28) retain, on the one hand, the articulation (16) of the front foot with the rod under the seat-bottom (1), and, on the other hand, the rear foot against the seat-bottom and against the floor. When these two latter locks are opened, the seat can pivot on the articulation placed under the seat-bottom and can be folded behind the front seat. When the lock (28) of the rear foot and that (20) of the seat are disengaged, the seat-back pivots about its articulation with the seat-bottom and the latter rises so as to form a couchette.
