Abstract
A seat cushion is pivotally mounted on a base structure so as to be pivotal between its horizontal in-use position and its upright folded position. A roller is rotatably connected to a rear end of the seat cushion, which is operatively engaged with a curved guide rail secured to the base structure so as to run along the guide rail during the pivotal movement of the seat cushion. A roller catching device is arranged in the guide rail for catching and thus holding the seat cushion in the upright folded position when the seat cushion is pivoted to the upright folded position.
