Abstract
A rear or bench seat in a motor vehicle such as a "Estate car", "station-wagon" or "hatch-back" is adapted to be folded down. A locking mechanism is provided to lock the back seat in the operative position. The locking mechanism comprises a locking element which extends substantially across the whole width of the vehicle in which the seat is fitted, which is mounted on the back of the seat. The locking element has means adapted to engage an abutment located on each side of the motor car when in the locking position. The locking element can be moved to a release position.
