Abstract

A vehicle console seat functions as a seat, armrest and beverage container holder for an occupant. The seat back of the console seat can be locked in an upright position and support an occupant sitting on the seat, or the seat back may be released from an upright locked position by applying a lateral force to the side of the seat back, thereby releasing and spring forcing the seat back forward to a fold down position where it can be used as an armrest. The front of the seat may be pivotally opened to expose a beverage container holder. A beverage container holder may also be attached to the rear of the seat.
