Abstract
A seat assembly for a passenger compartment of an automotive vehicle including a seat back portion pivotally mounted on a lower seat portion. The lower seat portion has a frame that forms the base of a parallelogram linkage riser for the lower seat portion. A seat back panel for the seal back portion is supported by a parallelogram linkage secured to a seat back frame. The riser and the seat back portion linkages are lowered as the seat back portion is folded forward. A mounting bracket is secured to a seat track that forms a part of the floor pan of the passenger compartment including rollers for permitting adjustment of the seat assembly along the seat track. Adjustable legs at the forward margin of the lower seat portion permit the seat assembly to be lowered and stored in a foot well area of the floor pan structure as the legs are moved to a collapsed position and as the seat assembly moves forward in the seat track.
