Abstract
The motor vehicle seat comprises a seat proper and a seat back. The seat is caused to go from a passenger position to a first load position by causing the seat proper to pivot through 90° about a horizontal axis close to its front edge, and by causing the seat back to pivot through 90° about a horizontal axis close to its bottom edge. The seat back thus comes to occupy the space that is occupied by the seat proper when it is in the passenger position. The seat is caused to go from the first load position to a second load position by causing the seat proper to pivot through a further 90° about its horizontal axis. The seat is caused to go from the passenger position to the first load position, and then from the first load position to the second load position, by actuating a single handle.
