Seat locking system

A seat locking system for a seat pivotably coupled to a seat base, the seat being selectively pivotable with respect to the seat base between a retracted position and an extended position, the seat locking system comprising:

• a lock coupled to the seat base, the lock including a catch, a retention member, and a contact member,
• a locking pawl pivotably coupled to the seat, the locking pawl including an abutment member and a latch member, the locking pawl being pivotable between a locked position and an unlocked position with respect to the seat, and
• a stop coupled to the seat, the stop adapted to engage the contact member of the lock when the seat is in the retracted position to prevent the seat from pivoting beyond the retracted position when the seat is pivoted from the extended position to the retracted position,
• wherein when the seat is in the retracted position and the locking pawl is in the locked position the abutment member of the locking pawl is adapted to engage the catch of the lock such that the locking pawl blocks the seat from moving to the extended position, and when the seat is in the extended position and the locking pawl is in the locked position the latch member of the locking pawl is adapted to engage the retention member of the lock such that the locking pawl blocks movement of the seat from the extended position to the retracted position, the seat being selectively pivotable between the retracted position and the extended position when the locking pawl is in the unlocked position.
