Abstract
An adjustable seat includes a carrier, a seat body, a first linking rod, a second linking rod, a sliding mechanism, and an adjustment block. The seat body is arranged on the carrier and includes a seat surface switchable between a first direction and a second direction. The first linking rod is hinged to the seat body and the carrier. The second linking rod is hinged to the seat body and the carrier. The sliding mechanism includes a slide rail and a slide block slidably engaged with the slide rail. The slide block is hinged to the seat body. The slide rail is hinged to the first linking rod and the second linking rod. The adjustment block is slidably coupled to the slide rail or the seat body for switching the seat surface between the first orientation and the second orientation.
